Why Choose SmartVent?

What Makes SmartVent Different From Other Home Ventilation Systems? 

Choosing a home ventilation system can be confusing. Different brands offer different technologies, features, and system sizes, which can make it difficult to work out what you are comparing. 

The first step is to make sure you compare apples with apples. 

A positive pressure system and a heat recovery system may both bring fresh air into your home, but they work in different ways and suit different homes, climates and budgets. For a useful comparison, look at equivalent system types, similar room coverage, and what is included in the installation. 

Once you’ve got that sorted, it raises the obvious question. What makes SmartVent stand out? The short answer is: 

  1. A ventilation solution for almost every type of home
  2. Industry trusted ventilation expertise, built over more than 40 years
  3. Thoughtful system design, from intelligent controls to acoustically insulated ducting. 

 

Ventilation options for different homes 

SmartVent has more than 40 years of experience in the New Zealand electrical and ventilation industry. SmartVent has a range of solutions, including positive pressure, heat recovery, and through-wall ventilation systems. 

This allows us to recommend a system based on your home, budget, and what you want to achieve, whether that is reducing condensation, improving indoor air quality, or limiting heat loss. 

Many SmartVent systems are also modular. Depending on the system, you may be able to add more rooms, upgrade filtration or expand its capabilities as your home or needs change. 

 

Trusted by New Zealand electricians 

SmartVent systems are trusted and installed by electricians throughout New Zealand. 

You can use a SmartVent Accredited Installer or speak to your own preferred electrician. Our Accredited Installers have completed additional SmartVent training, while technical support is also available for electricians who may be less familiar with a particular system. 

SmartVent publishes detailed product specifications (which you can find at the back of our brochures here), making it easier for you to compare airflow, power consumption, filters, noise levels and other important features. 

If you’re ever confused about what the technical specifications mean, get in touch with us and a member of our team would be more than happy to discuss it with you.  

 

Modern, unobtrusive controls 

Your ventilation controller is something you may see and use every day, so we think it should look like it belongs in a modern home. SmartVent controllers are designed to be clean, simple and unobtrusive.  

Much of our range also includes app controls, so you can control your system from anywhere. 

 

Energy-efficient and quiet operation 

SmartVent systems are designed to provide the ventilation your home needs without running harder than necessary. 

Using some clever technology, your smartVent system will prioritize minimum airflow volumes (using the least amount of air) to achieve optimal performance, boosting only when necessary. This results in a quieter system that runs only when needed. 

For even quieter performance, most SmartVent systems also use acoustic insulated ducting in key parts of the installation. This helps reduce the noise from air traveling through the ductwork. 

 

 

Choosing the right system 

The best ventilation system depends on your home’s size, layout, location, insulation, heating, and moisture levels.
