Why Ventilation?

Healthy Living

Did you know that pollen and other pollutants penetrate your home through passive ventilation openings? This can compromise your health and increase allergies, asthma, and even airborne viruses. Good ventilation is a common feature in the home environment in Europe and America, whereas, in the UK, we’ve been slow to catch up. Ventilation is now one of the most important considerations for you and your home’s health. The one thing we’ve learnt in recent years is the importance of protecting your health.

Damp & Mould

A lack of ventilation in the home often leads to the manifestation of damp and mouldy wall and ceiling surfaces. Just the tiniest bit of mould formation can be dangerous to respiratory systems and it’s a tell-tale sign that your home is poorly ventilated. Simply cleaning mould from walls or painting over it doesn’t address the reasons for it forming in the first place and generally, mould will begin to multiply and become more dangerous. It’s important to contact a ventilation specialist like ThermoHome, who can help you banish damp and mould for good!

Building Fabric

The external walls and roof of your property are known as the building envelope, the structural layer that segregates inside from outside. When the building fabric isn’t maintained, it can suffer structural defect leading to potentially expensive remedial works. Often, damage to the building fabric is cause from excess damp and condensation that manifest from within the property through poor ventilation. To protect the building fabric, it needs to be kept free from surface and interstitial condensation. Ventilation can help to reduce the risk of condensation.

Resale Value

If you eventually come to sell your property, maintaining its integrity is vital to achieving a fast sale at the market price. Any signs of damp, mould and structural defects can not only put off prospective buyers but also be flagged up on surveyor’s report. This can cause property sales to fall through or affect property value. Implementing a robust ventilation strategy before problems arise is a prudent way to maintain the structural integrity of the property, whilst avoiding the issues that may become costly further down the line.

Sectors We Cover

Residential Homes

Older homes usually have natural ventilation ranging from cavity walls to open eaves in loft spaces. As the drive to insulate our homes to a better standard gathers momentum, this can limit natural airflow within the home. Offsetting better insulation with heat recovery ventilation systems can help reduce dampness and mould whilst enabling occupants to live comfortably. Our single-room heat recovery units remove moist and stale air from the home whilst adding fresh, filtered, and heat-recovered air to ensure you don’t lose unnecessary heat. Our Heat Recovery units replace traditional bathroom extraction fans or can be installed in any room to tackle the impacts of dampness and mould.

New Build Houses

New-build homes must comply with Part F of the Building Regulations. This requires extract ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens and other “wet zones.” In addition, trickle vents in windows are recommended. Choosing a ventilation strategy that enables heat recovery is essential to ensure energy is not lost through passive vents. Our single room and MVHR heat recovery solutions are perfect for achieving compliance with Building Regulations whilst ensuring that internal heated air is not lost through vents. We design, supply, and fit our range of ventilation systems throughout the Southwest of England.

Landlord/Tenant Homes

If you are a landlord and rent your property to tenants, you’ll have a little overview as to the condition of home whilst a tenancy agreement is in place. In your own home you can react fast to damp and mould issues, counteracting with enhanced ventilation whereas often, tenanted properties aren’t necessarily maintained to such levels. To combat the issue of tenants not ventilating the property adequately, our heat recovery ventilators work automatically in the background. Through WIFI monitoring, you can keep abreast of the humidity and vapour readings within your property to ensure that the environments in which damp and mould thrive, are kept at bay.

Our Products

Awenta Single Room AHR

The Awenta AHR is a single room heat recovery ventilator that has in-built humidity sensors that prompt the system to autonomously extract moist air from within the property. Unlike many other single-room ventilation systems, the Awenta AHR only opens to release stale air when it needs to. The heat recovery element extracts heat as air passes through it and then the system runs in reverse to draw in fresh, filtered and heat recovered air. This is an incredibly efficient way to ventilate the home and it ensures that the heated interior does not suffer from unnecessary heat loss. The Awenta AHR can also be connected throughout the home to multiple devices for a whole house ventilation approach. The data is populated into App technology for analysis.

Awenta Auros MVHR

The Awenta Auros MVHR system is designed for use in new-build homes as a whole house ventilation strategy. With a capacity to cover up to 600 cubic metres of living space, the Awenta Auros is robust, durable and operates silently and autonomously to ensure that moisture, humidity, and temperature equilibrium is maintained within the home for health living. A premium option for homeowners looking for a good quality MVHR, the Auros offers up to 95% heat exchange efficiency and can be monitored and controlled via wireless smartphone application. The purpose of the MVHR is to remove moist and humid air from wet zones such as bathrooms, recovering the heat to deliver fresh, filtered air into other rooms.

Awenta Aquila MVHR

The Awenta Aquila is smaller wall or roof mounted MVHR system that fits a more economical price budget whilst delivering whole house ventilation. With many of the features of the Auros model, the Aquila is robust system that can be used in smaller homes of up to 300 cubic metres in volume. Offering up to 95% heat exchange efficiency and with summertime by-pass, remote monitoring and humidity sensors, the Aquila is comparable to most entry-level MVHR systems in the UK. The Aquila can be used for new-build homes or as a retrofit option into existing homes, however, we would recommend the Awenta single-room AHR with multi-room option if you’re looking to retrofit. The associated ducting required for MVHR systems can often require serious remodelling of the homes décor!

Solar Venti PIV

Solar-Venti is a unique and low running cost Positive Input Ventilation system. Unlike our Awenta range, the PIV is only designed to draw in fresh air to the property, relying on existing ventilation openings to force out any stale or moist air from the home. This strategy doesn’t work for new build homes that are built to airtight, well-insulated standards as there will be limited passive openings. The benefit of the Solar Venti is its ability to heat the air through solar radiation before it enters the home. On a sunny day whether summer or winter, the Solar Venti can deliver heated air at up to 22 degrees. During sunny winter days, this can reduce the burden on your heating systems and should help to keep the ambient temperature within the home at a higher level.

FAQs

How Much Does MVHR Cost?

MVHR systems range from around £2000-£4000 for the system and associated ducting, plenums, and distribution boxes. On top of this, there is an added cost to fit the system, although many of our customer prefer to undertake most of the installation themselves whilst under our guidance. There are many types and brands of MVHR systems at various price points, but the important thing is to always slightly over size the system to reduce the strain and therefore the operational noise.

Why Is a Awenta AHR Better for Existing Homes?

The Awenta AHR is a unique and modern single-room heat recovery system that can be installed with relative ease. The only thing to bear in mind is that it requires to be hardwired into a plug socket. Unlike whole house MVHR systems, smaller AHR units focus on a room-by-room ventilation strategy, therefore, if you have one room that suffers damp, mould, and condensation, it can be installed in that room to address the problem. This is a much cheaper way to live healthily whilst addressing damp, mould, and condensation problems.

How Long Does An Installation Take?

A Single Room AHR or Solar Venti PIV installation can usually be installed in a matter of hours and the installation causes little disruption to your property. An MVHR installation generally takes several days due to the complex run of ducting into each room of the house. As a supplier and installer of our product range, we’ll always endeavour to ensure installations are completed in a timely manner.

What Is The Difference Between AHR and Solar Venti PIV?

The single-room AHR units introduce ventilation in otherwise unventilated spaces whereas the Solar Venti PIV relies upon there being existing passive vents for which it can force stale air through. The PIV introduces fresh air that forces old air from the home whereas the AHR forces the air out first before reintroducing fresh, filtered, and heated air. To conclude, they work in opposite ways – the Solar Venti PIV introduces fresh air whilst the AHR removes stale air.

What Is The Cost Of An Single Room AHR?

Unlike the several thousands of pounds of investment required for an MVHR, the AHR is usually less than £500 for the single room version. Where multiple AHR’s are added to create a ventilation network across several rooms, the secondary units will cost around the £350-£400 mark. Whilst AHR’s are more expensive than generic extract fans found in bathrooms, they offer better value for money in the long term thanks to the heat recovery function.

Does The Solar Venti Work In The Winter?

Yes! Some of the best performance from a Solar Venti comes on crisp, cold and sunny winter days. The Solar Venti generally performs much better when the sun is out but even when the temperature is close to freezing, the heat from the sun still powers the fan and heats the air as it passes into the exchanger. Solar Venti is essentially an air shifter and when the internal air is moist and stale, the positive input ventilation will help to force out old air from the property year round.
