Heat Recovery Ventilation

As you seal and insulate your home, the indoor air quality (IAQ) in your home deteriorates.

A constant cocktail of chemicals is emitted from curtains, sofas, laminates, cleaning detergents etc and you’ll be surprised to know that the air inside your home can have more pollutants in it than the air next to a busy road!

Humidity and mould growth increases as well, all of which not only cause health issues for Asthma and allergy sufferers, but they can also damage the building fabric leading to expensive decoration costs and lower market value.

Why is heat recovery ventilation (HRV) good?

Heat Recovery Ventilation is a system that facilitates a whole house air change every two hours without losing heat. It works by taking stale, polluted, moisture laden air from kitchens and bathrooms via ductwork and ceiling terminals and replacing it into living and bedrooms with fresh, filtered air from outside.

Up to 95% of the outgoing air’s heat is recovered via a heat exchanger within the unit and transferred to the fresh incoming air. This heat recovery means you could expect a reduction in heating bills by about a third! This is possible because you don’t necessarily leave windows open and of course you don’t need draughty trickle-vents or noisy extractor fans that just lose you heat!

In summer, the heat exchanger within the unit can be bypassed, to just bring in fresh air into the house and you can enjoy feeling cooler air which has been dehumidified. You breathe 10,000 litres of air a day into your lungs and you spend 70% of your time at home. Don’t you deserve the cleanest air? Contact us now and send floorplans for a quote.
