Frequently asked questions about Aircare CMV

All the answers you are looking for about Aircare.

From choosing the most suitable system for your home to understanding how controlled mechanical ventilation works, from installation to app-based control: discover everything you need to know about Aircare CMV solutions.

AIRCARE AND CMV
What is controlled mechanical ventilation? +

Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) continuously renews indoor air in a controlled manner, helping improve indoor air quality and living comfort.

Why is it important to continuously renew the air at home? +

Continuous air exchange helps manage humidity, condensation and substances present in the indoor environment. Aircare is designed to ensure constant, effective and quiet air exchange.

What is the difference between ducted and decentralized CMV? +

Aircare is a decentralized CMV solution: it does not require a ductwork network distributed throughout the building and can be installed directly in the rooms concerned, with different integration options depending on the characteristics of the building.

Does Aircare also help control humidity? +

Yes. Aircare is designed to manage air exchange and contribute to controlling indoor humidity. Proper ventilation also helps reduce conditions conducive to the formation of condensation and mould.

Can Aircare help prevent mould and condensation? +

Continuous and controlled air exchange helps manage indoor humidity and reduce conditions conducive to the formation of condensation and mould. Aircare was also designed with this goal in mind.

Do I still need to open the windows if I install Aircare? +

Aircare ensures continuous air exchange without the need to open the windows to normally ventilate the rooms. Windows can of course be opened whenever desired.

WHICH SOLUTION TO CHOOSE
I am renovating my home: which Aircare is the most suitable? +

It depends on the characteristics of the renovation and the available space. Aircare can be wall-mounted, recessed or integrated into the window frame. The wall-mounted solution is particularly suitable for existing buildings because it requires just two core drillings and minimizes invasive work.

I am replacing my windows: which solution is the most suitable? +

When replacing the window frames, it is possible to consider the Aircare solution integrated into the window frame. This configuration is designed to be installed during window replacement and does not require additional masonry work.

I am building a new home: which installation options can I choose? +

In a new build, different configurations can be considered. Aircare can be wall-mounted, recessed or integrated into the window frame, depending on the project, available space and the architectural requirements of the building.

What is the difference between wall-mounted, recessed and window-fitted Aircare? +

The main difference lies in how the system is integrated into the building. The wall-mounted version is installed on the perimeter wall and requires two core drillings. The recessed version is installed in the subframe, wall, shutter box or monobloc frame. The window-fitted version is integrated directly into the window frame during its replacement.

Does the wall-mounted CMV require invasive masonry work? +

The wall-mounted solution is designed for quick and simple installation. Standard installation requires two core drillings in the perimeter wall, minimizing masonry work.

Where can the recessed solution be installed? +

The recessed solution can be installed in the subframe, wall or, depending on the available space, in the shutter box or monobloc frame.

Does the window-fitted solution require work on the wall? +

The window-fitted solution is designed to be installed during window replacement and does not require additional masonry work.

PERFORMANCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Does Aircare recover heat from the extracted air? +

Yes. Aircare uses an enthalpy heat exchanger to recover thermal energy from the extracted air, contributing to the energy efficiency of the system. The Aircare range offers heat recovery of up to 82%.

What is an enthalpy heat exchanger? +

It is the heat exchanger that recovers thermal energy from the extracted air while also managing moisture transfer between the airflows, contributing to indoor comfort.

Does Aircare also filter dust and particulate matter? +

Yes. Aircare is equipped with filtration systems designed to improve the quality of the air supplied to the room. The technical documentation also indicates the ability to capture particulate matter, pollen, dust mites, spores and bacteria above certain sizes.

Is the Aircare CMV noisy? +

Aircare is designed to ensure constant and quiet air exchange, thanks to reduced airflow rates and low air outlet speeds. Specific acoustic performance depends on the model and installation configuration.

What is the difference between Aircare Light and Plus? +

Both solutions are designed to provide continuous ventilation, heat recovery and air filtration. Aircare Light focuses on ease of use, with remote control. Aircare Plus adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, app, LCD display and sensors for temperature, humidity and air quality.

What operating modes can I set? +

Via app or remote control, depending on the model, compatible devices allow you to select Manual, Auto and Bypass modes and set the desired speed. In Manual mode, levels from 0 to 5 are available.

APP AND SMART CONTROL
What functions can I control via the app? +

For compatible devices, the app allows you to manage CMV modes and speeds and view information on air quality, indoor and outdoor temperature, relative humidity, eCO₂, TVOC and filter wear status.

Can I control Aircare when I’m away from home? +

ES Plus integrates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and can be managed via the app from a smartphone or tablet. This allows you to control the system without having to operate the unit directly.

Can I schedule the operation of the CMV? +

Yes, for compatible devices. The app allows you to create schedules and scenarios by setting conditions such as times, days, humidity, presence at home and sunrise/sunset cycles.

Can I monitor air quality in real time? +

ES Plus features sensors for environmental monitoring. Through the app, you can view information on air quality, temperature, humidity, eCO₂ and TVOC.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
How long does installation take? +

Aircare is designed for simple and fast installation. The actual installation time depends on the solution chosen, the characteristics of the building and the site conditions.

Can Aircare be installed during a renovation? +

Yes. Aircare is also designed for renovations and allows you to choose from different installation configurations depending on the work planned for the building.

How is filter maintenance managed? +

The filter unit’s wear status can be viewed in the app on compatible devices. When the filter requires cleaning or replacement, the system can automatically operate at the minimum speed set for the device.

Is it necessary to install a unit in every room? +

The CMV configuration must be assessed based on the building, the rooms and the air exchange requirements. The number and positioning of the units therefore depend on the ventilation design.

AIRCARE EXTRACTORS AE
What are Aircare AE extractors used for? +

Aircare AE extractors are designed for rapid extraction of humidity and odours, particularly in rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens. They are designed as a complement to Aircare ES systems.

What is the difference between Aircare ES and Aircare AE? +

Aircare ES is an air exchange system with heat recovery and filtration, designed for continuous air renewal. Aircare AE, on the other hand, is a decentralized extraction system designed to quickly remove humidity and odours and is the ideal complement to Aircare ES.

Where can AE extractors be installed? +

The AE range includes a recessed solution, which can be installed in the subframe or perimeter wall, and a wall-mounted or glass-mounted solution designed particularly for smaller rooms.

QUALITY AND CERTIFICATIONS
Is Aircare certified? +

Aircare has been awarded the CasaClima Quality Seal and has undergone rigorous testing and certification by TÜV SÜD. The documentation and certificates are available in the Download section of the Thesan website.

Where can I find the technical data sheets and certificates? +

All available documentation, including catalogues, technical data sheets, certifications, warranties, installation manuals and app guides, is collected in the Download section of the Thesan website.
