New Zealand…
It's not called the "Land of the
Long White Cloud" for nothing…

New Zealand's legacy of damp homes has led to a raft of health-related and building-related problems. Mould and mildew cause respiratory problems (wheezing, shortness of breath), sinus problems, irritations to the skin, eyes and throat, headaches, nausea and even depression. These conditions especially affect babies, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Dust mites also flourish in damp conditions - they cannot drink water so gain their requirements from the surrounding environment. What's more, damp conditions adversely affect the integrity of the home and furnishings - causing structural damage (rot) in internal framing and window surrounds, peeling paint, staining of walls and furniture, and damaging curtains and bedding.

Good news…. up in the roof space it's a different story. Rooftops act as giant solar collectors, warming the air in the roof spaces below.

The HRV Whole Home Ventilation system takes the naturally warmer and drier air from the roof space, filters and purifies it, and distributes it evenly throughout the home. This creates a "positive pressure" environment which forces excess moisture and pollutants (mould spores, dust mite waste) from the home. Recently Drybuild Infrared Solutions inspected a typical West Auckland home prior to the installation of an HRV System. The results showed that within one month the moisture levels in the home reduced by 25-52% - a significant drop made possible by HRV.

The HRV Healthy Home Ventilation system, rather than more internal heating, is the perfect solution to the problem of condensation build up. Many thousands of HRV owners notice a substantial improvement in their homes shortly after the installation. Removing condensation and damp also starts a long list of other improvements and benefits…
