Hi Jarred,

Can you tell us where you are located? Your mention of 'Fahrenheit' rather than 'Celcius' means likely the US, and choosing the right ventilation system would depend a lot on your climate zone. First I would recommend you look over this article about choosing between an HRV and ERV to see which type of unit may best suit your needs. This page about how to keep an HRV operating efficiently may be of value long term as well.
