The appearance of mold in homes is an increasingly common issue, especially in modern buildings designed to be airtight. If you’ve noticed dark patches in the corners of your walls, near windows, or behind furniture, it’s very likely due to insufficient ventilation. When indoor air becomes stagnant and the humidity produced by everyday activities (like cooking, showering, or even just breathing) cannot escape, it creates a perfect microclimate for mold growth.

But there’s good news: if the problem stems from poor ventilation, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery is the ideal solution.

What is Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery?

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery is a system that continuously renews the air inside your home without needing to open windows. It extracts stale, humid air from rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens and replaces it with fresh, filtered, and dehumidified air from outside. In more advanced systems, like those offered by Fantini Cosmi, incoming air is also preheated by a heat recovery unit, which reduces thermal loss and improves energy efficiency.

Why does Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery fight mold?

Mold formation is often the direct result of excess humidity. With Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery this excess humidity is constantly removed, preventing it from condensing on cold wall surfaces. This keeps the indoor environment drier and healthier, drastically reducing the risk of mold, bacteria, and allergen proliferation.

A Wide Range of Models to Suit Every Need

Choosing Fantini Cosmi means relying on a leader in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery, with one of the most comprehensive product ranges on the market.

ECOCOMFORT PLUS is Fantini Cosmi’s simplest heat recovery unit model. Ready to use immediately, it’s a single-room ventilation solution that ensures a constant supply of clean air in indoor spaces (up to 35 sqm). Thanks to a high-efficiency regenerative ceramic heat exchanger (up to 90%) inside the unit, it recovers outgoing heat, significantly reducing heating and cooling costs.

This unit includes VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) sensors in addition to temperature, humidity, and light sensors. Working together, these sensors allow the unit to automatically select the most appropriate ventilation mode, ensuring optimal comfort. The heat recovery unit also features a new low-consumption DC brushless motor, a new infrared remote control, and a multicolor LED interface, all of which make installation and use simple. No configuration required.
