Invisible Comfort, Visible Difference
Efficient Heat Recovery Home Ventilation
Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation (MHRV): Enhancing Home Ventilation in Christchurch and Beyond
A home ventilation system like Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation (MHRV) brings fresh air into your house while keeping the indoor temperature comfortable and energy-efficient. This system uses a heat exchanger to transfer warmth from the stale outgoing air to the fresh incoming air—without mixing the two airflows.
How It Works
Stale Air Extraction: The house air ventilation system removes warm, moist air from high-humidity areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Heat Exchange: The extracted air flows through a heat exchanger, transferring its heat to the incoming fresh air.
Fresh Air Supply: The filtered, fresh air is then delivered to key living areas like bedrooms and lounges, maintaining a healthy and pleasant indoor environment.
Why it's important for a home
Improves indoor air quality by continually supplying fresh, filtered air throughout the home.
Reduces energy costs by capturing and reusing heat from the outgoing air — making the system energy-efficient.
Controls humidity to prevent condensation and mould growth, promoting a healthier living environment.
Supports airtight home designs, which are common in modern, energy-efficient houses that require mechanical house roof ventilation systems for balanced airflow.
Enhances comfort by maintaining consistent temperature and high air quality indoors.
