Thanks

do you have a drain at the bottom of the HRV?

yes set up just like the photo in this thread. I think mine is water coming off the pipe leading to the HRV, i have a slight slope going to the HRV on that pipe but not much as theres a door in the room the pipe has to clear.

So what do you figure is a fair price for two guys for a day? A grand is fair where I come from. Good on ya guys for diy'ing the job.

wingedfish, no problem a $1000 for labour and probably would have agreed to $2500 a unit with installation, to cover markup on the unit and other materials. Just couldn't do $4000.

bkelly, again the insulation shouldn't be wet. No expert but I'd replace.

Not only does it remove the humidity, it actually does recover the heat.

Inserted a temp probe in the ducts a couple of feet from the unit (house side) exhaust 22°, fresh air 13° with the outside air measuring -9°C.

Good to hear.

There are multiple ways to do HRVs
A stand alone system with supplys in the bedrooms and living room and exhausts in the kitchens bathrooms is best but alot of labour $$$ but you can also just tie it into your supply and return ducts off a forced air system not as good but substainally cheeper
