    HVS will improve your home comfort as a result of a drier, fresher, warmer and healthier environment. Although the HVS was calibrated to the size of your home, you can easily adjust the air flow to suit changing family circumstances, seasons and weather. We encourage you to experiment with the settings to better optimize the system and obtain the maximum benefit from your investment.
  • Page 3: What Problems Can Condensation Cause

    “Warm N Dry” Operating Manual What Problems Can Condensation Cause ? Condensation left untreated can promote mould, mildew growth and damage wood work, furnishings and clothing. Mould spores are known asthma and allergy triggers. Unpleasant odours are caused by damp conditions. Damp houses take more energy to heat, feel unhealthy and are unpleasant to live in.
  • Page 4: Operating Principles

    Operating Manual Operating Principles The purpose of the HVS is to ventilate your home with introduced air which is fresher and drier than the air inside your home in a controlled manner. Air from the roof space replaces stale humid air which causes condensation, which can lead to mould and damp problems, or at least to reduce them to an acceptable level.
  • Page 5: Operating Guidelines

    Typically a HVS system can achieve a significant and noticeable reduction in condensation within the first few days, certainly within 1 month. The time required will depend on a number of factors.

    If you are unsure of the best setting, please contact HVS for advice and or check the Technical section later in this document.

    SP2 could be reduced to as low as 3 degrees but home heating would need to be increased. If the condensation problem is only slight then SP2 could be set to as high as 8 degrees. HVS has determined that 5 degrees is the best setting for average to severe condensation problems.
