Is Tech Making Heating and Ventilation Better or Worse?

Over the last few years technology has infiltrated almost every aspect of our lives and ventilation is certainly no exception to tech innovation. Artificial Intelligence and Smartphone integration are just a couple of ways in which heating and ventilation tech is changing. The big question is though, is emerging technology in the ventilation space really making things better? Let’s find out.

One of the things we’ve noticed in the last few years is that more and more homeowners are looking for a heating and ventilation system that can keep pace with their busy lifestyles. The ability to pre-program and operate heating and ventilation systems from a distance via Apps or Smartphones is a stark benefit to modern systems. It’s now possible to track and monitor energy usage from your phone meaning that you’ll also be able to keep a closer eye on energy usage and save money.

Although in Northern Europe Domestic MHVR Systems are rarer to come by it’s a growing concern and for several good reasons. Firstly, homeowners these days are increasingly aware of their impact on the planet and one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to ensure your home is running efficiently. In fact, homes in the UK account for 15% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions so it’s no wonder that homeowners are looking for ways to make their properties more planet-friendly. Domestic MVHR Systems work by extracting cool moist air from a home whilst retaining the already generated heat via a heat exchange unit. That way, your home will require less energy to remain well-ventilated but also maintain an ambient temperature year-round.

One of the single most infuriating problems inherent to heating systems of the past was the complexity of setting central heating timers. Fortunately, technology has come to the rescue and modern smart control systems have paved the way for a hassle-free heating future. It is now possible thanks to tech advances in heating for a system to simply learn your routine. Gone are the days of fiddling with the pins on an antiquated boiler timer as Heating systems such as Hive can ‘learn’ using the power of AI (Artificial Intelligence) exactly when you’re heating should come on.

In summary, the world of tech is changing faster than ever and the heating and ventilation industry isn’t waiting in the wings. Here at Blauberg UK, we think there are plenty of reasons to praise the technological achievements of the heating and ventilation industry over the last few years and we’re looking forward to seeing what the coming year brings in terms of development and innovation.
