FAQ
How does MVHR work?
ClickVent provides fresh filtered air into a building whilst retaining up to 95% of the energy that has already been used to heat the building. It simply works by extracting air from ‘wet’ rooms within your home e.g. kitchen, bathroom, utility. Extracted air is taken through a central heat exchanger which supplies fresh air to ‘living’ rooms e.g. bedrooms, living rooms, studies etc. If air temperature inside the building is warmer than outside, this heat will be retained, if air temperature is colder inside e.g. in summer, then the coolth is maintained in the building. Ventilation requirements are calculated for individual buildings and achieved within a balanced heat recovery and ventilation system that operates 24hr a day.

Will ClickVent work in my house?
Our system will work in any house but in order to achieve maximum benefit from the system, airtightness within your home should be sufficient, in most cases this means an airtightness level under 3m per square metre per hour. Every building will be different, so to find out about your suitability contact us at info@clickvent.com or go to our Contact Us page to find more info.
What are the benefits of the system?
Energy efficiency- Helps to retain up to 95% of waste heat energy, reducing your buildings carbon emissions and saving you money on your energy year after year
Health- The filtered air produced from the system helps to reduce allergy, hay fever and asthma symptoms. It is also important to have clean, filtered air during the coronavirus pandemic considering how much time is now spent inside our homes. Installing our system will make your home a healthier place for your family.
Controls condensation- Installation of our system will help to control moisture within your home, eliminating condensation around windows and in turn preventing the development of damp and mould growth.
Can I install the system myself?
The system that we create for your building could be quite easily installed by someone with no direct experience, with our Thessla Green MVHR units making this process even more simplistic, because of its self balancing qualities. We can provide information on self installation if you decide to take this route. Customers who are not able to install the systems themselves will be provided with details of our recommended installers.
Why ClickVent over any other systems?
One of the main benefits of choosing ClickVent for your home is the simplicity of installation, meaning the installation will be minimally intrusive in your home. The quality of our system is also important to consider, with each element having been carefully sourced and tested to ensure the highest quality. Elements developed and manufactured by us experience this testing too.
Where will it go in my house and is it discreet?
The main unit is typically stored in spaces such as a plant room, hot press or utility room. When space is limited the unit can be installed in the attic. Our system is highly adaptable to your specific needs and is one of the only units that can be installed in a cold space that reaches temperatures of -15 degrees, this is because of its insulated quality. When in your home, the system is very discreet and takes the form of small vents.
