This Valentine’s Day we’re looking at perfect couples.
Think Salt and Pepper, Fish and Chips, Bonnie and Clyde or Ventilation and Air Conditioning. They’re a match made in heaven and we’re here to remind you why. Just like summer and the beach, when you put ventilation and air conditioning together, they make two great things even better.
Pair a SmartVent heat recovery system with a ducted heat pump or partner a SmartVent Positive system with a high wall system. Feeling rebellious? Muddle it up a little – there’s no reason you can’t pair any of the SmartVent range with air conditioning.
