The science is in: HRV home ventilation delivers on home health

If you’re living in a poorly ventilated home, you know the drill in winter: first thing in the morning, sponge down the windowsills where condensation has dripped down overnight. It’s not just an annoyance though; it’s a red flag!

HRV Group General Manager Norman Woods explains: “Condensation on your windows is a sure sign that your family is living in a home with a moisture problem, and that really means you have a ventilation problem.”

Everyday activities create moisture in the home. That includes showering, cooking, laundry and even breathing. Most of those are hard to avoid. The solution is to make sure your home has good airflow, year round. If it doesn’t, moisture, mould and associated health hazards can follow.

HRV home ventilation tackles this issue head on by taking drier air from the roof space, then filtering it before delivering it via vents to your living spaces. Stale, damp air is forced out, leaving you and your family with a drier, healthier home.

Scientifically proven technology

HRV AirSense™ home ventilation is a New Zealand home ventilation system that’s scientifically proven to reduce moisture1 and helps prevent mould. HRV worked closely with researchers at Auckland’s Unitec to test HRV AirSense™ home ventilation in real-world conditions. The results speak for themselves1

In the Unitec real-world study, levels of particulate matter (things like dust, pollen and mould spores) and carbon dioxide all dropped when HRV home ventilation was installed. The AirSense™ includes:

• 5-layer WoolCare™ filter

• Powerful, quiet, EC fan

• Ducting delivers filtered air to every room

A natural partner for ARFNZ

HRV is proud to partner with the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ and donated $100 for every new HRV home ventilation* system sold in the month of May 2024 to support asthma and COPD education for New Zealand health professionals.

Foundation Chief Executive Ms Letitia Harding says: "it's another way they’re sharing our vision for a healthier New Zealand.

“If you are living in an unventilated, cold, damp home that can definitely be a trigger to cause your asthma symptoms to flare up.

Getting a well-ventilated system for your home is incredibly important, which is one of the reasons we have partners like HRV as a Friend of the Foundation.

"They have the same vision as we have which is to live in a healthy home."
