SmartVent Installation

Good ventilation is essential for a healthy, comfortable home — but it’s often one of the most overlooked parts of the house. Whether you're dealing with condensation, mould, damp air, or stuffy rooms, the right ventilation system can make a big difference to your indoor air quality and overall wellbeing.

Why install SmartVent in your home?

Poor ventilation doesn’t just cause discomfort — it can lead to long-term issues like mould, warped window frames, and poor respiratory health. Whether it's a lack of airflow in bathrooms, damp bedrooms, or stale air in living areas, proper ventilation helps protect both your home and your health.

Installing or upgrading your ventilation means:

  • Drier, healthier air — especially in winter
  • Reduced mould, mildew, and condensation
  • Fresher smelling spaces year-round
  • Improved airflow and comfort
  • A more energy-efficient home

When should you install a SmartVent ventilation system?

You might benefit from better ventilation if:

  • You regularly see moisture on windows
  • There’s a musty smell in bedrooms or bathrooms
  • Mould is appearing on walls, ceilings, or curtains
  • The air feels damp or heavy
  • You’ve recently insulated your home and it now feels stuffy

Even newer homes can benefit from balanced airflow, especially in spaces like bathrooms, laundries, or sealed bedrooms.

My approach

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for ventilation. I’ll start by inspecting your space and understanding the airflow (or lack of it) in each part of the house. Then I’ll recommend a practical solution — whether that’s a SmartVent system, an extractor fan, a bathroom upgrade, or a combination of options.

You’ll get straightforward advice with clear pros and cons, so you can choose what’s right for your home and your budget.

What to expect

Ventilation work might include:

  • Installing or replacing bathroom extractor fans
  • Setting up a SmartVent or similar home ventilation system
  • Improving airflow in sealed bedrooms or living areas
  • Replacing underperforming systems or ducting
  • Adjusting vents and air paths for balanced airflow

All systems are installed to meet New Zealand building code standards and designed to run efficiently with minimal power use.

Peter Harwood

"Josh from Neon Electrical recommended and installed a Smartvent Home Ventilation System after my wife and I got talking to him over the fence when he was installing a similar system for our neighbours.

We are very pleased that we got talking, as Josh came and had a look at our house and gave us a couple of recommendations to choose from and without any pressure or hard sell.

Furthermore, Josh came on the day he said he would and was very efficient in putting the system in and even brought his own vacuum cleaner to clear away the dust afterwards - Nice!

We would definitely recommend Josh and Neon Electrical to anyone who wanted some electrical work done."

    My services

    Switchboard Upgrades

    When it comes to electrical safety and long-term peace of mind, your switchboard is one of the most important parts of your home. It’s the heart of your electrical system — and if it’s outdated, overloaded, or showing signs of wear, it might be time to consider an upgrade.

    Electrical Home Assessments

    When it comes to keeping your home safe and future-ready, an electrical home assessment is one of the most valuable things you can do. Whether you’re buying, renovating, or simply unsure about the state of your wiring, a professional inspection can give you clarity, peace of mind, and practical next steps — without the guesswork.

    LED Lighting Upgrades

    Lighting plays a big role in your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and safety — and upgrading to LED is one of the simplest ways to improve all three. Whether you’re replacing old halogens, starting a renovation, or just want to lower your power bill, modern LED lighting offers long-term savings and a better lighting experience.

    Underground Cable & Mains Checks

    If your home has underground cabling or ageing mains lines, it’s worth checking they’re still safe, stable, and up to standard. Damaged or deteriorating underground cables can lead to power loss, safety issues, or expensive emergency callouts — and in many cases, you won’t know there’s a problem until something goes wrong.

    Power & Lighting Installations

    From extra power points to new light fittings, I handle the day-to-day electrical work that keeps your home running safely and smoothly. Whether you’re refreshing a room, upgrading fixtures, or just need a few changes to make your space more practical, I’m here to help with reliable, professional service.

    Earthing Checks

    A safe home starts with proper earthing — and yet, it’s one of the most overlooked parts of residential electrical safety. Good earthing protects you, your appliances, and your property by safely carrying fault current away when something goes wrong. If your earthing is damaged, missing, or outdated, you could be at serious risk without even knowing it.

    Safety Compliance Checks

    Electrical safety isn’t just about fixing what’s broken — it’s about making sure everything is up to standard, working as it should, and safe for everyday use. Whether you’re planning a renovation, selling your home, or just want peace of mind, a safety compliance check is a smart way to ensure your electrical system is reliable and legal.

    Diagnosing Electrical Faults

    When something’s not working right, it’s not always obvious what’s causing the problem — that’s where fault diagnosis comes in. Whether it’s flickering lights, tripping breakers, or outlets that suddenly stop working, diagnosing faults is about finding the root cause quickly, safely, and with as little disruption as possible.
