Installing Ventilation Extraction system

Experienced technicians and Always Available.

Welcome to Pro Air Solutions, your team of specialists for high quality ventilation extraction solutions. Good indoor air quality is important to help create a comfortable and healthy environment. Correct extraction helps remove stale, humid or contaminated air from your home and replaces it with fresh, clean air.

We work across a variety of settings including homes, offices, commercial properties and industrial sites. Each of these require unique solutions to help improve comfort, protect your building and materials and promote long term wellbeing. Whether you need a new installation or an upgrade, our reliable and efficient ventilation extraction solutions are tailored to your space.

What Is Ventilation Extraction?

Ventilation extraction is the process of mechanically removing humid, contaminated, or stale air from a building (and replacing it with fresh air). This is an integral part of modern HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, specifically to control moisture, odours and pollutants from bathrooms, kitchens, restrooms and other “wet areas”.

Extraction systems use fans, ductwork and extraction points (vent grilles) to draw indoor air and exhaust it to the outdoors. This is often paired with supply ventilation (fresh-air inlets) in balanced or heat-recovery systems.

Why Ventilation Extraction Matters

Improving Indoor Air Quality

Humid or stale air leads to mold, mildew, unpleasant odors, and even health risks. By extracting this air efficiently, you help maintain a clean, hygienic indoor environment.

Controlling Humidity

Bathrooms and kitchens are major sources of moisture. Proper extraction prevents condensation, mildew growth, and structural damage caused by dampness.

Energy Efficiency & Comfort

Extraction systems, especially when paired with balanced ventilation or heat-recovery units (HRV/WTW), allow you to maintain a comfortable climate without wasting too much energy.

Regulatory Compliance

In many buildings, mechanical ventilation and extraction are required by building regulations. Proper design ensures you meet standards for airflow, capacity, and energy usage.

Our Ventilation Extraction Services

At Pro Air Solutions, we provide a full range of services for ventilation extraction systems — from consultation and design to installation, maintenance, and upgrades.
  • Detailed assessment of your space (wet rooms, square meters, building layout)
  • Calculation of extraction capacity based on normative flow rates
  • Advice on system type: mechanical extraction only (Type C), balanced ventilation, or heat-recovery ventilation (WTW)
  • Sizing ductwork, selecting fan units, and deciding on the placement of grilles and valves
  • Professional installation of fans, ductwork, and extraction grilles
  • Compliance with Dutch building regulations and standards
  • Integration with existing HVAC systems or construction of new duct runs
  • Quality testing and balancing to ensure correct airflow
  • Regular cleaning of ducts, fans, and extraction grilles to maintain performance
  • Inspection and servicing every few years to prevent capacity loss, contamination, and inefficiency
  • Filter replacement, motor servicing, and performance calibration
  • Retrofitting older systems to more efficient ones (e.g., switching from simple extraction to demand-controlled or heat-recovery balanced ventilation)
  • Installation of smart sensors (humidity, CO₂) for demand-based extraction
  • System modernization to comply with latest regulations and improve energy performance

Types of Ventilation Extraction Systems

Here are some common types of ventilation extraction solutions we offer:
1. Type C (Extraction-only) Systems: These are basic systems. They extract air from wet areas (bathroom, kitchen, toilet) and rely on natural or passive air inlets for fresh air.
2. Demand-Controlled Extraction: These systems use sensors (for humidity, CO₂, or motion) to adjust airflow dynamically, providing better comfort and energy efficiency.
3. Balanced Ventilation (Type D): These systems both extract stale air and supply fresh air mechanically. When coupled with a heat-recovery unit (WTW/HRV), they recover heat from the outgoing air.
4. Heat-Recovery Ventilation (HRV / WTW): These systems extract used air and bring in fresh air, while recovering thermal energy from the outgoing air — leading to higher efficiency.

How We Work

Our Process

Initial Consultation : We meet (in person or virtually) to understand your needs, assess your space, and discuss your goals.

Site Survey : Our technicians perform a site inspection to measure dimensions, identify extraction points, and map duct routes.

Design & Proposal : We produce a tailored plan: layout, extraction capacity, required units, and cost estimate.

Installation : Our certified team installs the system: fans, ducts, grilles, controls, and testing.

Commissioning & Handover : Once installed, we balance the airflow, test performance, and teach you how to operate and maintain the system.

Maintenance & Service : We offer periodic cleaning, filter replacement, and preventive servicing to ensure longevity.

Why Proper Extraction Is Important

Risks of Poor Ventilation

  • Mold and Moisture : Excess humidity accumulates in bathrooms and kitchens, leading to mold growth and structural damage.
  • Poor Air Quality :Pollutants, odors, and stale air linger, harming comfort and health.
  • Reduced Efficiency : Dirty ducts or underpowered fans reduce extraction capacity over time. For example, contamination can reduce capacity by 20–30% in a few years if not maintained.
  • Higher Energy Costs: Inefficient systems or outdated fans can increase power consumption.
  • Non-Compliance: Ventilation may not meet building code or regulatory standards, causing legal or safety issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a ventilation system cost?

The cost depends on the type of system, the size of your property, and installation complexity. For example, a mechanical extraction-only system typically costs between €600 and €2,000 for installation and materials.

Ventilation is a broad term referring to the movement of air in and out of a building — it includes both supply (bringing in fresh air) and extraction (removing stale air). Extraction specifically refers to removing indoor air using mechanical means. Balanced ventilation systems manage both aspects.

Pro Air Solutions works only with trusted and high performing ventilation brands that are known for durability and efficiency. Depending on your project, we may use well established European brands that deliver strong airflow, quiet operation, and long service life. During the consultation, we guide you on the best brand and model for your specific building, ensuring reliable performance for many years.

Ventilation focuses on air renewal, while HVAC includes heating, ventilation, and cooling as a combined system. At Pro Air Solutions, we specialise in ventilation extraction and balanced ventilation solutions that improve air quality and reduce excess humidity. If needed, we also integrate our systems with your existing heating or cooling setup to ensure seamless performance across your entire indoor climate.

The 1 to 300 rule is used as a basic reference for understanding airflow needs. In simple terms, it suggests providing one extraction point for every three hundred cubic metres of air that must be moved. At Pro Air Solutions, we do not rely on generic rules alone. We calculate the correct airflow capacity based on your building size, room type, duct structure, and Dutch ventilation regulations. This ensures your system is customized for maximum effectiveness.
A well-maintained ventilation or extraction system can last 10 to 20 years or more, depending on the quality of components, motor type, and maintenance. Regular cleaning, filter replacement, and servicing are essential to prolong its life and maintain efficiency.
