We are all being encouraged to reduce energy consumption and make homes more efficient by way of better insulation, draught proofing and double-glazing.
Yet our everyday actions such as opening windows, using kitchen extractor fans, and switching on bathroom extractors dramatically reduce the positive impact of efficiency measures that we put in place. This wasted heat causes us to burn more fossil fuels than we need, contributing to global warming and ozone depletion - the Greenhouse effect. Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery systems provide the ideal ventilation solution. Not only are they energy efficient and highly reliable, they are also surprisingly affordable.
The principles of heat recovery are simple: contaminated stale air is continuously replaced by warmed, fresh, filtered air. Importantly, a highly efficient heat exchanger is used to recover over 98% of the stale air's heat and transfers it to the incoming air.
The end result is a high performance ventilation system that keeps your home supplied with clean, fresh air. Recovering and re-using existing heat also results in cost savings, whilst the fact that trickle vents aren't necessary makes this system particularly suitable where planning regulations don't allow for their use on buildings that have noisy neighbours such as major roads, railways etc.
So, if you would like to lower your carbon footprint, have a constant flow of fresh air, control condensation, increase your security and benefit from less noise then perhaps a heat recovery system is the solution for you.
Benefits
- Reduces your carbon footprint
- Lower heating bills
- Improved energy/SAP rating
- Fresh filtered air circulated throughout
- Unpleasant smells removed
- No need to install noisy extractor fans
- No need to install trickle ventilators
- Reduces condensation and damage from moisture
- Reduces outside noise pollution
- Improved quality of life for asthma, eczema and hay fever sufferers
- Removes airborne dust
- No more draughts
- Improved security (windows can remain closed)
- Summer Operation
In the summer months a bypass system allows fresh, filtered air to be introduced without being heated by the heat exchanger.
