I am in the planning stage of putting in a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) in a two-story colonial with basement. I have central air located in the basement with a full set of supply and return ducts in every room (except none in the unfinished basement, and no return ducts in the two bathrooms...

I am remodeling my basement and am frustratingly (is that a word?) going through the building permit process.
