Do I need ceiling fans if I have an HRV?

S McIntyre April 2, 2019, 10:01 p.m.

I have high ceilings.  Will be adding an addition this summer with normal height ceilings and new stairwell to basement. Should I arrange for a ceiling fan in the older part with high ceilings or will it be redundant with HRV connected throughout?
