Basement ventilation
Would you like to regulate the humidity in your basement? We install intelligent basement ventilation systems with integrated heat recovery. Our devices are very economical and almost silent.
Automatic basement ventilation
In damp cellars, there is often a musty smell and mold. Persistent moisture can cause lasting damage to the fabric of the building and lead to a reduction in the value of the property. Passive ventilation via cellar windows, however, is not able to regulate the moisture in a targeted manner and can lead to increased heating costs in winter.
According to a study by SwissEnergy (Swiss Federal Office of Energy SFOE), moisture-controlled basement ventilation systems are the optimal solution because they consume little energy and reduce the risk of mold to virtually zero [1.]. In addition, they lead to a noticeable improvement in the indoor climate via increased air circulation. This can itself have positive effects on the floors above.
We analyze the moisture in your basement, install intelligent basement ventilation and install electrophysical wall dehumidification if required. Our ventilators can ventilate in both directions and, in addition to humidity sensors, have integrated heat recovery. Contact us without obligation.

What are the advantages of basement ventilation?
The benefits of basement ventilation include moisture control, mold prevention, building fabric protection, indoor air quality improvement, energy savings, improved indoor environment, and radon protection.
How does basement ventilation work?
Intelligente Kellerlüftungen können in beide Richtungen lüften. Über die Feuchtigkeitssensoren steuert sich das Lüftungsgerät selbständig für eine effektive Feuchtigkeitsreduktion im Kellerraum. Ein integrierter Filter verhindert, dass Pollen oder andere Schadstoffe in den Keller gelangen. Ausserdem stellt eine integrierte Wärmerückgewinnung sicher, dass energiesparend gelüftet werden kann.
Why a cellar ventilation from Haustrocknung.ch?
Haustrocknung.ch is specialized in dehumidification of buildings since 2010. We advise you competently on the systems that make sense in your case and ensure professional installation. With us you are in good hands.
How much does basement ventilation cost in Switzerland?
Haustrocknung.ch sells cellar ventilation systems from CHF 3'000 (incl. installation). For orders concerning electrophysical wall dehumidification with the DRYMAT® system, we install cellar vents throughout Switzerland.
What are the factors on which the cost of basement ventilation depends?
Der effektive Preis für die Kellerlüftung ist abhängig von der Art der Lüftung, der Grösse des Kellers, der Komplexität der Installation sowie der Dauer des Anfahrtsweges. Ask us without obligation.
What are the electricity costs of basement ventilation?
Die geschätzten jährlichen Stromkosten für eine Kellerlüftung liegen bei CHF 25. Unsere intelligenten Kellerlüftungen sind mehrstufig regulierbar und haben eine maximale Leistung von unter 6 Watt.
How does basement ventilation affect heating costs?
Unsere Kellerlüftung kommen mit integrierter Wärmerückgewinnung. Dies bedeutet, dass während des Lüftungsprozesses 80 % der Wärme zurück gewonnen wird. Im Vergleich zu einer manuellen Fensterlüftung sparen Sie deshalb mit der Kellerlüftung viel Energie. So oder so hat eine neu eingebaute Kellerlüftung kaum einen spürbaren negativen Effekt auf die Heizkosten.

Simple and fast installed fan
The effort required to install a ventilation system in the basement, for example, is modest. The easiest way is to install it in an existing window or ventilation shaft (plug-and-play principle). Otherwise, a core drilling is required - also no witchcraft. Only an underground installation including core drilling requires additional digging work. The basement fan only requires a socket with household electricity.
The fan in the basement or apartment is equipped with a humidity meter (hygrostat) or timer. The humidity meter can be adjusted continuously. In the apartment, basement or garage, the humidity can be adjusted by dehumidification to a preset value between 40-90% humidity. However, optimally it is set to 50-60% for a room in the basement.
Depending on the optimal solution, a fan is installed in the basement or in the apartment, which alternately ventilates in and out or only out. In the process, the built-in ceramic element recovers the heat. The fans can also be linked together via radio. Then the intelligent fans ventilate in combination. This creates a draft in the room / basement.
In all cases, the fans ventilate their cellar completely independently, so that the user has no control effort for air exchange. So you always have fresh and dry air and musty, musty odors or moisture damage do not form in the first place.
