    What to do if Fantech SHR 2005R has poor air flows?
    • B
      Bianca ReyesAug 20, 2025
      If your Fantech Fan has poor air flows, you can try the following: * Clean exterior hoods or vents if the 1/4" (6mm) mesh on the outside hoods is plugged. * Remove and clean the filter if filters are plugged. * Remove and clean the core if it is obstructed. * Check and open indoor grilles if they are closed or blocked. Also, ensure that an electrician checks the supply voltage if there is an inadequate power supply at the site and check duct installation if ductwork is restricting airflow. Increase the speed of the HRV if there is an improper speed control setting. If the HRV airflow is improperly balanced or ducting has fallen down or been disconnected from the HRV, have a contractor address these issues.

    Why is my Fantech SHR 2005R supply air feels cold?
    • J
      Jacob KellyAug 25, 2025
      If the supply air from your Fantech Fan feels cold, it could be due to the following reasons: * The location of supply grilles may be causing airflow to irritate occupants. Relocate the grilles high on the walls or under the baseboards, and install ceiling-mounted diffusers or grilles to avoid directly spilling supply air on occupants. You can also turn down the HRV supply speed. A small duct heater (1kW) could be used to temper the supply air. Ensure that furniture placement or closed doors are not restricting air movement. * If the outdoor temperature is extremely cold, and supply air is ducted into the furnace return, the furnace fan may need to run continuously to distribute ventilation air comfortably.

    What to do if Fantech Fan has persistent condensation on window?
    • G
      Gabriel DavisAug 26, 2025
      If you notice persistent condensation on windows when using your Fantech Fan, consider the following: * Reduce the desired level of humidity, if there is an improper adjustment of the dehumidistat control, and combine this step with the use of continuous exchange mode. * Have a contractor balance the HRV if the HRV is out of balance. * Open curtains or blinds to improve air circulation near windows.

    How to fix HRV and/or Ducts frosting up in Fantech SHR 2005R?
    • R
      Regina DavisAug 28, 2025
      If your Fantech Fan's HRV and/or ducts are frosting up, consider these solutions: * Have an HVAC contractor balance the HRV airflows if the HRV air flows are improperly balanced. * Note that minimal frost build-up is expected on cores before the unit initiates defrost cycle functions, if there is a malfunction of the HRV defrost system.

      Justin DouglasAug 29, 2025
      If the air is too dry when using your Fantech Fan, increase the desired level of humidity if the dehumidistat control is set too low. Also, change the ventilation mode from continuous mode to standby.

    How to fix Condensation or Ice Build Up in Insulated Duct to the Outside in Fantech SHR 2005R Fan?
    • A
      Albert TaylorAug 31, 2025
      To address condensation or ice build-up in the insulated duct to the outside of your Fantech Fan, tape and seal all joints if there is an incomplete vapor barrier around the insulated duct. Also, tape any holes or tears made in the outer duct covering and ensure that the vapor barrier is completely sealed if there is a hole or tear in the outer duct covering.

    How to improve poor air flow in my Fantech SHR 2005R?
    • C
      Calvin RomanSep 2, 2025
      Poor airflow in your Fantech Fan can stem from several issues. Start by checking and cleaning the exterior hoods or vents if the 1/4" (6mm) mesh is plugged. Remove and clean the filter and core. Ensure indoor grilles are open and unblocked. Have an electrician check the power supply voltage. Inspect duct installation for restrictions. Increase the fan speed, and if these steps don't resolve the issue, have a contractor balance the HRV airflow or reconnect any disconnected ducting.

    What to do if there is persistent condensation on window with Fantech SHR 2005R Fan?
    • T
      Theresa PerrySep 6, 2025
      Persistent condensation on windows when using your Fantech Fan might be due to a few reasons. Try reducing the desired level of humidity by adjusting the dehumidistat control and using continuous exchange mode. If that doesn't work, have a contractor balance the HRV. Also, make sure to open curtains or blinds to improve air circulation near the windows.

    Why does the supply air feel cold from my Fantech Fan?
    • N
      Natasha CummingsSep 8, 2025
      If the supply air from your Fantech Fan feels cold, it could be due to the location of the supply grilles, which might irritate the occupant. Consider relocating the grilles higher on the walls or under the baseboards, or install ceiling-mounted diffusers or grilles to avoid directly spilling the supply air on the occupant. You could also turn down the HRV supply speed or use a small duct heater (1kW) to temper the supply air. Additionally, ensure that furniture or closed doors aren't restricting air movement in the home. If the outdoor temperature is extremely cold, and the supply air is ducted into the furnace return, the furnace fan may need to run continuously to distribute ventilation air comfortably.
