It’s hard to ignore. We’re spending more and more time in our homes. They used to be places to eat, sleep, and relax, but they’re increasingly becoming places where we work, and even exercise.
How comfortable we feel when we’re indoors mostly comes down to the temperature. However, humidity and air quality also play a large role. Nobody likes to feel stuffy in their own home, and fresh air keeps us comfy, healthy, and productive.
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems ventilate your home and control your indoor climate. And they do so whilst reducing your heating costs. If you want your household to enjoy that fresh air feeling without having to crack open a window - MVHR is for you.
MVHR's are also a popular way to meet building regulations for new homes. Though they can be retrofitted into older properties, good draught proofing and insulation is required.
Heat recovery systems are an increasingly popular way to achieve a constant circulation of fresh, filtered air. The systems offer many benefits, including:
Heat recovery systems extract hot and moist air from bathrooms, kitchens, and toilets. Once extracted, the air is passed through an exchanger, where the heat is transferred into new, fresh air from outdoors.
The new oxygen filled air is then gently distributed throughout the home via a network of discreet vents. The old, stale air is removed to the outdoors. The result is a healthy, fresh, environment of filtered, recycled air.
Heat recovery systems are low maintenance in all aspects. Once your preferred settings have been chosen they operate autonomously. In terms of maintenance, they require a filter change once or twice per year, depending on usage.
It is still recommended to get your heat recovery system serviced annually. This extends the systems life-span, and keeps intact your manufacturers warranty.
