Spring is often associated with a thorough clean-up: washing windows, dusting, tidying up, airing out rooms\u2026 Yet one essential part of the home is still too often overlooked: the ventilation system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Air inlets and exhaust vents nevertheless play a key role in Indoor Air Quality <\/strong>and occupant comfort. Like any equipment used daily, they require regular maintenance to retain their full efficiency.<\/p>\n

Spring cleaning is therefore the perfect opportunity to adopt the right maintenance habits.<\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/span><\/h5>
Why maintain your ventilation system?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Over time, dust, particles, and impurities can accumulate on ventilation components. Without proper maintenance, this can affect air circulation and reduce system performance.<\/p>\n

Regular cleaning helps to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Preserve Indoor Air Quality:<\/strong> by limiting the build-up of dust and impurities while ensuring efficient air renewal throughout the home.<\/li>\n
  • Maintain optimal airflow:<\/strong> clean equipment ensures proper air circulation and allows the system to operate under the intended conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Reduce discomfort caused by humidity: <\/strong>a properly maintained ventilation system helps remove moisture more effectively and reduces the feeling of stale or stuffy air.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure long-term equipment performance:<\/strong> regular maintenance helps preserve system efficiency and extend the lifespan of the equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
     

    <\/div>\n
    Which equipment is concerned?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

    Maintenance applies to all components involved in air renewal within the home, including:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Self-regulating air inlets and extract vents<\/li>\n
    • Humidity-controlled air inlets and extract vents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
       <\/div>\n

      Each piece of equipment requires specific maintenance actions to preserve its proper operation and long-term performance.<\/p>

      Best practices to remember<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

      Air inlets<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

      Annual maintenance of air inlets is recommended.<\/p>\n

      Maintenance steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Remove the cover<\/li>\n
      2. Clean the components with a damp cloth<\/li>\n
      3. Reassemble the unit correctly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
         <\/div>\n

        Precautions to follow:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Do not immerse components containing foam in water<\/li>\n
        • Do not disassemble the regulation systems<\/li>\n
        • Do not disassemble the flap or the humidity-controlled operating system<\/li>\n
        • Clean certain base units without removing them from the framework<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
           <\/div>\n

          These precautions help maintain the proper operation and performance of the equipment.<\/p>\n

          Extract vents<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

          Extract vents require more regular maintenance, ideally twice a year.<\/p>\n

          Maintenance steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Remove the grille and the regulation module<\/li>\n
          2. Clean the various components<\/li>\n
          3. Rinse and then correctly reposition the components<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
             <\/div>\n

            Precautions to follow:<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Ensure that electrically connected vents are not live before any intervention<\/li>\n
            • Ensure correct positioning of flaps and actuators during reassembly to guarantee the proper functioning of the humidity-controlled system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
