If you’re an Aussie homeowner looking to save money and reduce your environmental impact, then a heat recovery system is worth considering. Heat recovery systems take the heat from the air you’re expelling from your home and use it to pre-heat the air coming in. This can be done through natural ventilation or mechanical ventilation with a heat exchanger. Here are some of the benefits of implementing a heat recovery system in your home.
First up, energy efficiency. On cold days, without a heat recovery system, warm air is expelled from your house and cold outside air is brought in. This means you’re using more energy to warm up the incoming air than you need to be – but implementing a heat recovery system can change this by pre-heating the incoming air with the outgoing warm air. This reduces your energy bills, as well as reducing your environmental impact.
Next up, improved indoor air quality. Heat recovery systems help remove pollutants such as dust, pollen and other allergens from the incoming air, so you get cleaner and healthier indoor air quality – which is particularly beneficial for those suffering from allergies or asthma. It also helps reduce humidity levels in your home during summer months by venting out stale and humid air while bringing in fresh outdoor air.
Finally, improved comfort levels in your home. By having pre-warmed incoming air temperatures during winter months and reduced humidity levels during summer months, you’ll enjoy higher comfort levels year round – no more draughts or stuffy rooms!
In summary, implementing a heat recovery system in your home has multiple benefits – energy efficiency savings on your bills; improved indoor air quality; and improved comfort levels all year round!
