The way we manage air in our homes is changing fast. Today's smart ventilation systems aren't just about removing damp or stale air—they're about tailoring comfort, saving energy, and making life easier with intelligent controls. Here's how cutting-edge tech from Flexivent helps you breathe easy, effortlessly.
What is Smart Ventilation?
Smart ventilation means your system doesn't just run on a fixed timer or switch. Instead, it responds automatically to changing conditions—adapting airflow, temperature, and humidity for healthier indoor environments. Think:
- App-based controls and alerts
- Humidity and air quality sensors
- Integration with smart speakers (Amazon Alexa, Google Home)
- Schedule and occupancy-based operation
The Benefits: Health, Savings, and Control
1. Optimised Air Quality
Smart sensors continuously monitor humidity, carbon dioxide, and even pollutant levels. The system ramps up ventilation only when needed, keeping air fresh—but not over-ventilating (which wastes energy).
2. Energy Efficiency
By adapting to actual room conditions and usage, smart ventilation avoids running fans when unnecessary. This means lower energy bills, better use of recovered heat, and less wear and tear.
3. Convenience and Customisation
You can adjust, schedule, and diagnose your system remotely—on holiday, at work, or from your sofa. Smart controls enable custom profiles for sleep, work, or allergy seasons.
4. Integration With Whole-Home Automation
Connect your MVHR, MEV, or PIV system into a smart home network. Link it with heating, security, and lighting for total control—and efficient, harmonious running.
Examples of Smart Ventilation Features
- Auto-Boost on Shower or Cooking Detection: Sensors trigger increased airflow when moisture spikes.
- Air Quality Alerts on Your Phone: Get notified if levels fall outside healthy ranges.
- Voice-Control Capability: Adjust ventilation instantly: "Alexa, boost bathroom fan for 20 minutes."
- Maintenance Reminders: Schedule filter changes and inspections, all managed via the cloud.
