With the colder weather rapidly approaching, we often start looking at ways to make our homes warmer without increasing our living expenses.
When it comes to increasing the temperature within our homes we have two options, electric or fuel based heaters.
Whatever your method of heating is, it has one major drawback:
The heat is only felt in the immediate vicinity. While its warm in your lounge, the bedrooms, and other rooms in your house are cold.
Do I Need One For my House?
This is a common question and is easily answered by answering these questions:
- Does your current heating method generate excess heat?
- Is it cold in other rooms of your house?
- Is it too hot during the summer?
If you answered yes to either of these questions then a heat-transfer system will benefit you but the bonuses don’t stop there.
A house with an energy recovery system in place will enjoy warmth in cooler areas, cheaper heating costs, less condensation, fresh air circulated around the house and cooler temperatures during the warmer season.
How a Home ventilation system can benefit you
The advantages of having an energy recovery system in your house include:
- Moisture – within your house is reduced
- Stay Cool – During the summer periods your system can keep you cooler by redirecting the heat
- Ventilation – Added ventilation to areas within your house that might not have the options otherwise
- Cheaper – Cost effective due to the fact that less energy is needed to move the air opposed to heating it. The operating costs are lower than the cost of a light bulb!
- Reduced Heat-loss – heat loss is minimized which lowers the need to generate more heat from other sources
What To Consider When Purchasing a Heat & Energy Transfer System
There are a few considerations to keep in mind when you’re looking to purchase a heat exchanger for your house.
- How many bedrooms do you have? This will determine the size of the kit you buy. There are many options around and it depends on how many rooms you want to distribute heat to. 3 Bedroom Transfer Kits are the most common.
- How far away is the original source of heat (lounge) from the rooms you want to transfer to? This will determine how many diffusers you have and the length of ducting required.
- Do you want to the additional cooling during summer? This option is generally an add on, allowing you to redirect heat away from the living areas in your home, reducing your inside temperature.
Other common questions we get are:
Can I install this myself?
