Heat Recovery Ventilators

[TProGuy]

Just had the building inspector out for our framing/rough in inspection for our basement. We live in a townhouse, and according the inspector, multi-family homes are not required by code to have heat recovery ventilators installed in them. He highly recommended having one installed before we start drywalling the basement, for many good reasons. Do any of you have experience with these systems and what is involved in installing them? How about cost? Thanks!!!

They can be very easily installed on an existing system. Look for it to cost around $1,500.
