Cost calculationIf excess humidity could be banished with a wave of a magic wand, wet windows and dark patches in the corners would have stayed in fairy tales long ago. In real life, home comfort has a very simple secret – regular air exchange.
01Where does dampness at home come from?
Every day we cook, shower, dry laundry and simply breathe – and all of this adds moisture to the air. Airtight windows and well-sealed doors help keep the heat in, but they also limit the natural inflow of air through gaps.
When ventilation is insufficient, moisture builds up. Condensation may form on cold glass, while walls and window reveals that stay damp for a long time become a breeding ground for mold.
Wet windows are a signal to check the humidity, ventilation and surface temperatures in the room.
02The PRANA magic: how does it work?
A PRANA recuperator combines three things in one unit that together keep humidity under control:
Supply and exhaust
It supplies fresh outdoor air and removes stale air at the same time. In the cold season, this helps remove the excess moisture from everyday activities.
Copper heat exchanger
The copper heat exchanger transfers heat from the exhaust air to the supply air – part of the heat that would escape through an open window stays at home.
Automatic mode
Models with a humidity sensor and AUTO mode respond to humidity changes and adjust their operating intensity on their own.
03Will mold disappear on its own?
A recuperator helps reduce excess humidity, but existing mold has to be removed and the cause of the dampness eliminated. If the problem is caused by leaks, freezing walls or poor insulation, ventilation alone will not be enough.
The best results come from a comprehensive approach:
- Working ventilation
- Adequate heating
- Eliminating the sources of dampness
Leave the spells to your favorite stories and trust PRANA with your everyday air exchange.
