Heat Recovery Ventilation
Unless your home already has whole house ventilation, you probably suffer from a degree of condensation and stuffiness in autumn and winter.
The Regavent heat recovery ventilation system, (which is fully compliant with Building Regulations), continually extracts stale, moist air from bathrooms, kitchens etc., while at the same time introducing an equivalent volume of pre heated clean, filtered fresh air into the living and bedroom areas.
The following pages will illustrate the problems encountered by home owners and builders with regard to poor ventilation in modern homes, and explain one of the most cost and energy efficient solutions - an Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system.
Thermsaver's Regavent Heat Recovery Ventilation system is a clear - and comprehensive - answer to keeping your home virtually condensation free while maintaining a cleaner, fresher and healthier environment.
The heat recovery ventilation system is designed and manufactured in the UK, which means that it is ideally suited to the demands of our climate.
When we constructed our new purpose built offices in Uddingston near Glasgow, we fitted the Regavent heat recovery ventilation system in order to show clients the benefits of the system and feel the clean, fresh environment.
In addition to the design and supply of the Regavent Heat Recovery Ventilation system, we can also provide a fully installed package anywhere in the UK.
We can also offer advice to the self builder on heating systems and controls - all we require is a set of drawings.
Today's modern housing has, quite rightly, concentrated on the various sources of heat loss from the home, by introducing better insulation, (cavity wall and loft), double glazing and draught proofing.
Cosiness, however, has brought other problems to our homes. Reduced ventilation means the internal airflow is negligible, allowing the build up of water vapour and stale air from sources such as bathing and cooking.
The Problems
The average family home has around two gallons of water vapour released into the atmosphere every day.
That's about the same as pouring a two gallon watering can over the carpets and walls throughout the house.
The most obvious effect is that moisture appears on the windows, causing them to mist up. But moisture also condenses on masonry and timber as well.
This is definitely harmful - and can lead to telltale signs such as peeling wallpaper, and the growth of black mould followed ultimately by damage to timber caused by dry or wet rot.
Poorly ventilated homes are also generally stale, musty and stuffy, and cooking smells, pet smells, tobacco smoke and toilet odours linger in the air.
The Solution
You could leave a window open, or use a standard extraction fan, but what about draughts and heat loss, or you could control any or all of those problems with a Regavent Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system from Thermsaver.
This system extracts stale, damp air from your home and supplies clean fresh air where you need it, while also recovering in excess of 75% of heat from the outgoing airflow.
The 'How It Works' page shows the extraction and supply ducts, and the loft mounted heat exchanger, which make up the HRV system. Quiet in operation, this system works economically in the background removing stale, damp air, replacing it with filtered clean, warm air.
The HRV system also offers major benefits to asthma and hay fever sufferers - research shows that HRV systems provide a low cost, effective method of killing the dust mite and preventing re-infestation. Smells, smoke and harmful gases are removed, and pre-heated clean filtered fresh air is introduced.
