The Vent-Axia ventilation system – how does it work?

(These systems are only found in Martin Terrace, Oliver Terrace and Pearson Terrace)

Please DO NOT switch off the Vent-Axia unit. It extracts stale moist air, odours and indoor pollutants, at the same time drawing in fresh, filtered air from outside. In winter it recovers much of the heat from the stale air and warms the incoming air, helping you save on heating costs.

The fan is set to run continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and consumes very little energy. It helps prevent the build up of moisture in the home and reduces the risk of black mould forming on walls and behind cupboards.
