Frequently asked questions
Keep it in order. Replacing fans and motors - they wear out, the manufacturer promises a lifespan of 10 years, but they can last 5-25 years, depending on how well they are maintained. Capacitors? They can also need a change. And if the ducts are not tight, the ventilation does not work properly - repair or replacement is then necessary.
Filters and gaskets must be changed regularly. Without them, the system does not work optimally, and the indoor air suffers. The pressure difference sensors must be calibrated and replaced if necessary to keep the system in balance. Cooker hoods, IMS controls and the addition of replacement air are also key – they keep the ventilation efficient.
If you want to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality, cleaning and adjusting ventilation ducts and equipment is essential. These actions keep the system in tip-top shape and ensure you're breathing the best possible air. Remember: take care of your ventilation and it will take care of you.
Depends on the part and usage. Fan bearings? They last between 5 and 25 years, but only if you maintain them properly. Filters and gaskets? They need to be changed once or twice a year - or more often if there is a lot of dust in the air. If the filters become clogged, the air quality will suffer, and it will show immediately.
Differential pressure sensors? They must be calibrated regularly to keep the system in balance. Cooker hoods and other appliances? If they play tricks, they need to be serviced or replaced immediately.
And if you want to maximize energy efficiency, don't forget to replace seals and repair air leaks. This is a game where regular maintenance saves money and keeps the air fresh. Don't skip - maintain and replace, and the ventilation will remain in top condition.
Inspection of the engine room is the core of maintenance. First, check the ventilation control systems – make sure that everything is working as it should and that the supply air temperature is at the right level. The cleanliness of the engine room is also critical: dirt and debris can block equipment and cause overheating.
Check the condensate drainage of the cooling and heat recovery coils - it must work perfectly so that moisture does not wreak havoc in the engine room. Also make sure that the air quality and temperature in the machine room are optimal for the operation of the equipment.
Finally, listen to the ventilation machine. If the machine makes unusual noises, it may be a mechanical problem that requires further investigation. These checks ensure that your ventilation system runs efficiently and reliably, well into the future. This is where you don't want to tinker - fix the engine room and the ventilation works like a dream.
A thermal camera measurement is like an X-ray of your building – it reveals problem areas without having to dismantle anything. It finds heat leaks, insulation gaps, air leaks, cold bridges and sometimes even moisture damage. With thermal imaging, you can also see deficiencies in ventilation and adjustments that you wouldn't otherwise notice.
Before filming, make sure that the heating system is in normal use and that the indoor temperature is at +20–+24ºC for at least 24 hours. The ventilation and replacement air valves must also be in the normal operating position. In this way, you ensure that the description gives the most accurate possible result and that all problem areas come to the fore. This is the way to find hidden problems and make sure your home is in order - don't miss it!
Yes and no. It depends on the time. In winter, when there are fewer mold spores in the outdoor air, the test is more reliable and gives a good picture of whether there is mold in the indoor air. In summer, the situation is different – the air is full of mold spores, and then it is difficult to distinguish whether the mold comes from the outside or inside of the sample. Of course, you can also order a mold test in the summer, but then twice as many samples are needed and the results are still not as accurate.
The best time to order a mold test is in the winter, when you can be sure that the results are reliable. Save time and money - do the mold investigation when it gives the clearest answer.
No, mold does not kill. Black mold (Stachybotrys) and other molds often get a bad rap, but the reality is more complicated. Mold can cause health problems, but for most it just means a stuffy nose, headache or itchy eyes. Annoying? Yes. Life threatening? No.
There is no scientific evidence that mold can cause cancer or kill directly. Some people, such as asthmatics or those with weak immune systems, may have worse symptoms, but serious problems are rare.
Keep the humidity under control and the ventilation in order, and mold will not be a problem. You shouldn't be afraid of mold - but take care of it.
The fear of mold is not completely hysteria, but it is often exaggerated. Yes, mold can cause health problems, especially for those with asthma or allergies, but the truth is that not all mold exposure leads to serious health problems. "Toxic black mold" has received a lot of attention, but the facts are often drowned out by fear.
Mold can be a problem, but usually only when you are exposed to large amounts over a long period of time in poorly ventilated areas. Most molds, including black mold, can cause allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or skin irritation, but these effects are usually mild and can be treated by removing the mold and improving ventilation.
Mold should be treated as soon as it appears, but there is no reason to panic. Understand the facts, handle the situation and keep unnecessary fear away.
The air flow needs to be properly balanced once - and that's it. When you order ventilation measurement and adjustment, make sure that the service provider is not an amateur. The adjustment of the air volumes must be done with a proportional adjustment, that is the only correct way. Balancing is only necessary when major changes are made to the system, such as modifying the channels, changing the engine or changing the valves. Once the job is done correctly, the system runs efficiently without constant adjustments.
Choose a contractor who knows what he's doing, do it right once - and forget about constant adjustments.
