I looked at the fasco a136. The Emerson k33hxcfe-194 has 3 inch inlet and outlet ports while the fasco has 2/1.8 inch ports, so adaptors would need to be used, which is no big deal. There is no drain port on the fasco, so a drain would need to be installed in the line. The spec's are the same, so if you were really determined the fasco could be used.

Fasco A136 Draft Inducer Motor should work.

I have a clare furnace. The draft inducer is a Emerson model k33hxcfe-964. It is on it's last legs and i have been looking for a replacement. Has anyone been able to find a replacement for this inducer. I have looked for one on the internet, but don't see much available.  Has anyone been down this road? Can you get a replacement Emerson motor and change it and reuse the assembly. Any other options? Thanks.

The new B149.1-25 and B149.2-25 should be adopted in Ontario sometime in 2026.

Thank you so much!

You have to use the mechanical timer wiring.

See the attached picture.  Install the jumper between ON and RED.  Then wire the Ecobee ACC wires to HI and ON.  The HRV will run in high speed when it's turned on.  You could also use low speed instead.  Just connect the ACC wire to LOW instead of HI.  The Ecobee can only control one speed and not both.

Attached is how it's wired. It's a healthy climate erv 150.

What are the terminals your ERV is using now or what is the ERV model number?

my home came with an erv and I'm trying to figure out how to wire it to my ecobee to replace the standard wall controller. The wall controller is 3 wires but the ecobee only take acc plus and minus. I tried do that and the erv doesn't come on. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would start by checking to see if there is 24V coming from the board and 24V going to the damper motor.

Just checked and have 28v coming off the board and 28v at the harness at the motor.

Twice when testing, when I had unplugged and plugged in the motor the HRV kicked on and was running for a minute then stopped and went back to flashing amber light.

Not sure if the damper was working when the unit came up but I had fan speed control with the button on the unit itself.
