Why does my Lifebreath Air Cleaner have poor airflow?
- CCynthia KellyAug 15, 2025
Poor airflow in your Lifebreath Air Cleaner can stem from several causes. The 1/4 inch mesh on the outside hood could be plugged, so cleaning the exterior hoods or vents is recommended. Also, check if the filters are plugged and remove and clean them if necessary. The core could be obstructed, requiring removal and cleaning. Ensure house grilles are open and not blocked, and that any installed dampers are open and adjusted correctly. A poor power supply may be the issue, necessitating an electrician to check the supply voltage. Restricted ductwork or an improper speed control setting could also be to blame; check the duct installation and increase the HRV speed accordingly. Finally, the HRV airflow might be improperly balanced, requiring a contractor to balance it.
