The
importance
of air quality
Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
The quality of the air we breathe
affects our health and ability to
perform. We breathe in and out
approximately 20,000 litres of
air every day. It is therefore very
important to ensure good air
quality indoors through adequate
ventilation. Ventilation is the
process of air exchange to provide
the necessary air quality that meets
the needs of the occupants for clean,
fresh air. Low oxygen with high
carbon dioxide causes stuffiness
in the room and occupants can
feel drowsy. Invisible harmful
substances like a high content of
dust and tobacco smoke are harmful
and can cause various diseases. Even
bad smells can cause discomfort
or irritate the nervous system. In
summer, it’s easy to open windows
for cross ventilation, however as
winter approaches, we start to shut
up out houses to trap in the heat and
as a result, air quality can decline.
Ventilation includes both the
exchange of air to the outside as
well as circulation of air within
the building. It is one of the
most important factors for maintaining
acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In
case of poor or insufficient air intake from
outside, the oxygen content decreases,
humidity and dustiness levels increase. If
exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is
not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity
and harmful substances are not removed.
To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required air exchange for
your building requirement.
Smooth-Air offers a wide range
of ventilation equipment, from
air vents to ducting for fans,
for both the commercial and
domestic markets. They have
an extensive range of fans and
ventilation components instore
but they can also provide
innovative solutions tailored to
differing requirements.
You can contact Smooth-Air on

Are you struggling with the heat of
Summer or wanting to get organised for
Winter? With the ever changing weather
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility
of being able to heat and cool which is an
advantage no other appliance can offer. This
represents great value for your investment
as you can use it all year round. The team
at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you
cool this Summer either at home or work.
Enviro Master supplies, installs and services
all the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
With new regulations coming in for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,
now is a great time to beat the 1st of
July deadline. Inadequate heating and
ventilation can lead to mould growth and
dampness in your property, leading to
costlier maintenance and an unhealthy
living environment. Providing a fixed
heater with a higher heat output and lower
running costs, like a heat pump, will enable
your tenants to heat the area effectively.
It will also discourage them from using
unflued gas heaters which can make a
house damp and mouldy.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.
