Moisture Control
A damp home will lead to a raft of health-related and
building-related problems. Mould and mildew cause respiratory
problems (wheezing, shortness of breath), sinus problems,
irritations to the skin, eyes and throat, headaches, nausea and
even depression. These conditions especially affect babies, the
elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Dust mites also
flourish in damp conditions. What's more, damp conditions adversely
affect the integrity of the home and furnishings - causing
structural damage (rot) in internal framing and window surrounds,
peeling paint, staining of walls and furniture, and damaging
curtains and bedding.
Good news… up in the roof space it's a
different story. Rooftops act as giant solar collectors, warming
and drying the air in the roof spaces below.
The HRV Healthy Home Ventilation system
takes the naturally warmer and drier air from the roof space,
filters and purifies it, and distributes it evenly throughout the
home. This creates a "positive pressure" environment which forces
excess moisture and pollutants (mould spores, dust mite waste) from
the home.
Recently Drybuild Infrared Solutions
inspected a typical damp home prior to the installation of an HRV
System. The results showed that within one month the moisture
levels in the home reduced by 25-52% - a significant drop made
possible by HRV.
The HRV Healthy Home Ventilation system,
rather than to more internal heating, is the perfect solution to
the problem of condensation build up. Many thousands of HRV owners
notice a substantial improvement in their homes shortly after the
installation. Removing condensation and damp also starts a long
list of other improvements and benefits…
- Visible mould and window sill damage reduced
- Mould on personal belongings and in wardrobes is reduced
- Dust mites thrive in damp environments - dust mites are
reduced
- Asthma sufferers enjoy a drier environment and less
problems
- The home is drier and easier to heat
- Even temperatures are created throughout the whole home
Serious about creating a drier, healthier home? We are. The HRV
Whole Home Ventilation System is an innovation designed to maximise
your home comfort and minimise emissions and energy cost.
