AVS ERV CONSTRUCTO 2.0 QUATTRO Part #45115 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE Venmar AVS ERV Constructo Quattro modular design makes it possible to remove all mechanical parts in less than 5
minutes. (to help the service companies quickly remove the guts and sell you and entire fan assembly rather than enable them
to fix the motor. The motor is not easily removable from the fan assembly.) The low power consumption PSC motor is permanently
lubricated (when the lubricant fails, it simply seizes up. Low power in this context just means small, not efficient - PCS
motors are wasteful). Even better, the entire motor sub-assembly can be removed in less than a minute for easier maintenance.
(this is true). WARRANTY The Venmar AVS ERV Constructo Quattro is protected by a 2-year warranty on parts only. (fans only
last two years which is why we only give two years). The energy recovery core is covered by a 5-year warranty. Venmar Ventilation Inc. Recalls Heat Recovery Ventilators Due to Fire
