Mechanical ventilation complements the AC system — it does not replace it. Its function is to introduce fresh outdoor air and remove stale, humid or polluted air from kitchens, bathrooms and high-humidity areas.
When You Need Independent Ventilation Beyond the AC
- Kitchen odours spreading to the rest of the home due to inadequate extraction
- Bathrooms remaining humid and odorous for extended periods after use
- Bedrooms feeling heavy and stale despite AC operation
- Home or office with insufficient natural ventilation
Ventilation and Exhaust Systems We Install
1. Kitchen Exhaust Fans and Ductwork
The fan alone is insufficient — the duct connecting it outside determines its effectiveness. A corrugated, long, or sharply-bent duct significantly reduces extraction power. In Abha, the external duct outlet is sealed against cold winter air entering when the fan is off.
2. Bathroom Exhaust Fans
A bathroom exhaust fan removes moist air and prevents humidity accumulation. In Jazan where outdoor humidity is already 80%+, an undersized fan makes no real difference. We select fans of correct capacity (in CFM) for the bathroom's size and ceiling height.
3. Balanced Mechanical Ventilation (HRV)
For higher air quality without increasing electricity costs: an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) introduces fresh outdoor air while recovering 70–80% of the extracted air's energy. Ideal for Abha where windows are opened in winter and controlled ventilation is needed.
4. Lower Floor and Basement Ventilation
Lower floors in multi-storey Abha and Khamis Mushait homes suffer from moisture accumulation and stagnant air. We install low-power exhaust fans with external air inlets to gradually refresh the air.
Ventilation System Maintenance
- Clean fan blades and protective grille: every 6 months
- Check external duct outlet for blockages or bird nesting: annually
- Check motor and current draw: annually
- Clean HRV filter: every 3 months
