EnviroVent Frequently Asked Questions
What types of extractor fans does EnviroVent offer?
EnviroVent provides a comprehensive range of extractor fans, designed to enhance air circulation, prevent condensation, and improve indoor air quality. Their range includes:
- Axial Fans: Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and small spaces, these fans provide efficient airflow over short distances and are commonly installed in walls or ceilings.
- Inline Fans: Installed within ducting, these fans are perfect for longer duct runs or where a discreet installation is required, such as loft-mounted ventilation systems. They tend to be quieter than axial fans while offering higher performance.
- Centrifugal Fans: Designed for high-performance applications, these powerful fans generate higher pressure, making them ideal for commercial spaces or properties requiring ventilation through longer ducting.
What is the difference between axial and inline fans?
- Axial Fans: These are mounted directly onto walls or ceilings and are best suited for short duct runs (e.g., direct venting through an external wall). They are compact, cost-effective, and easy to install, making them a popular choice for residential settings.
- Inline Fans: These fans are installed within ducting, usually in loft spaces or ceiling voids, making them ideal for scenarios where the fan needs to be hidden or where ventilation is required over a longer distance. Inline fans are generally more powerful and quieter than axial fans, as they are positioned away from the living space.
Are EnviroVent fans suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, EnviroVent offers a range of extractor fans specifically designed for different environments:
- Bathroom Extractor Fans: These models often include features like humidity sensors, run-on timers, and silent operation, ensuring efficient moisture control to prevent mould and condensation.
- Kitchen Extractor Fans: Designed for handling higher airflow rates, these fans effectively remove cooking fumes, odours, and excess moisture. Some models are compatible with grease filters for improved durability and performance.
What is a humidity sensor, and how does it work?
A humidity sensor is an intelligent feature that detects the level of moisture in the air. When humidity rises above a pre-set threshold (e.g., during a shower or when cooking), the extractor fan automatically activates to remove excess moisture, preventing condensation and damp issues. Once the humidity drops back to an acceptable level, the fan turns off, ensuring energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary operation.
How do I choose the right size extractor fan for my room?
Selecting the correct extractor fan size depends on the volume of the room and the required airflow rate (measured in cubic metres per hour, m³/h). A general guideline is:
- Bathrooms: Typically require an airflow rate of 15-30 m³/h, depending on the size and frequency of use.
- Kitchens: Require a more powerful fan, with 30-60 m³/h being ideal for standard kitchens. Larger or commercial kitchens may require even higher extraction rates.
- Utility Rooms & Laundry Areas: Should have 15-30 m³/h to effectively remove excess moisture from washing machines and tumble dryers.
