Hi Barb,

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the hookup I used on the fresh air

intake. My Plumber charged $19.95 at the time and it consisted of

nothing more than a damper and a screened intake to keep mice out.

I did a search and here is the link for the company:

We had used flexible insulated hose to hook up. Insulated is very

important because in our neck of the woods, the very cold tempatures

will frost up any uninsulated line and then drip moisture when it

melts.

The damper will stop air from coming in when your furnace fan is

off, plus you can adjust the flow of incoming air. I ran ours wide

open and left our furnace fan on 100% of the time. We did turn up

our thermostat a bit for the cooler feel which could have been

merely from lower humidity levels. When the furnace is off and the

fan running, the air was not super cold because there still is a lot

of inside air mixed in from the return.
