Do You Need A Ventilation Design?

It might be tempting to get a ventilation design for every project, but it’s not necessarily the most efficient option. That’s why we offer home assessments and ventilation designs. If you'd like to find out more about getting a design and the process read on below. Otherwise, here are our suggestions about which are best for your circumstances:

If you aren’t sure, feel free to contact us, and our team can offer you additional guidance. 

Installing in an existing home?

Our ventilation experts suggest booking a home assessment and discussing your project with one of our accredited installers. 

Being physically on site will allow our installer to get a more accurate picture of your space, so they can select the best system for your needs. Depending on the house and complexity of the space, the installer may still suggest you get a design (read on for why).

Building a new home?

If you are building new, our design service is here to help! The SmartVent design team will use your house plans to create a home ventilation system design to suit your home and needs.

We help ensure compliance with relevant codes & standards like G4, Healthy Homes, Homestar and HANA/HBNA so your building consent process goes smoothly. 

Who Do We Help?

Our design service helps create ventilation plans for a variety of users. It doesn't matter if you are an architect, builder, electrician, or homeowner, our team can help.

We create designs for any type of residential home, ranging from standalone homes, to terraced homes, to apartments. We also design for both low and high permeability/ airtightness properties.

What Is A Complex Design?

Sometimes, a home doesn't easily fit a ventilation system or ducting, or a project has limited access to roof and wall space. Complex designs are typically found in architectural homes, cathedral/ skillion roofs, properties with a small or no roof cavity, multi storey buildings, and high-end homes.

If your project requires a complex ventilation design, or has building code compliance requirements, our team are happy to help.
