I have an ERV driven by a relay controlled by an Air Cycler.

I recently installed a Thermo Pride O6 furnace. The O6 has 120 VAC output to control EAC. Can I plug my ERV directly into this outlet instead of going through a relay?

Update with additional info:

Right now I have 2 Air Cyclers (one for each zone), that control 2 relays connected in OR configuration that in turn drive the remote controller of my ERV.

My problems are:

We do not use Air Cyclers during spring/summer/fall when we live with open windows but we still want air exchange during days when we run A/C.
My connection to ERV is clanky in several respects. It will be really nice to plug my ERV directly into my furnace and let it run as long as the heating/cooling fan is running.

My main question is does the EAC output provide enough power for a 0.25 HP motor in my ERV?

Does the AirCycler control have control over the air-handler/furnace blower fan as of right now? – ThreePhaseEel May 14 '23 at 14:13
