Finding the right ventilation solution for your home that aligns with your design aesthetic and lifestyle requirements can be tricky, but with the right retailer, you can find the perfect match.
Universal Fans is a family-owned ventilation specialist retailer with more than 20 years’ experience in ceiling fans, cooling fans, ventilation and accessories, and the national distributor of Fanco and Claro brands. By focusing only on ventilation products, the Universal Fans team have developed a high level of expertise to ensure customers are getting the best advice and support, whether for a family home or a multi-million-dollar resort.
One of their latest offerings is the Fanco Habitat Expert, which helps strike a balance between energy efficiency and comfort. The Fanco Habitat Expert is a decentralised heat recovery system that provides a constant source of fresh air to a home, maintaining indoor air quality and retaining its existing heat. The unit is designed for through-wall installation and operates in 70-second cycles, switching between intake and extraction mode. First, it extracts air through the wall for 70 seconds before switching to intake mode. On each extraction cycle, the unit retains heat from the outgoing air stream and when it switches to an intake cycle, the heat is transferred to the incoming air. The Fanco Habitat Expert also has a “Ventilation” mode that bypasses the heat exchanger, bringing fresh and filtered outdoor air inside and providing a cool breeze during the summer months.
The incredible features of the Fanco Habitat Expert offer an outstanding range of benefits for homeowners. With a high-quality ceramic accumulator that retains up to 93 per cent of heat energy, it can make a significant difference to power bills, not to mention your environmental footprint. The use of its humidity sensor helps ventilate to prevent mould and mildew, while the Wi-Fi option allows you to control a unit via smartphone as well as connect to additional units that can work in sync. By connecting them to Wi-Fi, there is no need for wiring each unit to a central place or to each other, making installation much easier, which is a unique feature in the Australian market. The Habitats can also be wired together and work in pairs, so that one unit extracts while the other replenishes, meaning the air pressure is more balanced.
For people with allergies, the Fanco Habitat Expert is a dream come true. In addition to the included G3 filter, an F8 (PM2.5 99 per cent) filter is available as an accessory. This filter can help remove fine particles from the air including smoke, car-exhaust fumes and pollen fragments — pollutants and allergens that can lead to severe respiratory problems — making the Fanco Habitat Expert a life-changer for people with asthma, hay fever and allergies. It even has an antibacterial treatment to prevent bacterial growth inside the regenerator, keeping your indoor air super healthy.
