Great video! Thank you for sharing. Wondeirng if there is anything that needs to be done particularly during the hot summer? What is the summer bypass feature for?
Good question - Best to direct that query to AEI.ie
Hello - how much do you charge to "balance" one of these systems that's been installed in a small new build flat? Thank you
Have this in my home for almost 3 years (Vent Axia Sentinel Kinetic Plus B). I never vacuum the filters- I just swap them out for new ones every 6 months at which time they are filthy. Also, there is another filter inside the unit called a 'cell'. I remove this every 24 months and clean it in the bathtub. Run mine at 20% airflow and it is totally silent.
Cheers, how do you get at the "Cell" to clean it?
@@clivebyrne8943 Turn off the unit at fusebox. Remove filters then remove all screws on front cover of unit then remove cover. The large internal cell filter should have a plastic strap grab that and slide the whole unit out.
@@blurayffan66 thanks for that, much appreciated . Your first comment got me thinking so I went and had a good look. I removed the cell and had a good look around. All very simple but impressive in its simpleness. I had been having a lot of running nose and sneezing in the mornings so had to investigate the unit further. The cell (which was in upside down, when compared to the arrows on the unit) was dripping wet and the fan on one side was completely full with mould. Real nasty stuff. I had to remove the fan to get all the mould off and dry out the cell at the same time. This morning, no runny nose and no sneezing. Thanks for your initial comment which gave me the nudge in the right direction.
@@clivebyrne8943 No probllem at all Clive. I am surprised the cell was wet and there was mould on one side. That should not be the case at all so I am thinking there may be a problem elsewhere or the unit/fan/system settings need to be adjusted. The first thing I would do is give everything a good clean out. The cell itself can been cleaned in a bathtub full of lukewarm water using a very mild soap. I used Milton washing up liquid (sensitive) which I bought at Tesco. Make sure the cell is completely dry before putiing it back in. Also the filters on the front of the unit should be changed every 6 months for new ones. You can buy inexpensive ones from fairair.eu if the mould/damp returns I would prob call a Vent-axia tech out to double check everything (how the system is set up in the user menu etc).
@@blurayffan66 Hi, yes I have given everything a really good cleanout and put it back together. It really was very nasty. I have new filters arriving today from fairair.eu so hopefully that will get things working properly again. The Cell has arrows on it front and back showing the correct orientation and that was in upside down (Not sure the relevance but have corrected that now). Having done the deep clean I now am familiar with the whole unit so I will be keeping a good eye on it over the next few weeks. Thanks again, your assistance and was the impetus for me to go deeper into it and find the issue.
Great informative video thanks! I had no idea what this unit does, we've never turned ours on, will be cleaning it and replacing filters asap. Does it help lower heating costs?
Good to hear. On heating costs.. Our understanding this unit is purely for the cleansing of your air; however AEI offer thermal heat pumps, solar panels, all that assist with efficient and economical heating. Suggest you head over to AEI.ie for their full range. Thanks again
@@surlookmedia ok thanks a lot for your help
It blows freezing cold air from outside - inside. All heat is gone from my house. This is good product for BIG houses, offices but not houses. Extremely loud also. You sleep beside a hair dryer for the rest of your life. Not happy with this unit at all.
Hello, how do you make to adjust the 30% normal flow rate ? To for example 15% ? Not good indicate in the manual… Thanks.
Best to direct that query to AEI.ie
We have one fan vent that is much louder than the others in a bedroom. Is there a way to turn off one fan without turning the whole unit off every time we go to bed?
As per all other response to Viewer questions - It's best to make direct contact with AEI. Thanks
Does this unit have any noticeable effect on the temperature inside a property?
Hi, better to put your question directly toward AEI.ie Cheers
thanks for the video - what model is the one you are demonstrating? Thanks
We understand it to be the Vent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic High Flow Right MVHR Unit, but to be sure maybe refer directly to AEI - www.aei.ie/contact-aei
Looks like a Sentinel Kinetic BH.
I have this model. The fan has been noisy now for 18 hours and on display it says dry out mode. Not sure what is happening with this
Hi Michael, this happens sometimes on older units. Replacing the PCB with the display on it should fix this. If you know how to use a screwdriver, you can do it yourself but I suggest you contact your installer. Grtz (I service these units in Belgium)
I have this system. I’m trying to adjust the air boost and just not happening. Who will adjust this for me pls. It’s currently 80% boost. House is getting too cold in winters. Want to bring it to lesser %
This video made me realise just how filthy my filters are. Unrecognisable from the ones in the video!
What sort of cost are we talking for 9 room including hall and 2 bathroooms 1600 sq foot house? Ballpark, PM me if you want.
Hi Muinagh. That is one directly for AEI - www.aei.ie/contact-aei Thanks
Hi can someone help me, my unit is constantly on boost mode and I cant switch it back to normal. It's quite noisy when I'm sleeping so I just completely turn it off at night. Thanks.
AEI.ie should be able to help you out with this. If you want to maybe drop them a message via their Contact Us section of their website. Cheers
I have same issue. It’s always doing 84% boost. It’s im the utility room so don’t mind the noise I just worry about electricity cost…as since I got it seems to be adding 10-15 a month to bill
Just so you know my setup, kitchen and bathroom extract and living room hallway and bedroom fresh air
@@surlookmedia I also noticed that I can never tell the extractor fans making noise or feel them taking in air…is this normal?
