Heat Recovery Ventilators: frequently asked questions

What does a heat recovery ventilator do in a UAE home?+

A heat recovery ventilator brings fresh outdoor air in while extracting stale indoor air, passing both streams through a heat exchanger. In the UAE climate this helps limit how much heat enters with the fresh air, so you can ventilate without undoing much of your air conditioning's work.

What is the difference between an enthalpy exchanger and a standard heat exchanger?+

An enthalpy exchanger, as used in the Helty Flow Plus MY25 and Flow Easy MY25, transfers moisture as well as heat between the air streams. This can help with humidity as well as temperature. The Prana models use a copper heat exchanger, while the BSK Zephyr uses a ceramic heat recovery element with alternating airflow.

Can I control these ventilators from my phone?+

Yes, several can. The Helty Flow Plus MY25 and BSK Zephyr have Wi-Fi, and the Prana 150 ERP and 200C ERP ranges offer app control of supply and extract airflow, with Premium and Premium Plus versions also supporting remote control. The Helty Flow Easy MY25 uses a remote control.

What size room is a Helty unit suitable for?+

The Helty Flow Plus MY25 provides up to 42 m³/h of airflow and is described for rooms up to 20 m², with 4+1 speeds. The more compact Helty Flow Easy MY25 delivers 30 m³/h with 2 speeds. Both use F7 and G4 filters.

What filters do these ventilators use?+

The Helty Flow Plus MY25 and Flow Easy MY25 use F7 and G4 filters, while the Prana 150 ERP and 200C ERP models use G3 filters. Filters should be checked and cleaned or replaced regularly, especially in dusty conditions.

Do I need an electrician to install a heat recovery ventilator?+

These are decentralised wall units that typically need a hole through an external wall and a power connection. Any fixed wiring should be done by a qualified electrician following local authority rules (DEWA, ADDC/AADC or SEWA). Tenants should get written landlord approval before making alterations.

The air we breathe indoors has a lasting effect on our health and comfort. With outdoor pollution, dust and sealed, air-conditioned homes common across the UAE, a controlled ventilation system is becoming an essential part of a modern home. A heat recovery ventilator brings in fresh air while recovering energy from the outgoing air, helping to reduce energy waste and manage indoor humidity.

We offer Prana ventilation systems, designed for efficient energy recovery and a steady supply of clean, fresh air. They are straightforward to install and can be controlled through a smartphone app, so you can adjust airflow from anywhere.

When choosing a unit, consider:

  • The size of the room or area you want to ventilate
  • Wall thickness and installation location
  • App control and integration with your smart home
  • Noise levels for bedrooms and offices
