It is important to know where noise in your ventilation system is coming from, before you can reduce it. A ventilation system causes air to be moved and in doing so, vibrations are released. To do this, a mechanical ventilation system is equipped with a motor that also creates vibrations. Many of these vibrations produce noise and thus annoyance. The noise level can vary from one ventilation system to another.

The lack of fresh air in a room is very unhealthy. Among other things, it leads to physical complaints that are very quickly noticeable. This blog lists the complaints caused by poor ventilation and gives tips on how to prevent them.
Research shows that incorrect CO2 and air humidity levels are often the cause of health complaints at home, in schools, offices and other spaces. Commonly mentioned are fatigue, headaches, and dry or irritated eyes. Lack of (good) ventilation is the biggest and often the only culprit.
Energy prices are skyrocketing, and decesion have to be made between eating or heating. It is time to make our homes more sustainable and thus save energy. In summer, our homes use less energy than in winter. In summer you are outside more often and the heating does not have to be switched on. In winter, we often keep the windows closed to keep the heat in, but unfortunately that is when the problems arise. There is no fresh air coming into our well insulated houses. The lack of fresh air leads to high CO2 levels, which in turn leads to various health complaints.
Improperly ventilating a home can create an unhealthy living environment and therefore result in health problems. It is interesting to know which ventilation system your home or office has, so that you can use it correctly. It could be that the incorrect use of a ventilation system will result in unnecessary costs or a deterioration of the living environment. Below we explain which types of ventilation systems can be present in your home or office. Do you want to buy a ventilation system? Then first read more about the types of ventilation systems available at Ventilationland.
We are frequently asked how one should maintain a mechanical fan or heat recovery system. This is a very good question, because for maximum benefit from your ventilation system, proper maintenance is a must. This does not require intensive maintenance but regular cleaning.
As houses are becoming increasingly airtight, there is less natural ventilation. By installing air grids, continuous and optimal ventilation is restored. When using mechanical ventilation, air grilles and valves are also needed for the supply and removal of air. Do you want to install new air vents, replace old ones or clean your air vent covers? In this article we explain the best way to go about it.
Mechanical ventilation does make noise, but what causes that noise? A frequently asked question is: "How much sound is produced by mechanical ventilation?". To describe sound we use decibels, but what is this compared to? And how much noise should a ventilation system make? You can read it here.
We are increasingly aware of the air we are in, partly because of corona. Fresh and clean air is extremely important for your health and well-being, among other things. Indoor air quality is many times worse than outdoors and therefore it is important to know what you can do about it. Air cleaners are effective in improving our living environment.
A particulate meter measures the amount of (fine) dust particles in the air, expressed in PM (Particulate Matter). Particulate matter is (dust) particles smaller than 10 micrometers (µm). The more particulate matter in the air, the more unhealthy this air is. A particulate meter displays air quality in a simple and insightful way. Good particulate meters often have multiple functions that not only measure dust particles below 10 µm but also below 2.5 µm, CO2, moisture and other volatile gases.
Winter time has already arrived and the new lockdown measures have been introduced, which means we will spend much more time at home again. We often make the mistake of opening the heating in cold weather and closing the windows and grilles in the home, this causes a major deterioration in indoor air quality. Are you curious about how you can ensure that you achieve a healthy indoor climate in your own home in winter? Read on quickly!
An air cleaner cleans the air in a room of viruses and other harmful particles such as pollen, dust and bacteria. The use of an air cleaner ensures a healthy working and/or living environment. To ensure that the air cleaner continues to do its work optimally, it is important to clean the air cleaner in time. In this blog we will take you step by step through the cleaning of your air purifier.
Even if you think the outside air is more polluted than the air inside your home, you need to ventilate. This is because indoor air is almost always more polluted than outdoor air. Do you live on a busy road or near an industrial area? Then only open the windows and doors that are as far away from these as possible. This will ensure that the cleanest air can enter your home. In addition, it is important to ventilate throughout the year. It is important to ventilate in the winter because windows and doors are closed, the heating is higher and we are home more. In summer, it is smart to turn off the ventilation system on warm days during the day, as it is not pleasant to get warm air inside. When you turn the system on again in the evening you bring fresh cold air into the house.
Many people underestimate the power of good ventilation in the home, while continuously ventilating your home, office and business premises will benefit your health. Do you feel like you are starting to get tired, have poor concentration, get headaches or feel stuffy inside? Then it's time to get some fresh air. However, you do not need to go outside for this, this can be done simply by natural or mechanical ventilation in your home, school or office.
The colder it gets outside, the drier the air inside will be. The heating will turn on more often, making the relative humidity lower and lower; ideal conditions for a virus.
Ventilation is necessary to create a healthy living environment. In damp rooms like the bathroom, good ventilation is extra important. This prevents health problems, but also problems such as strange odours, slipperiness, condensation and moisture problems including mould. Mould mainly grows in damp places and is not always visible. You can get rid of mould with baking soda, bleach or more persistent anti-fungal sprays, but this is only a short-term solution. To prevent mould and tackle it at its cause, it is necessary to ventilate the bathroom all year round. Moist air should especially not linger too long, especially if you like to take nice long showers.
