Unhealthy indoor air can lead to sickness and allergy hypersensitivity. If you’re considering having your home ventilated for all-year round humidity control to reduce mould, bacteria, dust, and other unwelcome substances, you might want to look into energy recovery ventilators (ERV) and heat recovery ventilators (HRV) for optimal results. Energy and heat recovery ventilators are designed to maintain clean air in your home by transferring unhealthy indoor air with clean, ventilated outdoor air. All houses need ventilation for adequate indoor air quality. Utilising ERVs and HRVs provide quality air solutions to residential homes. Heat and energy recovery ventilators are designed to maintain the quality of air in your home and to do it without you even noticing. They reduce temperature and humidity within the walls of the home to provide you with clean and comfortable air for a healthier lifestyle. At Recovery Vent, we believe every home should have an ERV/HRV and you can find out ...

What is Commercial Ventilation?

Image
Having sufficient airflow in a commercial space is vital for keeping the people in that space healthy. In cooler climates where windows are kept closed most of the year, commercial ventilation is especially important to maintain this airflow. What commercial ventilation does Sound industrial building ventilation systems will provide better indoor air quality in your building. Commercial spaces are particularly prone to having a buildup of potentially harmful airborne chemicals known as VOCs or volatile organic compounds. VOCs are all the compounds produced by carpet, paint, photocopiers, printers, cleaning supplies, and computers. The only way VOCs can escape the building is through an open window or a ventilation system. Modern commercial buildings are built to be airtight. This is fantastic for energy efficiency purposes, but without a balanced commercial ventilation system, the building will not have fresh air. Having consistent airflow also means that humidity will be c...

Improving Your Indoor Air Quality – Recovery Ventilation

Image
Having the best indoor air quality that you can get is paramount to your health and wellbeing. You could be unwittingly generating air pollution in your home and not even know it but can still make things better by improving your indoor air quality.    People usually picture pollution as a dark and smoggy cloud that’s formed by industries, cars, and everything else that’s destroying our ozone layer. Outdoor pollution is definitely a problem but, in some cases, the air inside your home can be even worse! If you’ve ever had a dry throat or a cough, or sometimes feel a little short of breath or even have a wheezy chest, these could be signs of indoor air pollution. Even something as simple as an itchy nose can signify some sort of pollutant! The Benefits of Having Improved Air Quality One of the most important things that you can do at home is to keep your home aired out. This could be as simple as keeping your windows open, filtering the air inside your home with an air condi...

What is an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator)

Image
What is an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) We have an expectation of its existence but never speak of its name. Can you guess what it is… it creates clean, fresh air in our home. It’s an Energy Recovery Ventilator and it helps to provide a house with fresh air, manage humidity levels and air temperature. Energy Recovery Ventilators are becoming more common because new buildings are becoming more airtight. Air Highway Firstly, the ventilator is like a highway so that fresh air from outside can travel inside and the current air in the house can escape. Regulates Temperature As you can imagine, there would be a temperature difference between fresh air from outside and the current air within the home so the ERV unit either pre heats or cools the air so that the house occupants can receive the fresh air while maintaining the current home temperature. Humidity The ERV also has a heat exchanger that helps to remove any humidity. So what you end up with is good air circulation...
