Why do we need HRV?

FRESH AIR VENTILATION

With the current building code, installing a heat recovery unit is becoming a necessity rather than a choice. It is important that you have adequate air supply to all rooms and extraction from bathrooms and kitchens. Insufficient ventilation can lead to mold growth, condensation damage and unhealthy living conditions. Our team at Balance Point can advise you on the most suitable ventilation system to match your home's airtightness level.

What is balanced ventilation?

What is balanced ventilation?

Balanced ventilation is the best way to provide fresh air to a space. It means we're simultaneously adding air at the same rate we're taking it out. This allows us to:

  • Extract heat from the outgoing air and apply it to the fresh air

  • Maintain a pressure balance between inside and outside the space

  • Control the point of entry, allowing for exemplary filtration of all the air in the home
