We recently launched new versions of our Humidity Ventilation Systems (HCS) for basements and crawlspaces. But before we can explain the technology behind the HCS, let us first take a look at our previous model, the Humidity Control Ventilation (HCV), to see where improvement was needed.
HCV
Our HCV models are “intelligent” machines capable of analyzing the humidity level at the point where they are installed, usually at the lowest point in your home as this is where humidity tends to be at its highest.
The HCV unit will know when to start and stop in order to keep the humidity level within a comfortable range. It will even analyze previous conditions in order to optimize your basement or crawlspace air quality. Not bad for a machine!
However, with the HCV units, the air is only analyzed once it arrives in the basement, which can cause fluctuations in the humidity levels. In order to push the concept of comfort even further, the HCS has been designed to reduce these fluctuations.
HCS
Our new HCS systems are equipped with two sensors. One is installed on the first floor of your house and the second one inside the unit, located in the basement. These 2 sensors allow the unit to gather humidity and temperature levels at 2 very important locations. It then analyzes this data to improve its effectiveness in maintaining the desired humidity level.
The biggest advantage of our HCS systems is the consistency in humidity levels all over your home - no spikes, no lows. Since humidity levels are a major factor when it comes to comfort, our new digital systems can be a real asset in making sure you enjoy your home.
