Optimize Panasonic FV-06VE1 WhisperComfort 60 Spot ERV (20–50 CFM, 60 CFM Boost)
Bring in fresh, filtered air without a big energy penalty. The Panasonic FV-06VE1 WhisperComfort 60 is a compact, ceiling- or wall-mount spot ERV that tempers incoming air while exhausting stale air to help maintain neutral pressure and better indoor air quality. Dual DC motors and a high-efficiency capillary core deliver balanced ventilation with selectable 20/30/40/50 CFM and an occupant-boost to 60 CFM when you need it. A MERV 13 filter is included to capture fine particles, and static pressure ports make airflow verification straightforward for code compliance. Ideal for tight homes, additions, and energy-efficient projects that need continuous, quiet fresh air.

Save Energy & Stay Comfortable
Panasonic’s capillary ERV core transfers heat and moisture between outgoing and incoming airstreams to temper fresh air and reduce conditioning load. In heating, the unit delivers 70% Sensible Recovery Efficiency at 32°F (20 CFM), while in cooling it achieves 60% Total Recovery Efficiency at 95°F (27 CFM). That translates into fresher air with less strain on your HVAC system.
Everyday Performance You Can Feel
Dial in balanced ventilation with independent supply and exhaust selectors (20/30/40/50 CFM), then tap the occupant boost when activity spikes to move 60 CFM. Verified sound levels are as low as 2.5 sones at 60 CFM, keeping operation quiet enough for living areas, hallways, and utility spaces.
Durable Materials, Easier Care
A corrosion-resistant galvanized steel housing stands up to years of continuous duty, while the polypropylene grille secures with torsion springs for quick removal. Filters on both supply and exhaust airstreams help protect the ERV core, and a MERV 13 filter is included so you start with high capture efficiency from day one.
Installer-Friendly Design
Mount to the ceiling or wall and choose the duct size that fits your layout—standard 4" ports with 5" connections available. Built-in static pressure ports simplify airflow verification for ASHRAE 62.2, and the expandable bracket reaches up to 16" on center for flexible framing. Note: WhisperComfort 60 is not for use in a bathroom.
Sized Right For Tight Spaces
The low-profile body (about 6-5/8" high) tucks neatly above ceilings or on walls where space is limited. With overall dimensions around 23-5/8" × 20-1/2", it’s compact enough for retrofits yet robust enough to serve small zones in high-performance homes. Refer to the submittal drawing for precise clearances and mounting points.
Smart Protection In All Seasons
A frost-prevention mode automatically closes the supply damper when outdoor temperatures drop below 14°F (-10°C), helping prevent core freezing—no user intervention required. That means dependable operation through winter cold snaps without manual adjustments.
Codes, Accessories & Compliance
HVI-certified for energy recovery and sound, the FV-06VE1 can support compliance with ASHRAE 62.2 and state energy codes like California Title-24 and Washington Energy Code credits when properly designed and installed. An optional WhisperVent™ exterior wall cap (FV-WC10VE1) manages both intake and exhaust through a single penetration to streamline installs.
