We installed an ERV in our house. DIY Energy Recovery Ventilator Honeywell VNT5150E1000

We installed a Honeywell VNT5150E1000 ERV in our house to fix the ventilation issues that were caused by spray foam insulation. I finally got our ERV installed. It took over 2 months and about $3k. It’s running and I think the house feels a lot better. It doesn’t smell weird and funky upstairs like spray foam anymore. The whole house feels fresher to me. I guess we will see over time if it fixes a bunch of problems the we were having. You’re supposed to balance an ERV. I used a cheap manometer and a pitot tube, and I think it might be close, or maybe not. You have to do math with that cheap manometer to figure out the cfm. It’s too complicated for me. I ordered a Testo i405 anemometer so it will just tell me cfm. I will be making a video about balancing the ERV. I will put a link to that video here when I’m done. Right now I’m just using the control box that is on the ERV, but I’m going to be installing an external control in my living room next to my thermostat. That way I can set the ERV to run on a timer or to run automatically or whatever. I don’t think it needs to run 24 hours a day. I want to set it up to maybe run 15 or 20 minutes per hour. I’m not really sure yet. I’m still researching that and I’ll figure it out. Right now I usually run it anytime that I’m home and I’ll turn it off when I leave. Sometimes I let it run all day when I’m not here. I will be making a few more videos about this ERV over the next few weeks.
