Smart Home Ventilation Nerd Out: BROAN AI Series ERV/HRV for HVAC Perfectionists
Corbett Lunsford
**CHAPTER TIMES BELOW** Recently Broan released its AI Series equalizing ventilators, and they are frankly the best thing going for quality at a reasonable cost. They're also complex enough that it bears making a 26 minute video explaining the configuration options, so don't take this piece of HVAC equipment lightly. It DOES make a big piece of the puzzle MUCH easier, by testing itself 2X/second. A new day for 'simpler' HVAC that's actually pretty complex.
