The Aerofresh product range

Aerofresh ventilation systems represent a new generation of heat recovery technology. They are designed and engineered to improve indoor air quality and create healthier more comfortable indoor environments across small to large homes. Available in both decentralised and centralised configurations, the range offers flexible solutions tailored to different property types and project requirements. Each unit delivers a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air while operating quietly and minimising power consumption, supporting both occupant wellbeing and energy efficiency goals.

Manufactured in Europe, Aerofresh systems combine innovative design with reliable, low-maintenance performance. By capturing heat energy that would normally be lost through exhaust air, and transferring it to the incoming fresh air stream, the units maximise thermal comfort while reducing overall energy usage. Their intuitive, user-friendly controls make day-to-day operation straightforward for homeowners.

The centralised units feature a high-efficiency counter-flow heat exchanger delivering thermal efficiencies of up to 90 percent. Advanced filtration (G4 and F7), integral humidity and temperature sensors, and constant volume flow control ensure optimal indoor air quality in all seasons. With smart app-based controls, wireless-enabled sensors, automatic summer bypass, Modbus connectivity, and Passivhaus-certified performance, Aerofresh provides a future-ready ventilation solution for energy-efficient living.
