What to pay attention to when choosing a recuperator?
The choice of recuperator should always be based on the type of building and the expectations of the users. For apartments and condos, limited installation space is crucial - every inch of height and buildability counts. In single-family homes or large developments, it is worth betting on a device with greater installation flexibility and a wider range of functions.
Technical parameters are also important: heat recovery efficiency, type of exchanger (standard or enthalpic), noise level, control and availability of additional functions, such as by-pass, pre-heater or integration with CO₂ sensors. Equally important is design and service support - especially for projects requiring a customized approach.

FlatAIR - compact recuperator for studios and apartments
FlatAIR is a solution designed for spaces where installation possibilities are severely limited. The unit is only 170 mm high, making it ideal for installation in false ceilings or technical niches. The available models offer capacities from 80 to 250 m³/h, allowing the unit to fit into the space of an apartment, regardless of its size.
The recuperator is equipped with a countercurrent heat exchanger - standard PET or enthalpic with moisture recovery. Maximum recovery efficiency reaches up to 97.3%, which translates into real energy savings. FlatAIR operates quietly and stably thanks to EC fans and a lightweight, well-insulated EPP housing.
A control system based on a wireless connection and mobile app makes it easy to operate and allows the unit to integrate with air quality sensors. FlatAIR is an ideal choice for apartments, condos and retrofit projects where aesthetics, silence and space savings are key.
PremAIR - a versatile air handling unit for modern homes
PremAIR is an air handling unit dedicated to single-family houses and larger apartments, where not only high efficiency, but also functionality and operating comfort are important. The unit is characterized by a compact, lightweight design (it weighs only 35 kg) and a rack with interchangeable spigots, which facilitates installation in various configurations.
Heat recovery efficiency reaches 93%, and the user can choose a version with an aluminum or enthalpy exchanger. As standard, PremAIR is equipped with by-pass, Free-cooling and Free-heating functions, which automatically respond to changes in outdoor temperature. It is controlled via a mobile app with the ability to integrate CO₂ and humidity sensors to maintain an optimal microclimate all year round.
For greater safety in winter, the system can be supplemented with an external pre-heater. PremAIR is a solution that will work well in new single-family buildings, where complexity, easy operation and advanced control capabilities are important.
FlatAIR or PremAIR - how to make the right decision?
The choice between FlatAIR and PremAIR depends primarily on the type of building and available installation space. FlatAIR is ideal for apartments, condos and retrofit projects - where installation height is limited and quiet operation and compactness are important.
The PremAIR, on the other hand, will be better suited for single-family homes and larger units, where features such as by-pass, free-cooling, flexible mounting and expandability with additional sensors and a heater are needed.
Both models offer high heat recovery efficiency, remote control and modern design, but differ in the range of applications. It is worth choosing a device not only for the square footage, but also for the expectations of the household members and the nature of the investment.
