Kair Smart 100mm Intelligent Extractor Fan with Humidistat Timer and Data Logger (Smart Fan)

Product Information

The App controlled Vent Axia Svara is one of a kind. This unique fan offers a one stop fan for almost all installations and is one of the most interesting fans we've ever tested. If the fan is set in the bathroom or lavatory, it is quite possible that you will need a timer that makes the fan operate and turns it off automatically even after you have left the room. Humidity sensor will turn the fan on when the level of moisture exceeds the set one. For kitchen or other premises you can use a fan with pull-cord switch for short-term air extraction. A humidistat is a device that measures the level of humidity in the air. When it is installed on an extractor fan, it helps to regulate the amount of moisture in a room or space by automatically turning the fan on or off depending on the humidity level. When the humidity is high, the humidistat will activate the fan to remove excess moisture from the air, which can help prevent mould and mildew growth, reduce odours, and improve indoor air quality. The humidistat also helps to save energy by only running the fan when it is needed, rather than constantly running it at full speed. Overall, the addition of a humidistat to an extractor fan can help to create a more comfortable and healthy living environment. Should I get a bathroom fan with a humidity sensor? The PureAir Sense comes with two spigots (or sleeves): one for standard 100mm installation and another for larger 125mm portals. The larger spigot is the one to fit if you want to benefit from its excellent 39l per second flow rate. That said, its standard 32l per second flow rate is still better than most and easily good enough for the majority of bathroom installations. This model comes in four variations, each with different extras like a Timer, Pull Cord and Humidistat. The variation with a Timer and Humidistat is the most expensive option, but one well worth looking into.

If you don’t already have a fan, you’ll need to get in a qualified builder to make the hole and install the wiring. Be aware that there are regulations governing where your fan can be located: if you want to put a fan in Zone 1 (the area within a shower or 2.25m above a bath) or Zone 2 (60cm from Zone 1), it must be a low-voltage SELV fan with a transformer, or an AC-powered model that’s IPX5-certified. Most of our recommendations below are intended for use outside of Zone 2, but the layout of your bathroom may dictate your options. Using the PureAir Sense is incredibly easy thanks to the Connect App or the touch controls on the front of the fascia. In summary, we highly recommend this fan! The Svara is one of the most powerful, most energy efficient and quietest four inch axial fans available from in the UK and if you love your gadgets, this is the fan for you.

Humidity extractor fans can be very effective in reducing excess moisture in a room or area. They work by drawing in humid air and expelling it outside, which can help prevent mould growth, reduce the risk of respiratory problems, and improve overall air quality. However, the effectiveness of a humidity extractor fan depends on several factors, such as the size of the fan, the size of the room, and how often the fan is used. It is also important to properly maintain the fan, including regularly cleaning the filters and ensuring that it is installed correctly. Overall, humidity extractor fans can be a useful tool in managing humidity levels, but it is important to do your research and choose a high-quality fan that is appropriate for your specific needs. Installation couldn’t be easier either with the fan being set up by default from the factory. This means for most projects it’s just a case of fitting with minimal time adjusting settings. The app also makesinstallation for Electricians simple by providing options for intermittent or continuous ventilation; humidistat trigger options and overrun timer settings. Simplified control of all Blauberg decentralised heat recovery ventilators can be linked to your home automation system as standard. Odour Sense Technology is designed to improve the air we breathe in our homes. A sensor increases airflow when the air quality is poor or when strong odours are detected. This ensures you always have a comfortable living environment.

For electricians, installation is made simple through Svara’s Bluetooth-enabled App allowing you to choose whether to opt for intermittent or continuous ventilation; whether you would like the humidistat to trigger operation or not; and whether the overrun timer is required. No more fiddly switches and jumpers! The unit is specially designed to prevent dampness and mould growth, and it does this with a level of quietness you might not expect for an extractor fan of this size and power. This truly is a textbook example of getting what you pay for, that’s for sure. So, oddly, we actually would classify this fan as being good value despite the premium price tag; it definitely earns this plaudit. Pros:

Building regulations require that a domestic bathroom fan must extract a minimum of 15 litres per second. However, almost all extractors on the market exceed this and average 21-25 litres per second. There are even some models that go as high as 68 litres per second. Even if your fan doesn’t wake anyone, it might simply be an annoying sound. If you’re unwinding in the bath after a long day, the last thing you want is the drone of the extractor fan running.
