DRUMMONDVILLE, QC, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Venmar Ventilation is voluntarily and immediately implementing a Safety Upgrade Program for certain Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV's) that it manufactures. Venmar is asking owners of Heat Recovery Ventilators that are covered by this program to immediately turn their unit off and unplug it, and contact them as soon as possible by phone at 1 866-441-4645, by visiting our website at www.venmar.ca, or by mail at SUP, 550 Lemire blvd, Drummondville, QC J2C 7W9 CANADA. It has come to Venmar's attention that an unlikely series of circumstances could lead to a motor overheating in certain HRV models, that may result in a potential fire hazard. These units fully comply with all applicable CSA, UL, and other standards. They are already protected by circuit protection under the National Electric Code, all local Electrical Codes and by thermal protectors in the motors. Venmar will provide an additional safety upgrade device free of charge. Only certain models produced between 1991 and 2001 are affected. This preventive measure does not involve HRV's manufactured before 1991 and after 2001, as well as all other models not mentioned below. The Program affects selected units distributed under the names: Venmar, Venmar AVS, Flair, vanEE, Sears and Guardian by Broan Heat Recovery Ventilators sold in North-America. This program covers units with the following model numbers only. This model number is located on a silver or a black label positioned on the outside panel of the unit.
