Over complication of a simple process will lead to problems, simple is the new standard in a world with constant supply chain shocks & tech shortages. China is wanting to take Taiwan which is the silicon Valley of the world in chip & tech components. Access will become impossible in the coming future so dealing with product that's sourced for our side of the equator is just a smarter way to go.
Digital wall controllers look fancy but cost $700 or more just to replace the digital controller after its "1 yr" warranty should it fail. The screen displays have been a big problem. SUPERVENT's controller has been designed to be tough, reliable and seamless.
Ventilation should be simple, set & forget, but not a feature on the wall.
It should be flushing out damp air with drier air with occasional solar gain in winter.
VENTILATION SYSTEMS ARE NOT HEATERS, NO MATTER WHAT SALES PEOPLE TELL YOU.
ADD-ON HEATING UNIT'S ARE EXPENSIVE TO RUN AT 2kW & WILL ONLY TEMPER THE ROOF CAVITY AIR BY 5 DEGREES.
"DON"T USE THEM"
IF YOUR HOME IS DRIER THEN IT'S EASER TO HEAT, THE CORE TEMPERATURE WILL RISE NATURALLY.

Ventilation systems are the best & most efficient way to keep your home dry healthy as well as cheap to heat.
New Zealand has a number of different ventilation systems & in general they are all good investments.
One outlet is not good use of your ventilation system, you should have an outlet in every bedroom & living area.
Check your ducting isn't split or broken or squashed this will prevent the volume of air flow, if your outlets are in poor condition replace them, poor diffusers will not distribute the air effectively.
If you only have only one outlet or no outlets in the bedroom create new branches with SUPERCELL.CO.NZ poly tees & flex ducting with self fixing diffusers.
Remember if when doors a closed & their is no outlet in the room you lose the benefit of the dryer cleaner air.

It is now. Supervent is the latest system and has all the same quality parts and features of more expensive systems. It is super easy to install.
Prices normally start at $1358 for a 2x outlet system and go up to just $1538 for a 5 outlet system.
Landlords this is the best option to keep your rentals in tip-top shape. It doesn't matter if your tenants don't open their windows anymore, this ensures there is a constant airflow at all times. No more black ceilings rotten sills and costly repairs due to damp unhealthy environments inside your valuable asset.
Insulation only insulates the damp inside the home and installing a heat pump doesn't fix the moisture issue either. Ventilation systems are cheap to run and could save your home and its tenants from getting sick.

]]>Leading New Zealand doctor and health system disruptor Dr Lance O’Sullivan says rental properties owned by the government are in appalling third world conditions which is directly burdening the nation’s health system.
Dr O’Sullivan recently moved from Northland to Auckland and he says he thought he knew what poverty was.
“On my second day working as a GP in Auckland I was confronted by something I never thought I would see in this city.
“I met a 28-year-old solo mother who is working hard to bring up her kids and brings in her four and nine-year-old children to see me. She is a working woman raising two children on her own and doing very good job of this. Her youngest child is chronically unwell with asthma and respiratory problems. I asked her why.
“She looked at me and said ‘Dr Lance, I think my home is making my kids sick’. So, I went and looked at her home. Water was dripping inside in the bedrooms where the boys sleep. The home was cold and damp with mould on the walls and ceilings.
“I asked her who was her landlord and she told me it was Housing New Zealand. She told me that over the nine years she has lived there she has asked Housing NZ many times to fix the problems. They have been once.
“They came to wipe the mould off the ceiling and walls but they didn’t fix the problem. There’s still water dripping inside the house, making her kids sick. She told them what the problem was. She told them they needed to fix the gutters. But they said her they didn’t have the equipment. They said they would be back – and they never have.
“Today I am issuing a challenge to the Minister of Housing Phil Twyford to talk to the Minister of Health David Clark. I can’t fix these kids if they don’t fix their homes.
“I know there will be many other people with the same story so I have set a up a Facebook page #Myhousemakesmesick so other people can tell their story to the Minister of Housing.
“From that page people can email the Minister of Housing and tell him to fix their homes. So, let’s all tell the minister to do his job, fix these homes and look after the kids It is wrong to have state sanctioned diseases of poverty affecting children of News Zealand.
“This government has stated its priority around healthier homes and expectations that landlords are to meet minimum standards, but they are failing the people of this country.
“The vulnerable children of New Zealand have been widely announced that government needs to do better. Just over 12 hours since I posted that Facebook page many other people have echoed the same story of unacceptable health problems related to housing,” Dr O’Sullivan says.
]]>Hold up not so fast, if you do not have excess moisture in the home or there is air coming out the diffusers your HRV is probably fine.
To the Credit of HRV, they built the early systems well with great fans but it seems we are getting more & more calls about people being told they need to UPGRADE.
If you're unsure feel free to contact us at www.supercell.co.nz for a second opinion.
Chances are you fine if not we have the most competitive UPGRADE kits.
]]>If you create heat it will help the heat last longer, if you cool it will stop the home radiating the suns energy into the home during the day making it easier to cool.
Insulation will also trap moisture & odours VOC's which will lead to allergic reactions bacteria & dangerous mould if you don't manage the above.
During the warm-up program where many state houses and welfare dependent people got free insulation a lot of the homes developed black mould in the bedrooms & living areas. This lead to lung and other respiratory illnesses as mould will enter the airways & attach itself to the inside of your lung causing that dry cough & can lead to very serious infections & allergies.
Ventilation uses the free dry air from your roof cavity which is filtered then pushed into the home flushing out odours, moisture VOC's all day, it's a bit like folding your home inside out & putting it on the line on a nice day every day.
This means every time you or mother nature puts moisture into the home the filtered dry air will remove it so you can manage the health of your home all day every day.
This is when insulation is at it's best as the dryer home will have a warmer core temperature naturally and the insulation will help you get better efficiency from your heating & cooling.
It's a myth that insulation can dry your home or keep it dry as it cannot remove internal moisture & the same is true about heating your home.
Ventilation also can not heat & cool your home but with both ventilation & insulation it is cheaper & easier to heat & cools your home.

JANUS is 1 x Fan so 1 x filter
ARIZONA is 2 x Fans so 2 x filters
PHOENIX is 3 x fans so 3 x filters
RANGO is 4 x fans so 4 x filters
The above name does not tell you what generation the system is, PRE 2014 is the older steel fan box HRV system so generation 1 filter is needed post-2014is the newer Plastic Box HRV so generation 2 is needed

Think of it as if you folded your home or building inside out and hung it on the clothesline on a nice day every day.
It will not give you your heat in winter or cooling in summer but it will remove old stale air & damp air from wet winters or humid summers meaning the home is able to be cooled & heated easier saving money & wear + tear in household furniture clothing will be reduced greatly.
For people with allergies, you will get a higher degree of comfort.
]]>Quality parts easy installation get rid of condensation & damp for a bargain your home will never be better.

On investigation into the state of these systems, all have been in good working order but a range of things have been observed that keep repeating.
We have found units unplugged in the roof, ducts disconnected, room temp increased so the unit will not work with cooler or warmer temperatures.
All ways get a second opinion it cost nothing.
