Effective Moisture Control
Reduced condensation, removal of air pollutants and less energy consumption.
Involves placing individual units in different areas of your home, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or garages (or wetrooms, specific to IEV). These units directly extract moisture from the room and expel it outdoors, significantly reducing the risk of mould and ensuring breathable air.
The best type of ventilation for you and your home depends on various factors, including the size of your home, budget, age of the property and your specific ventilation needs - a qualified surveyor under EEH-Solutions can assist you with this.
While some proposed ventilation systems might introduce slightly cooler air, most modern systems (such as MVHR) have features like heat recovery or pre-heating options to mitigate this effect.
No. You should never block trickle vents as it can lead to condensation, dampness and mould growth.
Common areas include windows, doors, gaps around floorboards, skirting boards, loft hatches, chimneys and unused fireplaces.
The amount you can save wholly depends on the size of your home, type and existing insulation - however, an estimate would be in between £20 - £125 per year.
EEH-Solutions can assist you in choosing an extractor fan, though typically the right fan for you depends on room size, its intended purpose (such as in the bathroom or kitchen) and the desired extraction rate. For instance, you may choose a Non-Ducted extractor fan if you desire ventilation in the kitchen.
The frequency entirely depends on the room and its use. For instance, in bathrooms, you may run it during a bath or shower to remove excess steam. Whereas in a kitchen, you may run it while cooking to remove lingering odours.
It is possible, but you may require specialised permission or have to choose models that comply with specific aesthetic requirements. Seek advice from your local planning authority.
Reduced condensation, removal of air pollutants and less energy consumption.
Altogether reduced energy bills, by minimising heat loss and gain in the summer, you can save more money.
Through these measures, your home will have less pollutants, allergens and contaminants from the air, enhancing overall indoor air quality.
