Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Good reasons to install a mechanical ventilation system in Geneva
Between the humidity of bathrooms and the heat trapped by good insulation, the indoor air of a Geneva home does not renew itself well without mechanical assistance. The installation of mechanical ventilation systems in Geneva addresses this imbalance, room by room, without unnecessary heat loss.
Healthier air against humidity and mold
The climate in Geneva alternates between biting winters and stifling summers, two seasons that put indoor air to the test. Without mechanical renewal, shower steam stagnates near windows, kitchen odors settle into fabrics, and mold gains ground in cold corners.
An apartment in Lancy, a family home, or a villa in the canton often presents the same symptom: stagnant air despite new windows. The indoor air quality improves from the first days of use, thanks to efficient ventilation systems, without sacrificing the heat stored in the walls.
A mechanical ventilation system for your energy renovation
This system is primarily part of a global energy renovation approach, embraced by more and more Swiss households concerned about their consumption. A well-adjusted mechanical ventilation system prevents heat loss associated with repeatedly opening windows in the middle of winter.
At Avenir Rénovations Geneva, we consider this project as an integral part of any energy renovation, alongside heating installations, heat pumps, or solar panels. This approach focused on renewable energies reduces your energy bill in the long term, without ever sacrificing indoor comfort.
How does the installation of your VMC in Geneva proceed?
At Avenir Rénovations, we plan each technical study and every stage of the project once the quote is accepted, taking into account the systems already in place in your home, up to the final adjustments. The installation of VMC in Geneva often coincides with ongoing insulation work, to make the most of both projects carried out simultaneously.
Specifically, the process of a ventilation project always follows the same logic, regardless of the size of the home:
- a technical study to define the duct layout and choose the appropriate system
- installation of equipment, from the ventilation unit to the extraction vents
- fine adjustments of air flow, room by room
- a final check before handing over the keys
This method ensures a consistent result, without improvisation on site.
Single flow or double flow ventilation, how to decide?
Two ventilation systems are competing in the Romandy market, the economical single flow and the more efficient double flow in terms of thermal performance. The choice mainly depends on the existing insulation, the volume to be treated, and the available budget, among several possible solutions based on your housing. Our building professional studies these criteria before any installation of VMC in Geneva.
In the majority of Geneva's housing, the single flow VMC system extracts stale air from humid rooms and allows fresh air to enter through small grilles on the facade. This solution is appealing due to its low cost and quick installation, often achievable in one day. It is suitable for a well-insulated home, without requiring preheating of the incoming air. With Avenir Rénovations, you benefit from several solutions capable of withstanding the marked temperature differences between January and July under the Swiss climate. A reliable system for those seeking immediate efficiency without a large investment, with comfort gains from the first weeks.
For enhanced thermal comfort, the double flow VMC system adds an exchanger that preheats the fresh air using the heat from the extracted air, a real asset when the Geneva mercury drops below zero. Its sizing requires real precision, as each inlet and outlet must correspond to the exact volume of the served room.
Our building professional, as a true ventilation expert, applies the recommendations of the SIA 382/1 standard, the Swiss reference for new ventilation installations. Poor calibration would harm both comfort and the energy consumption of the home. This study is an integral part of the free visit offered by Avenir Rénovations before each project.
What budget should you plan for a VMC installation in Geneva?
No two projects are exactly alike, and the cost of a VMC installation in Geneva always reflects the configuration of the home. A compact apartment is much cheaper to equip than a villa spread over several levels, where the air path and energy needs become more complex.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, Avenir Rénovations offers an online simulator that provides a first estimate even before our Project Manager's visit. This initial estimate then turns into a custom, free, and detailed quote within 8 days, once the project is entrusted to our renovation company.
