How to improve poor air flow in my Greentek SOLACE?
- B
  Brian RodriguezAug 22, 2025
  Poor airflow in your Greentek Ventilation Hood can stem from several issues. The outside hoods might be plugged, so clean them. Check if the filters are dirty and clean them if necessary. An obstructed core can also restrict airflow, so remove and clean it. Ensure indoor grilles are open and not blocked. An inadequate power supply could be the problem, so have an electrician check the supply voltage. The ductwork might be restricting airflow, so check the duct installation. If the speed control setting is too low, increase the HRV speed. An improperly balanced HRV airflow needs to be adjusted by a contractor. Finally, ducting that has fallen down or been disconnected from the HRV requires reconnection by a contractor.

Why does the supply air feel cold from my Greentek SOLACE Ventilation Hood?
- J
  Jennifer OconnellAug 25, 2025
  If the supply air from your Greentek Ventilation Hood feels cold, it could be due to the location of the supply grilles, which may irritate occupants. Try relocating the grilles higher on the walls or under the baseboards, or install ceiling-mounted diffusers to avoid direct airflow on occupants. You can also turn down the HRV supply speed. A small duct heater can temper the supply air. Ensure furniture or closed doors aren't restricting air movement. If the outdoor temperature is extremely cold, and the supply air is ducted into the furnace return, run the furnace fan continuously to distribute ventilation air comfortably.

What to do if HRV and/or Ducts frosting up in Greentek SOLACE?
- B
  Brittany MckenzieAug 26, 2025
  If your Greentek Ventilation Hood HRV and/or ducts are frosting up, it could be due to improperly balanced HRV airflows, which an HVAC contractor needs to balance. It could also be a malfunction of the HRV defrost system. Note that minimal frost build-up is expected on the core before the unit initiates defrost cycle functions.

  If the air is too dry when using your Greentek Ventilation Hood, the dehumidistat control might be set too low. Increase the desired level of humidity and change the ventilation mode from continuous to standby.

Why is there persistent condensation on window with Greentek Ventilation Hood?
- R
  Robert JonesAug 30, 2025
  Persistent condensation on windows when using your Greentek Ventilation Hood may be due to improper adjustment of the dehumidistat control. Reduce the desired level of humidity and use continuous exchange mode.

What causes condensation or ice build up in insulated duct to the outside of Greentek SOLACE Ventilation Hood?
- L
  Linda BrownAug 31, 2025
  Condensation or ice buildup in the insulated duct of your Greentek Ventilation Hood can be caused by an incomplete vapor barrier around the insulated duct; tape and seal all joints. A hole or tear in the outer duct covering can also cause this; tape any holes or tears and ensure the vapor barrier is completely sealed.

What to do if LED is flashing on Greentek SOLACE?
- W
  William GarciaSep 2, 2025
  If the LED is flashing on your Greentek Ventilation Hood, it could be because no power is being transmitted to the control board. Make sure the unit is plugged in. The transformer may need replacing.

What to do if my Greentek Fan has poor air flows?
- M
  marynelsonSep 4, 2025
  If your Greentek Fan has poor air flows, several factors could be responsible. Start by cleaning the exterior hoods or vents if the mesh is plugged. Remove and clean the filter and core. Ensure indoor grilles are open and not blocked. An electrician should check the power supply. Inspect duct installation, and have a contractor reconnect ducting if it has fallen down. Adjust the speed control, and have a contractor balance HRV airflows.

Why is the air too humid when using my Greentek Fan?
- Y
  yfoleySep 6, 2025
  Several factors can cause the air to be too humid. The dehumidistat control might be set too high, so reduce the desired humidity level and use continuous exchange mode. A sudden temperature change can also affect humidity, so wait until the outside temperature stabilizes, and consider using heating. Storing too much wood indoors can increase humidity, so store most of your wood outside. Ensure the dryer vent exhausts outside, and improve air circulation near windows by opening curtains or blinds. If you have a well-sealed basement door, open it or install a grill. A failed damper system stuck in recirculation mode can also cause this issue, so check the defrost damper and have a contractor verify the damper system if necessary.
