Our SnowTemp Cleanair HRV was installed a week ago. Buying a brand new home with double glazing and adequate heating we expected it to be dry and warm but quickly found out the condensation was awful. In the mornings when the overnight temperature outside was low, all the windows in the house were dripping, the bedrooms were the worst. I was spending half an hour a morning mopping up with old towels. Last night's cooking smells lingered even when using our externally vented range hood. Installing the HRV has changed all of that. The house is dry and warmer and it smells fresh and there is no more condensation on any of the windows or joinery. Our bedroom doors can now be closed with ventilated and fresh rooms and the heat pumps are not working so hard. We wanted to choose a system which copes with a colder climate as having moved from Auckland six months ago, a ventilation system we had in our previous house would not have coped with the colder climate. Plus the steam from showering is exhausted quickly and we have comfort knowing our house is secure and warmer without having to leave windows open to ventilate the house. Coming into high pollen season will mean two members of our family who suffer from hay fever will be more comfortable with filtered fresh air and closed windows. Really thrilled, great investment.
