Unovent Say Keeping Your Roof Ventilated is Important for Whole Home Health

As the emphasis on healthier energy-efficient homes with warmer, dryer living conditions grows in New Zealand, the building industry has seen a rise in the emergence of more passive housing trends, including more airtight construction methods and associated products. 

As houses are being built more airtight, they are unable to “breathe”. This means they cannot follow the natural process of sucking in fresh air and expelling stale air containing moisture and contaminants. If this humidity is not removed from the building, it can lead to condensation. The continuous build-up of condensation leads to the eventual decay of building products and mould growth. 

The good news is proper ventilation can reduce the risk of these problems. Maintaining your home’s roofing ventilation is especially important in New Zealand because we experience both cold and hot weather to varying degrees around the country. 

Many homes have had roof space temperatures in the 30-50s recently, and these high temperatures are a sign of a poorly ventilated roof, signalling that stale air is sitting stagnant. Even in a well-insulated home, this will affect the temperature inside the home, radiating heat through the ceiling. Some of the air within the roof will also make its way into the home via light fittings etc 

Unovent recommend maintaining a healthy roof space with a roof fan like their Xtract Attic Roof Fan. It is solar powered so there is no cost to run and it keeps the air in the roof space fresh. 

Unovent's unique ductless technology has changed the game in home ventilation. Designed in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions, it is less expensive and more economical to run than other systems. Using only 12 volts, the ceiling mounted units from Unovent draw filtered dry air from the roof cavity to help maintain airflow and healthier air quality. The Unobrain's smart sensor detects temperature and humidity, and automatically turns the fan on to help reduce moisture and condensation. 

Unovent is a next generation ventilation system that creates a drier, healthier feeling in your home and is less expensive than other ventilation systems, so with this in mind, please take a moment to find out more about kitchen air extractors and bathroom extractor fans by visiting the website at https://justlifegroup.co.nz .
