The good thing with this is that when you know under what conditions both condensation and mould will appear you can then work stop those conditions from being produced in your home.

Use the ebook to help you learn about your home.

Download the book on the blue link above.
Come back and comment about it.

Hi Nick, in response for Anne,
True, dew point is very important…..(the dew point at the surface of the glass/aluminium)
So the Double Glazing keeps the surface of the inside of the glass up therefore we do not see the condensation appearing on the glass or the aluminium.
But the moisture stays suspended in the air increasing the humidity in the home and likely hood of mould growth and very good conditions for increasing the levels of
both bacteria and viruses.. With double glazing means that people do not want to open windows and give the home fresh air.

Hi Anne,
I don’t entirely agree with your statement above about double glazing stopping the impression of condensation on glass and that the moisture will be in your carpets.
It all depends on dew points doesn’t it? So if the temperature is maintained in the room to an adequate level the moisture will remain in the air unless it comes into contact with a cold surface, right!

Hi Charles, I would only run it when the condensation on the windows is an issue i.e not when the heat pump is running or during the day I would just try having it come on from the around 10pm - 7am (trial and error) with regard to speed obviously this is fan/house volume dependent and again trial and error . There was an HRV in my house when i first moved in - the only obvious benefit was the dry windows that could have only be caused by the positive pressure as the house had no insulation whatsoever so the temp in the roof space was usually the same as the living area so it must have been the positive pressure the solved the problem - hence my conclusion , why do you think the controller would help?

From previous experience it is the ‘fancy’ controller that makes the difference, as it will bring on the appropriate quantities of air when it is available in the volumes that is needed. If you operate it manually you will have no better than 15 year old basic ventilation systems and a supply of too much cold air when you do not want it. I would not recommend a timer, but i’m curious what times do you think it should be running and what speeds? I’d love to know your thoughts.

With a heat pump installed you should only need to introduce a reasonable positive pressure to combat crying windows? assume you probably don’t need fancy controllers just a decent fan ducting and a basic switch or timer?

Hi Louise,
#1. It needs to be vented into each of your bedrooms and all living spaces.
#2. When the roof cavity is warmer than the house it should be capable of moving up to 2 1/2 to 3 times the air volume of your home. (so with a higher stud it is important the system can cope with the volume of your home)
#3. The system you install should work around your needs, if you want a heat transfer (say you have a large w/fire in your lounge) you can have one.
#4. I’m guessing your home does not get tooo hot in summer, Therefore you probably don’t need a summer fresh air supply, but you should be able to add that process if you need to.
#5. You should be able to choose the target temperature in your home - that way the system is working to raise or lower the house temperature to your needs, and should not cut off when the roof gets hot but the house is not up to your chosen temperature.
I hope this helps if you need more specific info email me through the contact page.
