Abstract
An energy recovery system includes a heating or cooling system and an accessory operably connected to the heating or cooling system, or to a component of the heating or cooling system. One or more accessory interlocking mechanisms are located at the housing interlocked with one or more complementary interlocking mechanisms located at the system or the component of the heating or cooling system to secure the accessory directly to the component. A method of securing an accessory to a heating or cooling system or a component of a heating or cooling system includes aligning one or more accessory interlocking mechanisms with one or more interlocking mechanisms. The accessory is urged toward an installed position by moving the accessory along a length of the one or more complementary interlocking mechanisms. The one or more accessory interlocking mechanisms are interlocked with the complementary interlocking mechanisms to secure the accessory.
