Question: Our ventilation system is running faster at night time, is there something wrong?

​Answer: Typically at this time of the year your home gets very hot and humid during the daytime, there is no point in bringing even more hot air down from the ceiling so the fan is operating very slow and in many cases will automatically switch off. Later into the evening and at night the ceiling cavity cools down and at some point the temperature in the ceiling will be lower than the temperature in the house. If you have your desired or target temperature lower than the current inside temperature then at this point the fan will increase in speed to bring the 'cooler' air down into the home to cool it down from its current temperature. Be mindfull that this will start happening when the ceiling temp is lower than the house temp, even at only 1 degree lower. This air typically will be less humid as well so it makes for a more comfortable environment than being hot and sticky, great for helping you get a more restfull nights sleep. If you do not want this happening then realise the system is only doing what you are asking it to do, to stop this then increase the desired temp level so the system does not go to cooling mode at night. Another point to be aware of, during peak summer time, there will be some nights when ceiling temp does not get lower than the inside temp in this case the fan speed will not increase and will stay in filtration mode. To conclude, the system is doing exactly as it has been designed to do and there is nothing wrong.

Guess what? last 2 days no crying windows I cant believe it the first day installed it started to work we have already felt the difference in the air quality even being just 2 days new. There were some strange odors coming from the kitchen no amount of cleaning could remove, this has now disappeared, both Colin and I a truly happy we made the decision to go through with and purchase this wonderful system.


We will look to get one installed into our rental property before n...ext winter.


Thanks again Theo..... This system has exceeded our expectations!

Warm Regards
Colin & Ruihi

All I can say is Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

For years I have been wiping down windows throughout the house and washing the towels, with all this extra work and time I decided to put in a SAYR system after looking into all options of Ventilation.

They did inform me it takes awhile for the system to dry the house out, but what a HUGE difference in just one day.  Arrived home from work to a warmer house yes it was a sunny winter day but rooms that stay cold all day were warmer.  I opened the curtains in the morning to see crystal clear windows, only one had a tinny little mist on it but what a difference to windows that use to run with water.  We also got them to install a bathroom fan an extra bonus no moisture on the mirror and the kids loved it as I didn’t need to open a window making them cold after a warm bath.

I highly recommend a SAYR system, a very professional company and great to deal with.

There has been a lot of publicity in news recently about cold damp mouldy homes causing severe sickness and unfortunately even deaths, not only in children but adults young and old as well. The government’s reaction as advised by health professionals and backed by university studies is to increase the insulation levels, increase the heating and seal up homes. This has been a project in place now for a number of years. This has made a positive benefit to the indoor environment however it still has not solved many issues.

Damp homes are a culmination of moisture introduced into the home by occupants, by house design, by environmental factors and general maintenance. Adding insulation, heating and weather tightness does not remove the moisture and in many cases exaggerates the symptoms. Mould and bacteria love damp warm places to feed on. Double glazing will reduce condensation on windows and cold surfaces but merely hides the obvious damp issues, out of sight out of mind. Double glazing has other benefits which are not damp related.

These homes like many NZ homes have had years of moisture introduced into the home and the home is literally dripping wet although this cannot be seen just as moisture cannot be seen on a sponge but it is deep inside.

At SAYR we can solve 95% of problem damp homes by installation of our system alone. We work closely with the other 5%, this may involve addressing other extraction methods in bathrooms, kitchens and laundry’s. Upgrading insulation in ceilings and underfloor. Installing Ground Vapour Barriers over dirt floors, heating recommendations, heat transfer recommendations and more.

SAYRs experienced staff can inspect your home and give you the best advice how best to tackle any damp issues you may have.

Give SAYR a call today and don’t be a victim.
