Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of an enthalpy heat recovery ventilation unit?
An enthalpy heat recovery ventilation unit, such as the HEIKO HCP series, recovers both heat and moisture from exhaust air. Thanks to its advanced enthalpy heat exchanger, it helps maintain balanced indoor humidity levels, reducing the risk of excessively dry air during winter while limiting excessive moisture transfer during summer. This improves indoor comfort, supports energy efficiency and helps create a healthier indoor environment.
How do I choose the right HEIKO HCP ventilation unit for my home?
The capacity of a ventilation unit should be selected based on the building volume and the required air exchange rate. For apartments and smaller houses up to approximately 100–120 m², the HEIKO HCP 250 is typically recommended. For medium-sized homes of around 130–180 m², the HEIKO HCP 380 is a suitable choice, while larger properties above 200 m² may require the HCP 500 or HCP 680 models. A professional ventilation design is recommended for optimal performance.
How much electricity does a HEIKO HCP heat recovery ventilation unit consume?
HEIKO HCP ventilation units feature next-generation DC fans with variable-speed control, ensuring low power consumption and high energy efficiency. Compared to conventional AC motors, DC technology can significantly reduce energy usage while maintaining stable airflow. For example, the HCP 250 model has a nominal power consumption of only 62 W, contributing to lower operating costs and an energy-efficient ventilation system.
What is the purpose of the automatic bypass function in HEIKO HCP ventilation units?
The automatic bypass function allows the ventilation unit to supply fresh outdoor air without passing it through the heat exchanger when heat recovery is not required. This feature operates automatically, typically during cooler summer nights when outdoor temperatures are lower than indoor temperatures. As a result, the system provides natural night cooling, improving indoor comfort while reducing the need for air conditioning.
Which ventilation parameters can be controlled via the HEIKO SmartLife app?
HEIKO HCP ventilation units can be equipped with Wi-Fi control and managed through the SmartLife mobile app. Users can remotely adjust fan speed, create operating schedules, manage bypass settings and monitor filter maintenance alerts. The app also provides real-time monitoring of key indoor air quality parameters, including temperature, humidity, overall air quality and CO₂ concentration, ensuring full control over the ventilation system from anywhere.
