MVHR Systems Which Comfortably Cool Your Home
MVHR systems actually presents us with options for cooling our homes, too. Take the following MVHR with cooling systems as examples.
The ComfoClime MVHR Unit
The Zehnder ComfoClime Q600 MVHR kit comes with a built-in cooling kit a Comfo Clime 36 cooler. With up to 6 years warranty available and a world class heat recovery rating of 96%, this unit comes with a 2.6kW cooling capacity.
Key features of the ComfoClime from Zehnder include:
· Provides moderate cooling but comes with an integrated heat pump which operates both to heat and cool. This is leagues above standard MVHR units.
· Air dehumidifier which improves your home’s comfort in hot weather.
· Although not a full replacement for your AC unit, the ComfoClime does work well in temperate areas.
· The ComfoClime cannot rapidly cool the air as an AC unit might, but it can maintain coolness once achieved.
The Nuaire Hybrid MVHR Unit
The Nuaire MRXBOXAB Hybrid Cooling Kit is a colling module inside an MVHR unit. Combining classic heat recovery of up to 90% and saving on your utilities bills, this unit delivers fully automatic Summer bypass to ensure your home stays cool, even in the hottest NI weather.
Key features of the Nuaire Hybrid MVHR Unit include:
· Passive cooling in bypass mode using sensors and natural ventilation.
· This system is incredibly energy efficient. It relies on outdoor cooling rather than active cooling systems.
· This MVHR cooling system is best for mild climates with cool night-time temperatures.
Is MVHR Cooling Worth It?
Yes, MVHR cooling is worth it. Between being energy-efficient and making use of natural airflow around your home, the cooling provided by MVHR units both dehumidifies and filters the air which enters the rooms of your home or business.
MVHR cooling comes with low running costs, better air quality, and a smaller carbon footprint than a full blown AC unit. The MVHR is an eco-friendly option for those concerned about their environmental impact.
MVHR Cooling Vs Air conditioning
There are both advantages and disadvantages to MVHR systems and to Air Conditioning Units. For example, MVHR systems can’t offer the speedy relief from the heat which AC units can – but they trade cooling for heating when you need it most… and when you live in the north that heat is important!
Advantages of MVHR Cooling Systems:
· They are energy efficient, using less than your average AC unit
· MVHR units provide better air quality as they cool rather than recirculating air like an AC might.
· Gentler cooling – you won’t be swept off your feet in a gust of cold wind. Stable, natural cooling is the name of the game.
· Lower running costs than an AC
· Sustainable ventilation and cooling with reduced maintenance and refrigerant use.
Disadvantages of Air Conditioning Units:
· AC units have a higher energy cost
· They recirculate stale air, potentially spreading bacteria
· They cool uncomfortably quickly
· They have higher running costs
· AC units require regular cleaning, servicing, and refrigerant checks.
The Benefits of Using MVHR Cooling Systems such as ComfoClime & Nuaire Hybrid MVHRs
The ComfoClime Q600 and the Nuaire Hybrid MVHR units both present homeowners with an energy efficient alternative to the cumbersome air conditioning unit. Should you decide to go down the MVHR unit instead of installing an AC unit, then you can expect lower energy costs by comparison. Lower energy costs mean lower energy expenditure and an eco-friendlier option. The MVHR system uses no refrigerants and has less maintenance.
On top of all of the above, a MVHR system can provide gentle colling and better air quality throughout your home. We call that a win.
