STREAMLINE MULTI-FAMILY PROJECTS FOR CONTRACTORS WITH EASY-TO-INSTALL RENEWAIRE ERVs

Key points:

• RenewAire ERVs are incredibly easy to install in multi-family buildings.
• Contractors can benefit from RenewAire ERVs’ simple installation process by saving time and money on multi-family projects.
• Ultimately, using RenewAire ERVs in multi-family buildings maximizes simplicity and profitability for contractors.

In multi-family buildings, where indoor air quality (IAQ), energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount concerns, utilizing energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) is the ideal choice for contractors. Among the many solutions available, RenewAire ERVs stand out not only for their superior performance, but also for their unparalleled ease of installation. In this article, we delve into why RenewAire ERVs are so easy to install and how this offers substantial benefits for contractors working on multi-family buildings.

This blog post is the third in a series on why ERVs are the best ventilation solution for contractors in multi-family buildings. And don’t miss our other posts from this series: Maximizing Multi-Family Growth: How Contractors Can Harness ERVs for Enhanced IAQ and Energy Efficiency and Unlocking Savings: The Cost Benefits of ERVs in Multi-Family Buildings for Contractors.

Why Should Contractors Use ERVs in Multi-Family Buildings?

Before diving into the ease of installation of RenewAire ERVs, it is crucial to understand why ERVs are indispensable for contractors in multi-family settings. Enhanced IAQ, energy efficiency and cost savings are the trifecta driving the adoption of ERVs. This is especially true as structures become tighter, thus locking in indoor air contaminants and causing deficient IAQ. How can IAQ be improved energy-efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably in multi-family settings?

The best way to solve this problem is through ERVs. By exchanging equal parts of stale indoor air with fresh and filtered outdoor air, ERVs provide balanced ventilation. Simultaneously, otherwise-wasted energy is recovered from the exhaust air and used to precondition the outdoor air coming inside. This process enables ERVs to provide cleaner and healthier indoor air, create a comfortable indoor environment, reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs.

RenewAire ERVs Are Easy to Install

For those not familiar with ERVs, one of the most common questions we hear is, “How complicated will it be to install?” Fortunately, by using RenewAire ERVs in multi-family projects, contractors can benefit from an exceptionally easy installation experience:

• Tremendous Flexibility: RenewAire ERVs can be mounted in multiple orientations. They can be suspended from floor joists or mounted on a wall or other object. Further, the room air (RA)/exhaust air (EA) airstream can be switched with the outside air (OA)/fresh air (FA) airstream. This flexibility empowers contractors to adapt to any project requirements seamlessly and cost-effectively.
• Compact Design: RenewAire ERVs are designed to be compact, making them easier to handle and install in various types of spaces compared to other solutions. For contractors, this means that successful installations can be achieved despite the limited space available.
• Less Equipment Needed: RenewAire ERVs provide a single exhaust point, which means less equipment is required to purchase and install. For example, there is no need for individual bath fans.
• Minimal Ductwork Modifications: RenewAire ERVs are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing HVAC ductwork, often requiring minimal modifications for installation.
• No Drain Pans: RenewAire ERVs do not require drain pans, which makes them a breeze to install. By comparison, heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) do require drain pans, which can complicate the installation process.
• User-Friendly Solutions: RenewAire ERVs feature an intuitive design that streamlines the installation process. Contractors can easily maneuver and position the components, reducing installation time and effort.
• Simple Controls: Equipped with easy-to-use controls and interfaces, RenewAire ERVs are straightforward to set up and operate. Contractors can swiftly configure the units according to the multi-family building’s ventilation needs, eliminating complexities associated with commissioning.
• Fewer Workers Required: Because RenewAire ERVs are so simple to work with, installations can generally be accomplished by a single person.
• Comprehensive Documentation and Support: RenewAire provides contractors with comprehensive assistance at every stage of the installation process. This includes detailed installation manuals as well as online resources and technical support. As such, this ensures smooth execution and minimizes the likelihood of errors or setbacks.

How Multi-Family Contractors Can Benefit from Easy-to-Install RenewAire ERVs

Because RenewAire ERVs are so easy to install, contractors can benefit significantly, particularly in multi-family projects. The advantages for contractors include:

• Time Savings: The ease of installation of RenewAire ERVs translates to reduced work, allowing contractors to save time and maximize productivity.
• Improved Finances: With quicker installations, contractors can save on labor costs, making RenewAire ERVs a financially attractive option. Additionally, by completing projects faster, contractors can move on to the next project and boost the bottom line.
• Smoother Project Execution: The simplified installation process of RenewAire ERVs means less room for errors or complications, leading to smoother projects. Further, the minimal ductwork modifications required for RenewAire ERVs facilitates seamless integration into existing HVAC systems, minimizing effort during installation.
• Adaptability: RenewAire ERVs offer flexibility in mounting options and airflow configurations, enabling contractors to adapt to various project requirements easily.
• Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Efficient installation of RenewAire ERVs can lead to quicker project completion, improving overall customer satisfaction with the contractor’s services.
• Professional Reputation: Contractors who offer easy-to-install and dependable solutions like RenewAire ERVs may enhance their reputation for reliability and efficiency in the industry.
• Training Efficiency: With straightforward installation procedures, contractors can train their teams more efficiently, ensuring competence and consistency in installations across projects.
