What makes ventilation difficult in Chandigarh?

Chandigarh spans an extreme temperature range — India's best-planned city but with highly variable climate. Winter AQI spikes as cold air traps pollutants. Summers are North India's hottest. A system must handle both extremes effectively.

Which machine is right for Chandigarh?

RHP + HEPA-13 (Preferred) · Revita ERV + HEPA-13 (Standard)

The 45°C summer benefits from RHP active cooling; 2°C winters benefit from heat recovery that prevents cold air from reducing indoor temperatures. HEPA-13 is essential for winter months when Punjab/Haryana AQI deteriorates significantly. RHP's full-range performance (cooling + heating + dehumidification + filtration) makes it the preferred single system for Chandigarh's extreme climate span.

For Chandigarh we specify Revita ERV or RHP Heat Pump as the default, with HEPA-13 (winter AQI spikes require it) filtration. Models: RHP INA-RHP Series (preferred), Revita INA-MFQR + HEPA-13 filter box (standard). Model-by-model airflow, static pressure and power figures are on the spec sheets.

Typically installed in: Premium apartments · Schools · Healthcare facilities · Government housing.
Also worth considering: Revita ERV + HEPA-13 is cost-effective if separate HVAC handles seasonal temperature extremes

How is a system sized here?

Sizing is driven by occupancy, not floor area — CO2 comes from people, so a small crowded flat needs more air than a large empty one. ASHRAE 62.1 sets the airflow per person; that number picks the unit. Chandigarh then adds two local constraints: a summer peak of 42–46°C, which decides how much heat recovery is worth paying for, and humidity of 30–70% RH, which decides whether plain recovery is enough or whether active dehumidification is needed.

What do people in Chandigarh ask?

Chandigarh sees an AQI range of roughly 100–200 through the year. Chandigarh spans an extreme temperature range — India's best-planned city but with highly variable climate. Winter AQI spikes as cold air traps pollutants. Summers are North India's hottest. A system must handle both extremes effectively. That range is what sets the filter grade: we specify HEPA-13 (winter AQI spikes require it) here.
RHP + HEPA-13 (Preferred) · Revita ERV + HEPA-13 (Standard). We recommend either the Revita ERV or the RHP heat-pump unit for Chandigarh. The 45°C summer benefits from RHP active cooling; 2°C winters benefit from heat recovery that prevents cold air from reducing indoor temperatures. HEPA-13 is essential for winter months when Punjab/Haryana AQI deteriorates significantly. RHP's full-range performance (cooling + heating + dehumidification + filtration) makes it the preferred single system for Chandigarh's extreme climate span.
HEPA-13 (winter AQI spikes require it). Filter grade follows the local AQI rather than a national default — MERV-13 handles ordinary urban particulate, while HEPA-13 is warranted where AQI regularly passes 200 or where dust and industrial sources are present. In Chandigarh the range is 100–200.
Yes. InAir supplies and installs across India from its Hyderabad base, and Chandigarh in Chandigarh is covered end to end — free site survey, duct design, supply, commissioning with measured airflow readings, and handover. A typical residential installation is commissioned ten to twelve days after order. Send a floor plan to sales@in-air.in and an engineer returns a sized proposal.
Sizing starts from occupancy rather than floor area, because CO₂ is produced by people. ASHRAE 62.1 gives the airflow per person; that figure sets the unit, and the Chandigarh summer peak of 42–46°C plus humidity of 30–70% RH decides whether plain heat recovery is enough or whether active dehumidification is required.
