What is heat recovery?

Heat recovery is a continuous running ventilation system that recovers


the majority of heat energy and supplies it back to your home that would
otherwise be wasted. The heat recovery unit itself recovers more
energy than what is used to operate the system there for making it an
efficient ventilation solution.

How does it work?

The airflow is provided through a ducted system


to serve all of the rooms in the house.
It extracts air from the wet rooms (kitchen,
bathrooms, toilets, utility room) and supplies air
to the habitable rooms (living room, bedroom,
dining room, study). By having continuous airflow
it helps reduce build up of excessive moisture
and odours within your property, providing a more
comfortable indoor environment.
ComfoAir is working 365 days per year to provide
fresh filtered air to your home.

Get to know your Zehnder ComfoAir
Your Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system.

The ComfoAir range has up to 93% heat recovery


efficiency and offers outstanding energy with low
noise performance. The heat is being recovered
from your home constantly which means it helps
reduce the heating demand for the property. This is
advantageous not only for yourself but also for the
environment, making it a sustainable heat recovery
system.

It is extracting and supplying air to keep your home


fresh whilst removing moisture and other airborne
particles. The system will boost in a number of ways
to ensure higher levels of moisture and odour are
removed e.g. from bathing, showering and cooking.
This will be via a light switch (bathroom), humidity
sensing (bathroom and kitchen) or via an independent
switch (kitchen).
The boost increases the ventilation rate to quickly
extract moisture and keep internal conditions
maintained for you and your family. It also contains
features such as its automatic true summer by-pass,
high heat recovery efficiency and integrated humidity
sensor to provide a comfortable, healthy and energy
efficient indoor climate.

Summer Bypass in your MVHR unit.

✓ When the weather warms up your MVHR unit stops


recovering and reusing heat, the summer bypass
function is now a crucial factor in helping reduce
discomfort of the summer heat
✓ Limits airflow
✓ Reduce the level of tempered air
✓ Activates automatically based on external
temperature level e.g. 23°C
✓ Uses an intelligent algorithm to look at both internal
and external conditions
✓ Provide ‘cold recovery’ as further contribution to
improve comfort levels in summer months
