What customers say
The FAV-6 Fresh Air Intake System by Field Controls consistently receives strong positive sentiment, particularly from HVAC professionals and homeowners prioritizing code-compliant, controlled ventilation. Customers frequently praise the system's robust reliability and the effectiveness of the integrated control and motorized damper mechanism. The ability to precisely manage the amount of fresh air entering the home is a significant advantage, helping to maintain proper indoor air quality (IAQ) and prevent negative pressure issues common in modern, tightly sealed construction. Reviewers appreciate that the FAV-6 simplifies compliance with stringent standards like ASHRAE 62.2, making installation straightforward for experienced technicians who value the all-in-one design. The build quality is consistently rated highly, suggesting durability and long-term performance with minimal maintenance required. While the core functionality is excellent, minor friction points occasionally arise; non-professional users sometimes find the wiring and integration instructions complex, underscoring that this is primarily a professional-grade component. Furthermore, as the system relies on the main HVAC blower, some users note potential energy consumption concerns if the system is set to run for extended periods, though these concerns are generally outweighed by the benefits of controlled, healthy ventilation. Overall, the FAV-6 is viewed as a premium, high-performing solution that delivers excellent results and peace of mind when installed correctly.
