Decentralised Ventilation

At ECS, we believe that a truly sustainable home doesn’t just save energy—it promotes a healthy, breathable environment. That is why we integrate AIRUNIT Decentralised Residential Ventilation Systems by MFH Systems into our green building and historic restoration projects.

Designed for both modern off-grid eco-homes and retrofitted historic buildings, the AIRUNIT series provides a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air without sacrificing your home’s heating efficiency.

Why Choose AIRUNIT Decentralised Ventilation?

Traditional ventilation often means letting valuable winter heat escape through the window. AIRUNIT systems utilise regenerative heat recovery (up to 99%) to keep your home’s climate perfectly balanced, reducing heating costs and completely eliminating the need for complex, space-consuming ductwork.

  • Maximum Energy Efficiency: Heat exchangers capture the heat from outgoing stale air and use it to preheat incoming fresh air.

  • Health & VOC-Free Air: Integrated filters (including optional F7 pollen filters) block dust, allergens, and pollutants, maintaining a pure indoor climate.

  • Summer Night Cooling: Capable of reversing cycles to bring in cooler night air during the hot summer months.

  • Non-Invasive Installation: Ideal for the historic restorations ECS specialises in. Installation requires minimal effort via an insulated NEOPOR® wall duct, avoiding heavy structural alterations.

Systems

AIRUNIT SOLUS 2.0

The perfect all-rounder for high-efficiency renovations and new eco-builds.

  • How it Works: It operates in a continuous two-phase cycle. Phase one extracts stale room air and transfers its warmth to the ceramic heat accumulator. Phase two reverses the airflow, drawing in fresh outdoor air that is preheated by stored energy before entering your living space.

  • Best For: Living rooms, offices, guest rooms, and continuous air quality control with nearly zero heat loss.

AIRUNIT GEMINI

A compact, highly effective system designed for areas with intensive moisture or odour generation.

  • Best For: Bathrooms, kitchens, and smaller, enclosed spaces (such as Tiny Houses or compact eco-pods).

Seamlessly Integrated into Your Eco-Home

Because AIRUNIT systems do not require complex ceiling ducting, they pair beautifully with our natural finishes—like clayworks, cork renders, and traditional lime plasters—without disrupting the architectural integrity of your space. Whether controlled via smart KNX building automation or standalone thermostats, AIRUNIT ensures your home breathes naturally.
