HRV/ Furnace ducting for Partially Dedicated System

INSTALLATION EXAMPLES 

(CONT'D)

DIRECT CONNECTION of the FRESH air to living area to the RETURN PLENUM 
of the AIR HANDLER (Stale air drawn from key areas of home)

PARTIALLY DEDICATED SYSTEM (BETTER)

Suggested installation for:

• Central furnace (air 

handling unit or central 
air conditioners)

• When ducting fresh 

air to living area is not 
possible or practical, 
i.e. expensive or when 
the central AHU will 
operate year-round.

Benefits: 

Conditions the 

fresh air prior to
distributing it throughout 
the house

1.  In order to provide proper distribution of the fresh air, it is recommended 

that the furnace blower be set to run continuously or interconnected with 
HRV. See furnace electrical connection on page 18.

2.  Stale air is drawn from key areas of the home (bathroom, kitchen, laundry 

room).

3.  Fresh air is supplied to the return air plenum of the furnace.

4.  Due to the difference in pressure between the HRV and the equipment it 

is being connected to the HRV’s airflow must be balanced on site, using 
the procedure found in the section “AIRFLOW BALANCING”

* In the case of a multi-zone system, please contact Fantech customer 

service prior to installing any installation type requiring the use of the 

furnace interlock"

Make sure the HRV is 

capable of meeting the

required airflow rate.

Stale air from inside

* Unit airflow should be balanced while HRV is on
“Normal” speed and furnace blower is running.
