Heat Recovery Ventilation

The benefits of Heat recovery Ventilation ...

Benefit financially

Heat Recovery Ventilation is an investment in health and money savings.
Heat recovery ventilation is the process of exchanging air inside a building with the outside, where heat is recovered from the extracted air. In this way, even on the coldest days, the fresh air supplied to the interior is already heated, resulting in significant energy savings.

Peace of mind

The heat recovery ventilation system ensures a constant supply of fresh air while filtering it of pollutants, pollen and even viruses and bacteria, which is particularly important for allergy sufferers and asthmatics.
Once the system has been installed by us we arrange an Air Tightness Test by an independent company to ensure your home is airtight to the highest standards.

More home comforts

With Heat recovery Ventilation, you can maintain a constant room temperature, eliminating the problem of draughts or cold air coming in from outside.

A greener home

Heat Recovery Ventilation systems contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions due to lower energy consumption for heating, making them environmentally friendly.

HRV or a heat recovery ventilation system remove odour and humid air from kitchens and bathrooms. The same volume of clean, preheated air is supplied to bedrooms and living rooms. As much as 95% of the normally wasted heat is being recovered. Since the energy of the extracted air is transferred to the fresh. This means maximising energy for minimum cost. The filtered and, consequently, cleaner air increases the comfort for you and your family.

How Does Heat Recovery Ventilation Work

1. Heat recovery ventilation systems are designed to recover up to 95% of the heat normally lost through open windows, vents and other breakout points.

2. Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems work on the principle of balance. They use fans to draw in outdoor air and extract indoor air, ensuring your home maintains a stable air pressure.

3. As fresh outdoor air enters the HRV unit, it passes through a heat exchanger. This exchanger captures the heat from the outgoing indoor air and transfers it to the incoming outdoor air. During winter, this means you get warm, fresh air without losing the heat you've generated indoors.

4. Air from wet rooms like bathrooms is continuously extracted and filtered back through the heat recovery ventilation unit (called enthalpy exchange). They capture moisture from the outgoing indoor air during the winter and transfer it to the incoming, drier outdoor air. The Unit reverses the process in summer, removing excess moisture from the outdoor air before it enters your home. This makes sure that your home stays within a comfortable and healthy range and prevents cold and condensation.

5. Heat recovery ventilators continuously repeat this cycle, ensuring your indoor air remains fresh, comfortable and of high quality.

Air Tightness Testing

Building Regulations in Ireland since January 2008, air tightness testing is mandatory for all dwellings

An air tightness test is used to determine air flow output in a home

If there is a lot of air flow output this results in a loss of heat in a home.

Air tightness testing helps to show compliance with current building regulations
