What is mechanical ventilation?
Mechanical ventilation systems support or replace natural ventilation methods in buildings. While natural ventilation relies on pressure differences or wind to circulate air, mechanical systems use fans, ducts and filters for consistent cooling, circulation and improved indoor air quality.
These systems are ideal in any environment where natural ventilation is not available or is insufficient. They help to keep your home cool in the summer to ease the strain on your air conditioning, bring clean air into small or enclosed spaces and get rid of stale air, heat and pollutants.

What are the different types of mechanical ventilation?
Ventilation systems come in many forms, depending on what you need them for and where they're installed.
Ceiling fans
Ceiling fans help to control temperatures in individual rooms. They circulate air to lower internal temperatures, but they don't bring new air into the space.
Roof ventilation
Roof ventilation systems bring cool air from the outside into a building and push out the warm air using fans. These systems can be solar-powered to reduce your energy bills.
Ducted ventilation
Mechanical ventilators can deliver fresh air anywhere it's needed in your building through new or existing ducting.
Dehumidifiers
Humidity can cause discomfort as well as mould and mildew growth, which is a health risk. Dehumidifier systems remove moisture from the air to leave your rooms feeling dry and comfortable.
Outside air supplies
If you need to bring fresh air into a sealed space, outside air supplies use fans and filters to continually blow in clean, high quality air.
Exhaust systems
Mechanical exhaust systems vent heat, smoke, bad odours and other contaminants out of enclosed spaces to keep the local air clean.
Supply and exhaust systems are often combined to provide continuous airflow in spaces such as car parks, garbage rooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
How is mechanical ventilation installed?
Many buildings are designed with mechanical ventilation in mind, but it can also be added to most homes and commercial and industrial buildings.
When you contact Maxim Air for a free quote, our technicians will inspect your building and our consultant engineer will design the best ventilation approach based on your needs.
We can also combine natural and mechanical ventilation and integrate ventilation with your air conditioning or heating systems for improved performance and comfort all-round.
