Product Safety Upgrade Program

It has come to the attention of Venmar CES that an unlikely series of circumstances could lead to a motor overheating in specific Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) light commercial models that may result in a potential fire hazard. These units fully comply with all applicable UL and CSA standards. They are already safeguarded by circuit protection under the National Electric Code and by thermal protectors in the motors. Venmar CES will arrange for a qualified field technician to upgrade the units at no charge for the customer.

The Product Safety Upgrade Program is a preventative measure that Venmar CES takes today to ensure that all of its customers have total peace of mind regarding their product safety.

A listing of the units covered by this Product Safety Upgrade Program is below to help you determine if the program applies to your HRV.

Follow the below procedure if you have a unit that is included in the list of products affected by the program:

1. Immediately turn the unit off and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Contact Venmar CES using one of the methods listed on the right to validate if your unit is included in the Product Safety Upgrade Program. Please include the information regarding your unit (model and serial numbers), as well as your complete contact information (name, address, phone number). We will contact you as soon as possible.
