VMC installation in Wavre

Breathe better in your renovated home in Wavre

In a well-insulated home, mechanical ventilation is not an option: it is the link that completes the renovation. Integrate it from the project's design to avoid having to rework all the ducts later. Avenir Rénovations analyzes your situation and sizes the appropriate system.

Mechanical ventilation and energy renovation in Wavre: an integrated approach

In Wavre, most ambitious energy renovation projects combine envelope insulation, heating system replacement, and mechanical ventilation installation. These three interventions form a coherent system. Insulating without ventilating creates an airtight box where air deteriorates. Ventilating without insulating heats the air that is immediately expelled. Avenir Rénovations designs these projects holistically, integrating ventilation from the earliest architectural decisions.

Maintenance of mechanical ventilation: what to do

A mechanical ventilation system requires minimal but regular maintenance to remain effective. Extraction vents should be cleaned once or twice a year to prevent dust accumulation that reduces airflow. The filter of the central unit (on dual-flow systems) should be replaced every six to twelve months according to the manufacturer. Avenir Rénovations provides maintenance instructions upon commissioning and can offer an annual maintenance contract if desired.

Mechanical ventilation and acoustics: limiting noise disturbances

A poorly sized or improperly installed mechanical ventilation system can generate noise disturbances: humming from the central unit, whistling from vents with too high a flow rate, noise transmission through ducts. Avenir Rénovations addresses acoustics from the design stage: soundproofed central unit, acoustically insulated ducts, limited airspeed in vents, large-radius bends to avoid turbulence. The result is ventilation that you do not hear.

VMC in Wavre: Frequently Asked Questions

Can a VMC be installed in an old house?

Yes. Avenir Rénovations installs VMCs in existing houses in Wavre from all eras and configurations. The integration of ducts is more complex than in new construction, but installation techniques in false ceilings, under floors, or integrated exposed ducts allow for handling the vast majority of situations without disproportionate demolition.

Is a VMC necessary if the house has poorly sealed frames?

Old poorly sealed frames ensure unintentional natural air renewal. But this renewal is uncontrolled: it varies with the wind, creates drafts, and generates thermal losses. If you replace your frames with modern triple-glazed windows, the VMC becomes essential from that moment on. Anticipating its installation at the same time as the frame replacement is more economical and avoids reopening finishes.
