Poor ventilation symptoms often start small, a little condensation on windows, a musty smell, or stale air that lingers after cooking, yet these warning signs can signal deeper issues with indoor air quality and home comfort. With rising energy-efficient building standards, homes in the UK can become too airtight, trapping moisture and pollutants inside instead […]
The best heat recovery ventilation system for your home is one that matches your property’s size, airtightness level, and ventilation needs while maintaining low noise and high energy efficiency. In the UK climate, where humidity and indoor air quality issues are common, choosing the right HRV system protects your home and improves comfort. UK homes, […]
Ventilation is important because it removes stale, polluted air from your home and replaces it with fresh, oxygen-rich air, improving indoor air quality, comfort, and long-term building health. In modern, airtight UK homes, proper ventilation is essential to prevent condensation, mould, and poor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency. UK homes are increasingly airtight due […]
Clean, fresh air and energy-efficient heating go hand-in-hand in modern Irish homes. Home ventilation solutions like MVHR, single-room heat recovery, and decentralised heat recovery ventilation help you achieve both while saving money and improving comfort. This blog answers every question Irish homeowners are asking in 2025 about ventilation and indoor air quality. In 2025, home […]
Smart home ventilation systems are transforming homes in 2025 by improving indoor air quality and significantly enhancing home energy efficiency. They combine intelligent sensors, heat recovery technology, and automation to create healthier, more efficient living spaces. Today’s homeowners want better air quality, lower energy bills, and a more comfortable home environment, and modern smart ventilation […]
In most cases, for modern Irish homes, mechanical ventilation (especially systems like MVHR) offers clear advantages over natural ventilation, better indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and comfort. That said, natural ventilation can still work for smaller or older houses, or where cost and simplicity matter more than performance. In this post, we compare mechanical ventilation […]
A whole-house dehumidifier system is one of the most effective ways to create a healthier, more energy-efficient home. It works quietly in the background to keep humidity at the perfect level all year round. For many homeowners, problems like damp, mould, condensation on windows, and musty smells seem “normal”, but they don’t have to be. […]
Works through two airflows: one removing stale indoor air, the other bringing in fresh air. A heat exchanger transfers warmth from outgoing to incoming air, saving energy. Filters capture dust, pollen, and allergens to improve air purity. Ideal for airtight or energy-rated homes, offices, and schools. Typically runs continuously for balanced, controlled airflow. This baseline […]
Carry out a detailed energy audit (often using an accredited assessor). This will highlight heat losses, inefficient equipment, and opportunities for improvement. Use thermographic imaging / infrared surveys to identify thermal bridges and insulation gaps. Check the building’s current Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) / Display Energy Certificate (for public buildings) to see its rating. Monitor […]
