What is a heat recovery system and how does it work?

A heat recovery system is a ventilation solution designed to improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

These units recover heat from the air extracted from your home and push it back into the building with the incoming fresh air. This process helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing energy consumption.

Fans such as the Vent Axia Tempra recover 78% of the heat normally lost through the use of standard extractor fans.

How much electricity does a heat recovery unit use?

The electricity consumption of a heat recovery unit varies, but modern units are designed for energy efficiency. For example, the Vent Axia Tempra consumes only 3.2 Watts on trickle rate, ensuring low energy usage. 

What are the different types of heat recovery systems?

There are different types of heat recovery systems, including Single Room Heat Recovery Units like the Vent Axia Tempra, which is easy to retrofit in place of a standard extractor fan.

Other types include whole-house systems and centralised units that serve multiple rooms or an entire building. The choice of product will depend on specific ventilation needs and property size.

Are heat recovery units worth it?

Yes, heat recovery units are worth it. They enhance air quality, reduce energy bills and contribute to a healthier living environment. The initial investment in a heat recovery unit is often outweighed quickly by savings in energy costs.
