Installation of double flow ventilation in Belgium

Double flow ventilation

Ventilation is one of the pillars of a healthy, economical, and comfortable home. When aiming for a high level of energy performance, particularly in the context of a renovation or a low-energy construction, double flow ventilation stands out as the reference solution. 

Unlike simple flow, this system allows for renewing indoor air while recovering heat from the extracted air, thus reducing thermal losses. At Avenir Rénovations Belgium, we assist you in choosing, designing, and installing a double flow ventilation system tailored to the configuration of your home, your comfort needs, and your energy goals.

Why choose a dual-flow ventilation system?

The dual-flow ventilation system simultaneously ensures the extraction of stale air and the supply of fresh air through a network of ducts and a heat exchanger. It allows for efficient ventilation while preserving the heat of the home.

Improve air quality without loss

Thanks to its filters, the dual-flow ventilation system supplies filtered air, free from dust, pollen, or outdoor pollutants. At the same time, it removes humidity and odors from service rooms. All this without opening windows and without letting in cold air.

Reduce energy loss

The heat exchanger of the dual-flow ventilation system recovers up to 90% of the heat from the extracted air to preheat the incoming air. This helps to reduce heating needs, which is essential in an energy renovation where every kWh saved counts.

Enhance daily comfort

The dual-flow ventilation system ensures a stable indoor temperature and avoids cold drafts caused by the direct entry of outdoor air. In summer, some models offer an automatic bypass function to blow cooler air during the night.

What regional aids are available for double flow ventilation?

What regional aids are available for double flow ventilation?

The installation of a double flow ventilation system is eligible for energy renovation grants if it is:

  • Part of a comprehensive project or through a housing audit
  • Installed by a certified professional
  • Accompanied by a system with certified performance

What are the advantages of a double flow VMC compared to a single flow?

Criterion Single flow VMC Double flow VMC
Incoming air Unfiltered, via frames Filtered, mechanically supplied
Heat recovery No Up to 90%
Thermal comfort Average Excellent
Energy consumption Low Moderate, but offset by thermal gain
Investment Lower Higher, but more profitable in the long run

What is the price of a double flow ventilation system in Belgium?

The cost of a double flow ventilation system is higher than that of a simple flow system due to the technical complexity, the double duct network, the heat exchanger, and specific adjustments.

Factors affecting the price

  • Surface area of the home (m²)
  • Number of outlets and circuits
  • Quality of the exchanger (efficiency, noise, control)
  • Necessary work: drilling, false ceilings, electrical supply
  • Desired filtration level (standard or anti-allergenic)
  • Accessories: sensors, thermostats, bypass, connected system

Average prices observed in Belgium

Type of double flow ventilation Average price including tax (supply + installation)
Standard system 85% efficiency 4,500 to 6,500 €
High efficiency system > 90% 6,500 to 8,500 €
Model with connected control +300 to +800 €
Complete double duct network 800 to 1,500 €
Annual maintenance (filters + inspection) 100 to 250 €

Dual-flow ventilation: installation in renovation or new build

Although more complex to integrate than a single flow system, the dual-flow ventilation system can perfectly adapt to major renovations or well-insulated homes.

  • In new builds: direct integration into the ceiling, ducts, and partitions
  • In renovations: installation in false ceilings, attics, vertical technical ducts
  • Centralized or decentralized systems depending on the housing configuration

We ensure a discreet, aesthetic installation that complies with Belgian air regulations.

FAQ – Double flow ventilation system and energy renovation in Belgium

Is the double flow ventilation system suitable for an energy renovation?

Yes. The double flow ventilation system is one of the most efficient systems for ensuring continuous ventilation without losing heat. It allows you to recover up to 90% of the calories from the extracted air, which reduces heating needs. In a well-insulated home, it directly contributes to improving the energy performance certificate and enhancing overall thermal comfort.

Can you obtain a regional grant for a double flow ventilation system?

Yes, provided that the installation meets certain criteria. In Belgium, a double flow ventilation system with a certified heat exchanger can benefit from a regional grant if:

  • It is installed as part of a comprehensive renovation project
  • It is installed by a certified professional
  • The flow rates are sized according to current standards

Available grants:

  • Housing Grant (Wallonia)
  • Renolution (Brussels)
  • Mijn Verbouwpremie (Flanders)

Our teams assist you in the preparation of your administrative file.

What is the difference between a double flow and a single flow ventilation system?

  • The single flow extracts stale air but brings in cold air through the grilles in the windows, which generates heat loss.
  • The double flow extracts stale air and supplies preheated fresh air, thanks to a heat exchanger, which greatly improves comfort and energy efficiency.

Is the double flow ventilation system silent?

Yes, if it is well installed. Modern models have soundproof boxes and insulated ducts. A good balancing of the flow rates, appropriate sizing, and fine adjustments ensure very discreet operation, even in bedrooms.

Does the double flow ventilation system require a lot of maintenance?

No, but regular maintenance is essential to ensure its performance:

  • Filter replacement: 1 to 2 times a year
  • Cleaning of vents and ducts: every 2 to 3 years
  • Inspection of the heat exchanger: periodically

We offer annual maintenance services to make management easier for you.
