Ideal for Condominiums / Housing Authority Properties / Hotels / Studio Apartments Bringing Fresh-Air Ventilation into Your Home Panasonic WhisperComfort Spot Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) offers a revolutionary way to provide balanced ventilation with a ceiling insert ERV. Affordable and easy to install, WhisperComfort is energy efficient and provides fresh, ventilated air while maintaining indoor air quality. Balanced Ventilation Panasonic WhisperComfort Spot ERVs use two ducts - one to exhaust stale air and the other to supply fresh air from outside. Its low-rate, continuous run helps ensure chemicals and indoor pollutants are vented out and replaced wih fresh air. Patent-Pending Capillary Core When air is brought in from the outside, the patented capillary core inside WhisperComfort fans transfers heat and moisture to the supply air coming in so that it tempers the indoor temperature and moisture levels. This helps maintain energy efficiency inside the house while bringing in new, clean air from outdoors. Keeps Air Pressure Balanced In tightly built homes and buildings, natural air leaks are minimized in the building envelope to increase energy efficiency. Just exhausting polluted air out while supplying new air creates negative pressure. The WhisperComfort ERV solves this by supplying air to replace the exhausted air, helping to balance the air pressure in the home. This unit may or may not be appropriate for year-round use in your area of the country. CLICK HERE TO SEE RECOMMENDED ZONE MAP FOR YOUR AREA.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperComfort Spot ERV - FV-04VE1:

This is the second unit installed in our house. The first has been running over two years in the living room to exchange air without having to open windows.
The second unit is installed in the basement also to exchange air but mainly to get rid of RADON gas. In less then one week we've reduced our RADON level from 7.1 to 4.1(max allowable value) and it's still dropping.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperComfort Spot ERV - FV-04VE1:

This unit is perfect for the 250 square foot recording studio I'm making in my daylight basement. Only gripe: less-than-beefy mounting brackets on a unit this heavy and bulky, make it a little difficult for one guy to install. Otherwise it works great. Even on the high-flow setting (40 cfm) it's quieter than a typical refrigerator. Amazing to feel fresh outside air coming out of it, magically heated and humidified.
