Why do you need a heat recovery ventilator?
A heat recovery ventilator (recuperator) ensures a continuous supply of fresh air while removing stale, humid and polluted indoor air. Unlike conventional ventilation, a recuperator uses the heat from outgoing air to preheat incoming air, helping to reduce heating costs. A recuperator improves indoor air quality, reduces excess humidity, helps prevent mould growth and creates a healthy indoor climate at home, in apartments, offices and commercial premises.
When is a heat recovery ventilator needed?
A recuperator should be used when indoor air quality is poor, humidity is excessive, windows fog up or mould problems occur. Heat recovery ventilation is especially important in well-insulated buildings where natural air exchange is limited. A recuperator is suitable for both new builds and existing apartments and houses, helping to ensure fresh indoor air year-round.
Which heat recovery ventilator should you choose?
The right recuperator choice depends on building type, number of rooms and ventilation requirements. A decentralised (local) recuperator is suitable for apartments, individual rooms and renovated buildings, as it does not require extensive ductwork. A central heat recovery ventilation unit is the best choice for detached houses, offices and larger buildings where the entire building needs to be ventilated. When choosing, consider airflow (m³/h), heat recovery efficiency, noise level, energy consumption and filter quality.
How to choose a heat recovery ventilator?
When selecting a recuperator, consider building size, number of occupants, room usage and required air exchange. Important parameters include airflow (m³/h), heat recovery efficiency (%), energy class, noise level and filter type. Also decide whether you need a decentralised recuperator or a central ventilation unit. A correctly selected recuperator helps improve indoor air quality, reduce moisture problems and save on energy costs.
Heat recovery ventilators for home, apartment and commercial use
Recuperators are used in homes, apartments, offices, schools and commercial premises where continuous fresh air supply is important. A decentralised recuperator is an excellent solution for apartments and existing houses where installing ventilation ductwork is not possible or practical. Central recuperators are suitable for new builds and larger buildings, providing energy-efficient ventilation throughout the entire structure. From the Pro Air OÜ range you will find quality recuperators for residential and commercial use, and our specialists will help you choose the solution that best suits your needs.
