Why Home Ventilation Matters in Auckland

According to Stats NZ, more than one in five New Zealand homes are affected by dampness, with Auckland being one of the country’s top three most affected regions. Moisture can enter a home through condensation, leaks or flooding and cause dampness. Thanks to a climate that is generally warmer, damper and more humid than other areas of New Zealand, Auckland homes provide an environment where mould can flourish.

A damp or mouldy home is not a healthy home. It can lead to respiratory problems, infections, asthma, allergies and impact the immune system.

A home ventilation system will reduce the moisture content in the air and reduce the spread of airborne viruses and mould to create a fresher, healthier living environment.

With over 1000 installs across Auckland, Air Conditioning Group knows which ventilation system will work best for your home.

Positive Pressure vs. Balanced Pressure Ventilation

What is the difference between a positive pressure system and a balanced pressure system?

Positive Pressure Ventilation systems primarily create positive pressure to force out moisture and pollutants, whereas Balanced Pressure Ventilation systems focus on exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while maintaining a balanced pressure and often include features like heat recovery to improve energy efficiency.

The Air Conditioning Group can assess your home and discuss which system will best suit your needs.

SmartVent Ventilation System

Positive pressure ventilation systems are designed to move warm, dry, filtered air from the ceiling cavity into the house, creating positive pressure within the indoor space. This pressure differential pushes moisture out through gaps in the home’s exterior. These systems are best suited to older houses like villas and bungalows.

SmartVent offers a wide range of home ventilation solutions for properties of any kind.

SmartVent systems prioritise comfortable indoor living while also ensuring optimal indoor air quality and circulation, protecting your family from airborne threats that often go unnoticed.

With seven distinct ventilation system options available, a SmartVent System coordinates with your preferred temperature settings to regulate air delivery. A constant supply of fresh, clean air indoors prevents dampness, reduces pollutants and keeps your home environment healthier.

HRV Ventilation System

Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV), or balanced pressure ventilation systems, represent a true “fresh air” ventilation solution. These systems effectively extract stagnant, moisture-laden air from indoors and introduce filtered fresh air from outdoors. The air from inside the house is passed over a heat exchanger to warm up the fresh incoming air, maintaining indoor comfort. By incorporating an HRV system, your household will enjoy continuous fresh air and experience reduced moisture levels and heating expenses.  

Mitsubishi Electric’s Lossnay Heat Recovery Ventilation sets a new standard in fresh air.  It brings fresh filtered air into your home and recovers heat energy from the outgoing stale air which is then used to pre-warm the incoming fresh air. The end result is a healthier, drier and warmer home whilst maximising energy efficiencies.

We would love to tell you more about the revolutionary Lossnay Balanced Pressure Ventilation and how it can be integrated into your ducted air conditioning system for your house’s ideal heating, cooling and ventilation solution.
