MECHANICAL VENTILATION WITH HEAT RECOVERY (MVHR)

Where should MVHR be installed in my property? MVHR units are fairly sizeable, especially the higher quality ones on offer. Air needs space to move efficiently (and quietly) and factors like insulations levels can also inform how large of a unit you need. As MVHR need regular maintenance to keep them operating at an efficient level, they will require easy access and space to move around the unit. We aim to minimise the number of ducts needed around the property so we will work with you to find the best, suitable location to install with minimal inconvenience to you.

Is it possible to retrofit a MVHR system? It is a lot easier to install during renovation work, as the area needed can be planned suitably for the space and usually installed with less distruption and challenges. It is however possible, depending on the size and layout of the property. We would do an initial consultation on any retrofit installations to ensure it is not only possible, but can be fitted safely and effectively.

Do I need a MVHR system? Customers have a range of reasons for adding a MVHR system into their property. Those residing in a noisy environment often opt for a MVHR system to allow fresh air into their homes without the need to open windows, letting in noise (and also letting heat out). Same can apply for those suffering with pollen allergies or living in areas of high pollution. Commercially speaking, kitchens or store rooms are usually chosen to keep good air flow without letting in potential pollutants into the space.
