Heat Recovery
Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) systems provide ventilation for residential or commercial buildings that are highly insulated and air-tight. Heat recovery ventilation offers controlled ventilation, humidity control, mould prevention, odour control, and air hygiene. These systems require regular maintenance to stay in top condition and to function efficiently.
Our Heat recovery System Maintenance services is suitable for residential or commercial premises, and include:
- Checking and/or replacing blocked filters.
- Cleaning dirty heat exchange surfaces could reduce efficiency.
- Unblocking condensate drains that could cause a build-up of things like bacteria.
- Replacing damaged damper seals.
- Repairing seized damper actuators.
- Checking the controls are calibrated correctly.
- Certain systems require more maintenance than others. For example, the simplest and cheapest heat recovery solution is a heat plate exchanger which, while it has low efficiency, is pretty low maintenance too. A system with a run-around coil requires a little more maintenance over time but is a more efficient method of heat recovery.
The Benefits of Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems and How They Work
Energy Efficiency
As stated before, heat recovery ventilation systems help provide fresh air for your home without sacrificing too much indoor heat. They can also help you reduce your energy consumption and heating requirements by operating at a lower rate, allowing you to significantly lower your energy bills.
Eliminates Condensation
Condensation is a common issue for many homeowners, one that HVAC filter products like a heat recovery ventilation system can help combat. This is because they reduce the moisture in your home, preventing the condensation that encourages mold and mildew growth, which can be hazardous to your household’s health.
Clean Air
Clean air is a must in maintaining good indoor air quality and keeping your home as healthy as possible, which can be a bit difficult to do with the way the environment is nowadays. Luckily, heat recovery ventilation systems can aid you in this endeavor, as the system is more than capable of removing indoor air impurities as well as lowering indoor humidity. This provides you and your family with a healthier home in which to live.
