What is the difference between ventilation system C and D?

System C mechanically extracts stale air and brings in fresh air through vents. System D does this in a balanced way and adds heat recovery, saving you energy. System D is more expensive to purchase, but it pays off in the long run.

How often should I replace the filters of my ventilation system?

For most units, you replace the filters at least once a year, or more often if you live in a dusty environment. Dirty filters reduce air quality and increase consumption.

Can I install a ventilation system myself?

It is not advisable. Proper installation requires knowledge of air extraction, ductwork, and construction engineering. Mistakes can lead to moisture problems or noise nuisance.

How do I recognize a poorly functioning ventilation system?

Signals are condensation on windows, musty odors, mold spots, or a continuously stuffy feeling. Have it checked by a certified installer.

Is a ventilation system mandatory in new-build homes?

Yes, the EPB regulations in Flanders require a ventilation system that meets certain standards. For renovations it is strongly recommended.

Can a ventilation system also cool in the summer?

Standard systems only ventilate, but some type D systems can preheat or cool the air with a ground pipe or integrated heat pump. Discuss the possibilities.

An installer who truly understands your home

Why good ventilation in Antwerp is not a luxury

Antwerp has thousands of homes and apartments, each with its own indoor climate. Whether you live in a renovated townhouse in Zurenborg or a new build in Linkeroever, without a proper ventilation system, moisture, pollen and CO2 build up. This leads to mold, musty air and health problems. An installer who knows the city understands that each type of building breathes differently.

Which ventilation system suits your situation?

Not every system is suitable for every home. Together we will assess whether a ventilation system type C with natural supply and mechanical exhaust is sufficient, or whether you are better off with a system D with heat recovery. For commercial spaces, we consider higher flow rates and specific controls.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about ventilation in Antwerp

What does a ventilation system cost in Antwerp?

For an average terraced house in Antwerp, you should count on an investment between 2,500 and 5,000 euros, depending on the type and required modifications. Our site visit makes the price clear.

How much subsidy can I get for a ventilation system?

Through Mijn VerbouwPremie you can get up to 50% back on the invoice for a ventilation system D, depending on your income and the number of works performed. We go over what is possible for you during the site visit.

How long does the installation of a ventilation system take?

In most cases, the installation is completed in one to two days, provided the home is sufficiently accessible. We coordinate everything with you in advance, so you know what to expect.

Do I need to maintain my ventilation system?

Yes, for optimum operation and longer lifespan. Filters should be replaced annually, and after a few years it is best to have the ducts cleaned. Our maintenance service helps you with that.

Which ventilation system is best for an old Antwerp house?

Older houses often have single glazing and are less airtight. System C is then often the best choice because it is less invasive. We look at your specific situation on site.
