Essentially, a good home ventilation system is a requirement all year round. For instance, during winter, it is advantageous to have a ventilation system because your house is usually closed most of the time and if your system isn't working properly, there won't be sufficient supply of fresh air in the room. In fact, recent studies have revealed that many pollutants as well as moisture usually collect in the house during this period.

At Comfort Solutions they assert that good ventilation is essential for maintaining air quality in your home or business, as well as maintaining healthy moisture levels. Having a draughty house is not the same as having good ventilation. An airtight space is definitely easier to heat, but without proper ventilation the air will not only be stale, it can also be a breeding ground for mould, mildew and dust mites. These nasty’s thrive in a cold, damp space and can lead to countless respiratory illnesses.

Unfortunately, New Zealand has one of the highest rates of respiratory disease in the world, with one in six Kiwis affected. The damp air isn’t just bad for you, but also your home, and moisture build-up leads to moss and mould, both of which can cause extensive damage to your home and your contents.

So, a ventilation system from Comfort Solutions has you covered in two areas; damp – removing moisture from the air isn’t just good for your health, but also the health of your home. A drier space is also easier to heat. The other area is health. The same filtration system removes mildew and mould spores as well as dust, pollen and other allergens.

Comfort Solutions have two main types of ventilation systems; one is the positive pressure system, where dry air is drawn from the ceiling space through a filter and supplied throughout the house, forcing moisture laden air out through gaps in the home. Secondly is their balanced heat recovery system which removes stale air and replaces it with clean, fresh air at the same rate. It is also fitted with a heat exchanger that actively recovers heat energy from the outgoing stale indoor air to pre-warm incoming fresh air. As such, the need for additional heating of fresh air is reduced. This system is specifically designed for modern homes that are of more airtight construction.
