EnviroVent,
one of the UK’s leading ventilation designers and manufacturers, has reached a
milestone by selling 1,300 ventilation units to Tees Valley-based Thirteen in
just 13 months.
This
latest milestone coincides with Thirteen confirming that EnviroVent has
successfully secured a five-year agreement to provide both Positive Input
Ventilation (PIV) systems and its Filterless Infinity Fans for its homes.
Thirteen
carried out an in-depth ventilation review where it tested out a number of
different ventilation systems and EnviroVent’s products were found to be the
most effective. The landlord and developer also recognised that
contracting with EnviroVent meant longer warranties on ventilation products,
technical support and surveys all as part of the package.
EnviroVent
will install PIV units or Infinity Fans on any properties that are having
energy efficient upgrades, such as External Wall Insulation (EWI) schemes.
Jonathan
Hodgeon, EnviroVent Ventilation Specialist, said: “We are delighted that
we have been able to secure a further five year agreement with Thirteen.
We have worked with the company for a number of years and, where there have
been issues with condensation and mould growth, we’ve been able to provide
effective solutions. Thirteen clearly recognises how installing new
ventilation units needs to go hand in hand with carrying out energy efficient
upgrades, which reduces the burden on their maintenance teams.”
By
contracting with EnviroVent, Thirteen, which has a stock of around 34,000
properties, is taking a proactive approach to ventilation in order to protect
residents’ health and the fabric of buildings.
The PIV
units will be fitted in the central hallway or in the loft space, providing
whole house ventilation. These units take advantage of the benefits of solar
gain from within the loft space, which results in a relative saving of around
150 Watts per day in an average modern family home. This equates to
approximately 10% of annual heating costs.
EnviroVent’s
PIV loft mounted units help to redistribute heat around the home and thus
reduce space heating costs. Where Filterless Infinity Fans are fitted,
residents will benefit from excellent performance, low maintenance and whisper
quiet running. These units are fitting individually in kitchens,
bathrooms and other wet rooms.
Paul
Kirton, Designer for Thirteen, said: “We’re pleased to be extending our
agreement with EnviroVent, as part of improving air quality and eliminating
condensation and mould growth in our properties. We were looking for a managed
ventilation solution that would work for the long term and that offered low
maintenance, which is exactly what we get with EnviroVent. We also wanted
a solution that we could ‘fit and forget’ and where, if issues need resolving,
the supplier would work in partnership with us to do this. EnviroVent provides
us with a highly effective ventilation solution that meets our service level
requirements.”
Thirteen
will be taking advantage of EnviroVent’s extended warranty, which covers any
maintenance and parts on the units for seven years.
Paul
added: “We find EnviroVent offers excellent levels of customer service, with
its technical team available if we have any queries. We monitor how the
units are working and residents are happy as once an EnviroVent unit is fitted,
they don’t normally experience any further issues with condensation or mould in
their homes.”
