Plug & Go 150mm Inline Fan: The Easiest HRV Fan Replacement in NZ

Tired of Paying for a Simple Fan Replacement?

If your HRV or DVS SMARTVENT, MIOSTURE MASTER or any other system has lost its punch — musty smells, condensation on windows, or a fan that's just stopped working — you don't need to call out a ventilation company and pay a call-out fee. With the right inline fan, it's a job most homeowners can handle themselves in under an hour.

The Plug & Go 150mm Inline Fan System was designed exactly for this situation. It's the fastest, most straightforward 150mm fan replacement available in New Zealand.

What Makes It "Plug & Go"?

Traditional inline fan replacements can involve complicated installations. The Plug & Go system eliminates that complexity with a standard plug-in connection — meaning if there's a power outlet or plug already in your roof space (which most HRV and DVS systems have), you simply unplug the old fan, plug in the new one, and connect the ducting.

That's it. No rewiring. No extra parts. No drama.

Is It Right for Your System?

The Plug & Go 150mm Inline Fan is compatible with any system using 150mm round ducting — the most common size used in NZ residential HRV and DVS installations. It's a direct drop-in replacement for fans used in:

• Smartvent systems
• DVS home ventilation
• Moisture master
• Generic HRV setups
• Bathroom and laundry extraction runs
• Any 150mm inline fan application

If you're unsure of your duct size, measure the internal diameter of the duct collar — if it's 150mm, you're good to go.

Why Inline Fans Beat Grille-Mounted Fans

Inline fans sit inside the ductwork, away from the living space. This means:

• Quieter operation — the fan noise stays in the roof, not in your room
• Better airflow — inline fans are more efficient at moving air over longer duct runs
• Longer life — protected from dust and moisture at the grille end

For whole-home ventilation, an inline fan is almost always the better choice over a grille-mounted unit.

The Motor Make Matters

Not all  fans are created equal — and the motor is where the difference really shows. A quality motor runs cooler, quieter, and lasts significantly longer than a budget alternative. When evaluating any fan, always check who made the motor. The best in the business is ebm-papst, the world's leading fan and motor manufacturer, trusted by premium brands globally for their efficiency, low noise, and exceptional longevity.

Installation in 4 Simple Steps

3. Connect the new Plug & Go fan to the ducting — inlet and outlet both 150mm
4. Hang the Plug & Go using the attached military grade webbing with cam-buckle, run the long end around the roof framing & secure it with the cam-buckle.
5. Plug in and test — you should feel airflow at the outlet grille within seconds
6.  pull new interconnect cable down the wall to the controller using old comm's cable.
7. Install thermostat , pull an extra 2 meters of interconnect cable down the wall then return the thermostat up the wall.
