Did you know we spend up to 80% of our time indoors? Yet for most of us, the air quality inside our homes is far from fresh. ClimateLink is bringing smart, controlled ventilation solutions to homes and businesses across the region.
We’re proud to partner with Stiebel Eltron, a company with expertise in green energy technology, specialising in heat recovery ventilation, heating, and cooling. As modern buildings are being built to increasingly airtight standards, proper ventilation is a necessity. A Stiebel Eltron heat recovery ventilation system is one of the smartest investments you can make for your space.
The benefits of choosing heat recovery ventilation include:
Today’s homes are more airtight than ever, making consistent air circulation increasingly important. Without it, you risk more than just stuffy rooms; poor ventilation can lead to mould growth, structural damage, and an unhealthy living environment.
Simply opening windows isn’t a realistic solution. To achieve truly clean and efficient air exchange through windows, you’d need to open them frequently throughout the day, often with the heating switched off. It’s inefficient, impractical, and in colder months, simply not an option.
Energy efficiency is a top priority In today's modern homes. This is especially true for low-energy houses, where an airtight building envelope is a key feature aimed at preventing heat from escaping. While this is a great energy-saving strategy, it comes with a challenging lack of natural airflow.
Even in older homes, ventilation can be a pressing issue. With the addition of thermal insulation measures, the once permeable spots like gaps in windows and doors are sealed off, reducing the inflow of fresh outdoor air. This creates a dilemma, balancing effective thermal insulation with the need for a constant supply of fresh air.

Centralised heat recovery ventilation involves the cross current heat exchanger, providing the home with a comfortable atmosphere. This filters the fresh air from outside to inside, and exhausting stale air from the house through a machine called the cross current heat exchanger, where it exchanges energy so it doesn’t lose heat. There is a remote control available and is highly energy efficient.

The decentralised heat recovery system is a small device which is effective if you are renovating. It filters in hygienic air from outside and eliminates excess moisture. The installation is fairly simple as it connects through the outside wall to the inside wall.
During the heating season, the HRV captures heat from the outgoing air and uses it to preheat the incoming fresh air. During the cooling season, an HRV can reverse this heat-exchange process, removing some of the heat from the incoming air and transferring it to the outgoing air. It does not have an active heating or cooling system like an air conditioning system.
However, windows don’t have to be opened for fresh air, which lets the indoor warmth escape. With this eliminated, the use of traditional heating or air conditioning can be minimised. HRV systems do not actively change temperatures but maintain the indoor temperature while introducing fresh, filtered air from outside, even on cold winter days. The machine provides continuous fresh, filtered air to your home while keeping up to 90% of the indoor heat inside. It is as efficient as opening a window but much less expensive.
ClimateLink installs Stiebel Eltron HRV systems, each equipped with two coarse G4 filters to protect your home from dust, mould, and pollen. The system features variable speed control ventilation stages (0 to 4) selectable directly from the wall controller, giving you full control over your indoor air flow.
To keep your system running at its best, filters should be maintained every 3 to 6 months depending on outdoor pollution levels. If they appear dirty or clogged, they can either be rinsed under cold water or replaced with new ones ordered through the Stiebel Eltron store. For those who prefer a hands-off approach, ClimateLink also offers a filter replacement service, so you never have to worry about upkeep.
It has been a long journey since I engaged ClimateLink for a HRV system. During the period, I searched a few different products, Dalibor provided professional suggestions and customised plans. Finally I settled down with a Stiebel system. I am happy with the whole process and the final installation. Highly recommend ClimateLink!
