Comfort ventilation with heat recovery is a ventilation system that combines the controlled ventilation of a building with the recuperation of thermal energy. It works be recovering heat from the outgoing air, which is then used to heat fresh air before recirculating it to the room.

There are many advantages to a comfort ventilation system with heat recovery. Heat recovery can improve a building’s energy efficiency by reducing its need for heating energy. A comfort ventilation system with heat recovery also contributes to a healthy indoor environment by providing a constant supply of fresh air and reducing the amount of pollutants and viruses in the air. Constant air circulation also significantly reduces the risk of mould growth. To learn more about the many other benefits, browse our website.

Our ventilation systems use heat recuperation to recover heat. A fixed heat exchanger exchanges heat between the extract air and the outdoor air by cross-counterflow. An extract air fan draws the extract air from the room and passes it through the extract air filter and the heat exchanger. It is then discharged to the outside as exhaust air. At the same time, the supply air fan draws in outdoor air, cleans it using an outdoor air filter and then passes it through the heat exchanger as supply air (separate from the extract air) and into the house. In summer, heat recovery works in reverse to recover coolness by delaying the arrival of warm outside air into your home, unlike window ventilation.

There are many reasons why a comfort ventilation system with heat recovery is a smart investment. While modern building standards mean that building shells are thick, regular air exchange is important both for the health of the occupants and for humidity control, making it crucial to maintaining the structural integrity of your home. This is where ventilation systems come in. Ventilation units with heat recovery help to reduce heating costs and CO₂ emissions. The good sound insulation properties of our ventilation units also cancel out outside noise (from cars, trains, aeroplanes). Ventilation units with a fine particulate filter help people with pollen allergies in particular to breathe easily indoors.

There are many factors that affect the cost of a comfort ventilation system with heat recovery, such as the living space or number of units required. This makes it difficult to give a general cost estimate. At Meltem we always try to design our comfort ventilation units to be as efficient and cost effective as possible with our multi-room solution. Our colleagues are happy to help you with our free, no-obligation design service. You will receive an individual ventilation design for your project together with a quotation that includes a price guarantee and planning security.
