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 nasties 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 1 in 6 kiwis affected. The damp air isn’t just bad for you, but also your home. 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 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 dryer space is also easier to heat.
Health – the same filtration system removes mildew and mould spores as well as dust, pollen and other allergens.
There are two main types of ventilation systems
