Why Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV)?...

Building regulations requires that a property has adequate ventilation. Ventilation of a dwelling is required to prevent the accumulation of moisture that could lead to the following:image1
  • Mould growth
  • Accumulation of pollutants
  • Poor air quality for breathing

Improved insulation, double glazing, draught excluders and tighter construction methods results in energy efficient improvements. The consequence of such measures is to reduce natural ventilation within a building. Household odours, damp, condensation, and toxins can contribute to a property being unpleasant or unhealthy to live in.

The Solution 

The use of a Daikin HRV system will provide a solution to provide sufficient ventilation to the dwelling whilst recovering the valuable energy used to heat the dwelling in the first place.

What is HRV?

The Daikin HRV system is a highly efficient heat exchanger.  Up to 80% of the energy in the air of the dwelling (both sensible - affecting the air temperature and latent energy - affecting the air humidity) is exchanged with outside fresh air.

The valuable energy used to heat the dwelling is recovered and distributed around the property to provide a comfortable well ventilated dwelling.

The HRV system has the following advantages:

  • 80% Total heat Efficiency (Total is both sensible and latent heat together)
  • Dalkin HRV unit will contribute to your TER score
  • Free cooling during the summer through electronically control by-pass damper
  • Extremely low power consumption (as low as 60w)
  • Easy to clean filter system (6 - 12 months before filters need cleaning - the system will inform you)
  • Clean fresh air without losing heat all year round
  • Simple to operate LCD controller with electronic self diagnosis and filter clean indicator
  • Compact. Can be positioned vertically or horizontally in loft or cupboard
  • Quiet operation

Remote Controller:

  • Position anywhere in your house
  • Hi/Low fan speed selection
  • Positive/Negative selection
  • 7 day timer
  • Auto bypass heat exchange selection
  • Filter clean indicator

houseHow is HRV installed ?

HRV is very easy to install. Using our push fit insulated ducting the HRV system can be installed into new builds or existing dwellings. Typically, a 2-3 bedroom house can be installed in one day.

The Natural Energy Company will provide you with a system design for your property and a quotation for a supply only or supply/fit service.
