Ventilation comes down to 3 main types in the Kiwi home.

Extractor Fans
Positive Pressure Ventilation Systems
Heat Recovery Balanced Ventilation Systems

Extractor fans are found in most households today. These typically take the form of kitchen and bathroom water vapour removal. It’s important that these are correctly installed and vent out to a correct part of the property. Noise and consumption are also important considerations.

Ever been in the situation of not wanting to run the kitchen fan for extended periods as it’s noisy?

Positive Pressure Ventilation Systems are very common in New Zealand households. It is now a requirement that all ventilation from these systems draw in air from outside and not from the roof space as the older systems have done. This improves air quality, but not air temperature. These systems will allow for air to be constantly pushed throughout the house however heating can become an expensive operation keeping a house warm.

Heat Recovery Balanced Ventilation Systems that are based on passive home systems are the ultimate in home ventilation. They are extremely efficient, will greatly reduce heating costs for your property but are also expensive and need to be professionally design and installed.
