Panasonic FV-21VEC1S BalancedHome 210 Elite Plus+ Side-Port ERV | FV21VEC1S

Panasonic FV-21VEC1S BalancedHome 210 Elite Plus+ Energy Recovery Ventilator

The Panasonic FV-21VEC1S is a BalancedHome 210 Elite Plus+ energy recovery ventilator for residential balanced ventilation projects. This side-port ERV is intended for HVAC dealers, contractors, builders, and integrators specifying a Panasonic ERV with adjustable supply and exhaust airflow from 40 to 210 CFM.

Key Benefits

• Balanced ventilation: Provides tempered supply air while exhausting stale indoor air.
• Adjustable airflow: Independent supply and exhaust settings from 40 to 210 CFM.
• Side-port configuration: Uses four horizontally oriented 6-inch ducts for supply, exhaust, room air, and room return air.
• ECM motor design: Two DC-enclosed ECM brushless motors are rated for continuous run.
• Filtration included: Includes MERV 13 filter FV-FL1321VE1; washable MERV 6 replacement option FV-FL0621VE1 is available.
• Code-support features: Built-in ASHRAE 62.2 timing function and fault indication support professional ventilation compliance work.

Dealer / B2B Use Case

Use the FV-21VEC1S for single-family residential ventilation projects where a higher-capacity Panasonic BalancedHome Elite Plus+ ERV is required and a horizontal side-port layout fits the mechanical design. It is suitable for dealer quoting, HVAC specification, builder packages, and code-driven ventilation upgrades where confirmed airflow, duct routing, controls, and regional compliance requirements must be reviewed before purchase.
