HERO® 250H-EC Fresh Air Applia

Top duct connection HRV, 263 cfm, ENERGY STAR®, EC motors

Item #: 463254

Powered by EC motors, the HERO 250H-EC fresh air appliance provides a controlled way of ventilating a home without excessive heat losses.

• Up to 252 cfm of supply air @ 0.4 in. wg.
• Up to 80% heat recovery to temper the incoming fresh air
• 6” top-mounted connections with rubberized duct seals
• Unobstructed front access for fast & easy maintenance
• Energy-efficient counterflow core to provide exceptional performance
• Multi-speed operation to provide exact airflow
• ENERGY STAR® Certified
• Compatible with the ECO-Touch® Auto IAQ Programmable Wall Control
• Limited warranty (limited lifetime on counterflow core, 7 years on the motor, and 5 years on parts)

 

Nowadays, new homes utilize a tighter envelope and require mechanical ventilation to remove excess moisture, odors, and contaminants, and provide fresh air for occupants.

 

Older homes provide a natural infiltration of fresh air through gaps & cracks in the building envelope which consequently results in large losses of heat.

 

Our HERO series of fresh air appliances supplies fresh, filtered air into an indoor space while simultaneously removing an equal amount of moist, stale air.

 

This appliance recovers up to 80% of the energy from the extract air and uses it to temper the incoming fresh air, optimizing the energy required to pre-cool or pre-heat the newly introduced air.

 

In the Box

This appliance comes with a wall mount, external electrical box with easy connect ports, integrated in-door manometer ports, and duct ports with plastic collar shrouds with integrated backdraft for simple, fast installation.
