Questions
Q How do I operate the unit?
A.
In normal operation you don't. The unit is completely automatic,switching itself from 'condensation control' to 'heat recovery' and 'standby' mode as required to make optimum use of energy. You decide when to operate the boost switch to provide generous amounts of filtered fresh air, perhaps during warm weather or times when indoor air quality is particularly poor.
Q.How much does it cost to run?
A.When you consider the advantages the unit will provide for you and the other occupants, the running costs are insignificant.
On 'medium' setting the electrical consumption will be around a penny a day. It should, however, be remembered that the unit is making use of heat in both the loft and at ceiling level that otherwise be lost. The unit will switch itself off when temperatures are such that condensation would not occur within your home e.g. in summertime.
Q What maintenance is required for the unit?
A Very little. The only maintenance required is the replacement of the filters every 5 years (under normal conditions).
Q How will I remember to clean the filters?
A A flashing red light will show on the remote box.
Q How will I know if the unit is working?
A The unit motor may be almost inaudible but you should notice a change of atmosphere in the hallway within a day or so.
Within a few weeks any mould should start to dry out and eventually become a grey powder which can easily be cleaned. After a month your home will be a healthier environment free from severe condensation dampness.
A permanent red light will show on the remote sensor in the unlikely event there is a fault with the unit.
Q Will the unit control condensation in any home?
A The installation of the unit alone will provide a remarkable improvement in any home. Some homes with extraordinary high levels of moisture generation or of non standard layout occasionally require additional enhancement measures to effect a complete solution. We will provide further details if applicable.
