Ventilation systems in Barcelona
Healthy microclimate and humidity control.
In the climatic conditions of the Catalan coast, where humidity often exceeds 70-80%, proper ventilation is a critical factor. HVAC - Barcelona specialises in the design and installation of ventilation systems that not only refresh the air but also protect your home from mould, mildew and excess moisture.
Why is ventilation necessary in Spanish homes?
Many homes in Barcelona, especially after renovation and installation of sealed double glazing, turn into "thermoses". Without fresh air coming in, carbon dioxide (CO2), radon and, most importantly, water vapour build up inside. This leads to black mould in corners and on slopes. Our ventilation systems solve this problem once and for all.
Energy recovery — Savings on heating and cooling
We install modern VMC (Ventilación Mecánica Controlada) systems with heat recovery.
How it works: Warm (or cool in summer) air from the room passes through a heat exchanger and transfers its energy to the incoming fresh air.
Efficiency: You retain up to 95% of the heat that would normally escape through the window. This is the perfect addition to an aerothermal system, allowing you to create a zero-energy home (Passivhau)

Types of systems we install
Centralised ventilation: A single unit (usually located on the technical floor or in a utility room) with air ducts distributed throughout all rooms. The best solution for new homes in Sant Cugat or Alella.
Decentralised recuperators (breezers): Compact devices installed directly into the wall. Ideal for flats in Eixample where it is not possible to install a network of air ducts.
Extraction systems for bathrooms and kitchens: Professional solutions for removing odours and steam.
Industrial ventilation: Design of hoods and smoke extraction systems for restaurants and cafés in Barcelona.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about ventilation:
1. How does a heat recovery unit differ from a regular fan? A heat recovery unit does not simply extract air; it returns heat back into the house, preventing draughts and heat loss.
2. Will ventilation help get rid of mould on the walls? Yes, it is the only effective way to combat condensation mould in Barcelona's humid climate.
3. How noisy are these systems? Modern units have soundproof casings and operate at 15-25 dB, which is quieter than a whisper.
4. Do I need to open the windows if I have ventilation installed? There is no need to do so. You get fresh, filtered air around the clock without dust and noise from the street.
5. How often do I need to change the filters? In urban conditions, once every 6 months. We provide maintenance and replacement of consumables.
6. Can ventilation be installed in an already renovated flat? Yes, in such cases we offer decentralised systems that require only one hole in the wall.
7. How much electricity does the VMC system consume? On average, as much as a single LED bulb (15-40 W), thanks to modern EC motors.
8. Does the system protect against allergies? Yes, the filters trap most allergens, pollen and urban dust.
9. Is ventilation necessary if you already have air conditioning? Yes. Air conditioning only cools the air inside, but does not renew it. Ventilation provides oxygen.
10. Do you work in the suburbs? Yes, we install systems all along the coast: from Sitges to Mataró.
