Future-Proof your home with DVS

What is Future-Proof Building™?

If you're building, planning to build, or even just upgrading the fixtures and fittings in your home, look for future-proofed solutions. Future-Proof Building
is an industry-wide initiative to promote better building practices and products to meet the demands of tomorrow's lifestyles. It means thinking ahead and asking smart questions like:

  • What can I do now to save on future power bills?
  • Will our home be a safe, healthy environment for my family?
  • Will choosing cheaper materials now end up costing me more in the long run?
  • Am I building or renovating in a way that's environmentally responsible?
  • What demands will my family put on our home in 10 years time?
Put simply, future-proofing is about building a better home to live in now, that's worth more to the owner in the future.

DVS®  is proud to be Future-Proof Building's exclusive home ventilation partner. We share the same philosophies about building healthier, safer and more energy efficient homes, and protecting and enhancing the value of our customer's most important investment. Future-proofing with a DVS®  will add value to your home by:




Protecting your family's health and safety

The DVS®  systems gently and naturally ventilate your home with fresh, filtered drier air, forcing out damp stale air caused by everyday living. By controlling and reducing condensation, mould, mildew and dust mites the DVS®  will make your home drier, healthier and fresher, greatly improving indoor air quality. Plus, the DVS®  will enhance your home security and personal safety by ventilating your home without the risk of opening doors and windows.


Making your home more energy-efficient

With DVS® , your home will be more energy-efficient as less energy is required to heat a drier home than a damp one. On warm or sunny days, even in winter, the DVS®  can supplement your home heating by capturing any free solar heat from your roof space. The DVS®  can also make more efficient use of existing heating by distributing it more evenly throughout the home. Our energy-efficient systems use around 80 per cent LESS electricity than comparable conventional fans, with ongoing savings of approximately $80 a year in an average-sized home. And the new G3 Reclaim can even reclaim up to 95% of the energy that pases through it which means you'll need less direct heating to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.


Reducing costly and time-consuming repairs and maintenance

DVS®  will help you protect the value of your biggest asset and reduce costly and time-consuming repairs and maintenance in the future. For less than you may imagine, DVS®  home ventilation will help protect your windows, curtains, wall coverings and furnishings from the damage caused by condensation, dampness, mould and mildew.


Automating your home's ventilation

The DVS® control panel has sophisticated software and programming capabilities to offer you more functionality, and a greater level of automation to meet your home's ventilation requirements.


Giving you peace-of-mind quality assurance

With DVS® you get guaranteed quality and peace-of-mind from knowing that only DVS®  systems have been independently tested and proven by Massey University, and appraised by the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ). We also offer a FIVE Year Parts and Labour Warranty.


Saving you space

With the main components mounted in the roof space, (or in cupboards or storage spaces in homes with no roof spaces) the DVS®  systems are quiet and unobtrusive, with discreet ceiling diffusers and attractive wall-mounted control panels.
