Panasonic PA-FV-06VE1 Energy Recovery Ventilator 60 Cfm

Product Description

The PANASONIC PA-FV-06VE1 is a WhisperComfort 60 Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) designed for ceiling-recessed or wall-mount installation in residential applications. It delivers a balanced exchange of fresh supply air and exhaust air at up to 60 CFM, helping maintain neutral pressure throughout the living space. The unit runs on 120 volts at 60 Hz and uses a sirocco blower wheel paired with a ball-bearing condenser motor for quiet, reliable operation. Built from galvanized steel and UL Listed, this ERV is Energy Star qualified and includes thermal fuse protection for added safety.

This ventilator is suited for residential whole-home ventilation where balanced airflow and energy recovery are required. It connects to 4-inch duct and fits a 10.25-inch mounting opening with a 13-inch grille, making it compatible with both new construction and retrofit ceiling or wall installations. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors typically specify this unit in tight-construction homes where controlled fresh air introduction is required to meet indoor air quality standards.
