Panasonic Eco Systems North America has introduced the BalancedHome 210, a new energy recovery ventilator designed for single-family new construction and light commercial applications. The company said the ERV provides balanced ventilation with heat and moisture recovery to support indoor air quality and comfort.
The BalancedHome 210 is engineered for operation in cold northern regions and hot, humid southern states. Panasonic said the model offers a more compact design while retaining smart features, quiet operation and installation features from the BalancedHome line.
The unit reaches 83% Sensible Recovery Efficiency and includes MERV 13 filtration, WiFi connectivity and homeowner controls. It is developed for tight building envelopes and intended for locations such as basements and mechanical rooms, as well as for replacing older heat recovery ventilation installations.
Panasonic said the ERV is designed to meet ASHRAE 62.2 and regional ventilation codes in the U.S., as well as ENERGY STAR program standards in Canada. Installation features include flexible top or side ports, versatile mounting options and easy-access filters. The system can work with WhisperGreen Select and WhisperFresh Select with an optional Wi-Fi module.
“HVAC contractors, builders and electricians are asking for ventilation solutions that help them meet today's strict IAQ and energy code requirements with confidence – and ERV technology plays an essential role in meeting those standards,” said Leon Van Oostende, Group Sales Manager, Panasonic Eco Systems North America. “With flexible installation options, whisper quiet performance and smart connectivity, BalancedHome 210 provides professionals a straightforward path to code compliant, high-quality ventilation while giving families the continuous fresh air they expect from a modern home.”
