24.01.2022 Barkers Rd, Hawthorn Large block of flats - old building and had been extended because the ground floor flats needed bathrooms. Issue: The tenant noticed a moldy/musty smell and mold on her clothes. ... Solar Whiz identified that the problem was that the extension had poor sub-floor ventilation and had become an extremely moist and damp area. Due to the way the extension had been done is was not possible to make a proper examination of the sub-floor area. So a trap door was installed and revealed a very moist environment coupled with obvious signs of mold and rot. The ground clearance was also too small to use anything else except flat pack ducting As the room was small, only one fan was needed and vented to the outside wall. As the building was 4 stories high domestic power was used with a timer switch. Both of which were located directly under the trap door.

23.01.2022 Roof ventilation is crucial for the health of your home and has a much bigger impact than you might think. For example: - The build-up of heat can cause sky-rocketing energy costs - The build-up of moisture can cause structural damage Read more about why roof ventilation is important here:... https://bit.ly/2SXmtQ5 See more

22.01.2022 What is it about our sub-floor ventilation that makes it so great? A lot of things, but let's talk about one of them; timing. Ideally, you want to ventilate your sub-floor when the replacement air is dry. Because the temperature is higher during the day, the relative humidity is lower, so the preference would be to run your sub-floor ventilation system during the day and avoid running it during wet weather. Normally sub-floor ventilation systems are constant or timer operated, however, the most efficient way to run and control your sub floor ventilation system is to have it solar powered as this ensures it operates during the warmest and driest periods and doesn’t run during wet weather, when the sub floor fan system would actually increase the humidity under the house.

21.01.2022 New sub-floor install in Windsor The house was a completely new build and a small site in Windsor Victoria. The area was known to be a moist area and the plans called for some kind of mechanical sub-floor ventilation. The great thing about the system is that it was designed before construction commenced. In consultation between the builder, client and the architect it was agreed that two fans were needed to provide adequate ventilation and hard ducting would be used. ... The ducting was done early, BEFORE the floor went down as it saves time and money. The decision to use hard ducting ( 150mm storm water pipe) was based on: 1) Its longer life span compared to traditional flexible ducting 2) The smaller impact it would have on the fan's ability to move air 3) Its rodent resistance - won't be attacked by rodents like mice or rats One of he factors that determined the ducting layout was the location of the fans - because they needed to be somewhere accessible but also not in and area that noise might be a problem. Not an easy thing as the house is very compact. As the ground clearance was very low, the decision was made to install a trap door in the small utility room to allow access to the fans. This would ensure easy access to the fans replacement/maintenance and ensure that any noise from the fans would not interfere with the rest of the house. Rather than use solar power the decision was made to run these fans on domestic power. This was due to the difficulty in roof access and available space. This decision meant that timer switches need to be used to ensure that the fans don't run at night - which would only drag moisture-laden air into the sub-floor area. The fans and timer switches were fitted off just prior to completion.

12.01.2022 Beware: hot weather approaching! As the days get longer and the sun gets hotter, your roof space is likely to reach temperatures of up to 70C (without proper ventilation)! This heat then transfers into the living areas of your home, which means either: - turning up the air-conditioning and copping the costs, or - suffering in hot, humid and uncomfortable spaces... Fear not! Solar Whiz is the perfect solution! Operating on 0 running costs (or barely any, if you choose the option), our units reduce the temperature in your roof space by removing built-up heat and replacing it with cooler air from outside. That means that your house stays cooler AND your air-conditioning doesn't have to work so hard. Call us today for a free, no-obligation quote!

07.01.2022 23 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN A WHIRLYBIRD ON A WINDY DAY! Solar Whiz roof ventilators are the future, get your whirlybird replaced today! We believe that Solar Whiz is the most efficient solution for roof ventilation because a whirlybird will only ventilate your roof space when it's windy (and not even efficiently). Solar Whiz, on the other hand, extracts heat from your roof space whenever there is available sunlight. When the sun is out and slow-cooking your roof; that's when... you need ventilation the most! Not to mention the beauty that is a solar panel, of course. #modelshot Still not convinced?

02.01.2022 Got a tile roof? No worries, Solar Whiz can be installed without any problems!

02.01.2022 This sub-floor terrace house install from 2019 tackled a complicated under-floor space to achieve results. Terrace houses can be notoriously difficult because the sub-floor areas are often separated by foundations, which makes ventilation much less straight-forward compared to a sub-floor made up of one space. This system used a series of fans, bifurcation and some holes punched through the foundations to achieve the desired ventilation. PS: if you're renovating and have the floor in you home up, now is the best time to install a sub-floor system; it helps cut down the installation cost!

02.01.2022 "...during an epidemic, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, air should not be recirculated as far as practically possible..." Many air-conditioning and some ventilation systems use recirculated air in order to save energy. However, these systems have the capacity to be extremely dangerous in a world where Covid-19 is known to spread via airborne droplets. Recirculated air "can transport airborne contaminants (including infectious viruses) from one space and distribute th...em to other spaces connected to the same system, potentially increasing the risk of airborne infection in areas that otherwise would not have been contaminated." This article provides detailed information about why now, more than ever you should be thinking about ventilation. If you have a spare few minutes, we strongly recommend that you give it a read. https://bit.ly/2TywFPp Is your business doing everything it can to minimise the risk and spread of Covid-19? If you have neglected your building's ventilation, chances are you're putting yourself, your employees and your customers at risk. Get in contact with us today to talk about your ventilation needs!
