Venmar CES Inc. has advised CSA International that it has announced the following Product Safety Upgrade Program 2008 for certain light commercial heat recovery ventilators that may carry a CSA International certification mark.

Venmar CES Inc.
Product Safety Upgrade Program 2008

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 preventive measure that Venmar CES takes today to ensure that all of its customers have total peace of mind regarding their product safety.

The “Is it my unit?” section provides instructions to help you determine if this Product Safety Upgrade Program applies to your HRV.

The “What to do” section outlines the steps to be followed to improve the safety of a unit covered by this Recall to Repair Program.

The “How to contact us” section is offering you three different options to rapidly communicate with us.

Is it my unit?

Only specific Light Commercial models produced between 1991 and 2007 are affected by this Product Safety Upgrade Program. This preventative measure does not involve HRVs manufactured before 1991 or after 2007, as well as other models not mentioned below.

The program affects select units distributed under the following brand names: Flair, Venmar, vänEE, PrepAir, Carrier, York, Heil, Aston, Broan and Venmate.
