HRV's come with a control unit that allows you to adjust the fan speed. And don't forget that you may have a .25 ACH turn around but you are only loosing 40% of that heat if your unit is 6% efficient.

I have seen so many people in even leaky old houses get HRV's and say that they don't know how they ever lived without them that I can't ignore their benefits.
