Hombee Air is the heart and lungs of your home. It is a single, central unit that replaces many separate, often noisy devices. The system comprehensively manages the air throughout the building, ensuring ideal living conditions 24 hours a day, regardless of the weather outside.

One Hombee Air central unit provides seven key functions: 1. Heating (thanks to a heat pump), 2. Cooling (air conditioning), 3. Air exchange with heat recovery (recuperation), 4. Purification (HEPA-class filtration), 5. Sterilization (UV-C lamp), 6. Central air humidification, and 7. Air drying (dehumidification).

The system operates on two intelligently connected levels. First, it ensures an ideal climate by continuously processing and treating huge amounts of air already in the house - filtering, sterilizing, heating or cooling, and humidifying it. At the same time, to ensure constant freshness and an adequate oxygen level, the system continuously supplies a stream of new, clean air from the outside, while recovering heat from the removed air.

The system uses three-stage filtration with a main HEPA H13 class filter that removes 99.95% of the finest pollutants. In addition, a UV-C lamp neutralizes viruses and bacteria. The system's efficiency is so high that it is able to filter and clean the entire volume of air in your home up to 6 times in one hour, creating a safe zone of cleanliness.

Unlike portable humidifiers, the system centrally and automatically maintains an optimal humidity of 40-60% throughout the house. This prevents the drying of mucous membranes and skin during the heating season, which is crucial for health and immunity. It also protects wooden furniture and floors from cracking.

The system is designed for absolute silence. Thanks to the use of thick, perfectly insulated ventilation ducts and a very low air flow speed (maximum 2 m/s), its operation is practically inaudible. You enjoy an ideal climate without noise and unpleasant drafts.

Standard recuperation only exchanges air, and split air conditioners cool individual rooms, generating noise and drafts. Hombee Air is a comprehensive solution: it ventilates, heats, cools, humidifies, and sterilizes the air throughout the house, operating centrally, silently, and without noticeable drafts.

Yes, the comfort is comparable, especially with wooden floors. Thanks to the precise distribution of warm air, the temperature difference at the floor is minimal (1-2°C). However, unlike underfloor heating, the Hombee Air system provides not only heating but also cooling and excellent air quality.

Yes. Its heart is a high-efficiency heat pump, designed for effective operation in low temperatures (even down to -25°C). The system provides full thermal comfort without the need for additional, expensive-to-operate heat sources, such as electric heaters.

The system's central unit requires a dedicated technical room or a separate space, for example in a garage or attic. The exact dimensions depend on the model matched to the building's volume, but a space comparable to a large wardrobe should be assumed.

The installation is very flexible. The network of pre-insulated ventilation ducts is most often hidden in the suspended ceiling space (minimum 25 cm high), but it can also be run in floor screeds or in an unused attic, depending on the building's architecture.

It is technically possible, but much more complicated and expensive than in a newly built facility. It would require a major renovation to run the network of ventilation ducts. Therefore, it is a solution dedicated primarily to new construction.

It depends on the standard to which we are comparing. Hombee Air is usually more expensive than the sum of three basic systems (heating, recuperation, air conditioning) in the standard version. However, it is more favorably priced than the sum of the same three systems in the standard version. Most importantly, it is much cheaper than the sum of seven separate standard devices that would perform all its functions.

Thanks to the synergy of the heat pump and recuperation, the system is very energy-efficient. In our show house (280 m²), the monthly energy consumption of the system (for all 7 functions) ranges from 600 kWh in transitional periods to 800 kWh in months with extreme temperatures.

Routine maintenance is limited to regular filter replacement, which the user can do themselves. The system will inform you when this is necessary (usually every 6-12 months). The first professional inspection and cleaning of the ducts is recommended after about 5 years of use.
