Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is a system that provides continuous ventilation in homes while recovering heat from the outgoing air. It extracts stale, moisture-laden air and supplies fresh, filtered air, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. This system improves energy efficiency and enhances indoor air quality, making it ideal for modern, airtight homes

Why Choose MVHR for Your Home?

• Energy Efficiency: MVHR systems recover up to 90% of the heat from the outgoing air, helping to lower heating costs and reduce energy consumption.

• Improved Air Quality: They filter out pollutants, allergens, and excess moisture, creating a healthier indoor environment.

• Condensation Control: MVHR systems help prevent condensation, dampness, and mold by regulating humidity, protecting your home from damage.

• Consistent Comfort: With a constant supply of fresh air and controlled temperature, the system ensures a balanced and comfortable indoor climate throughout the year.

Is MVHR Right for Your Property?

MVHR systems are ideal for:

• New Builds: Especially in energy-efficient homes or passive houses where airtightness and insulation are key.

• Retrofits: Older properties that have been upgraded with better insulation and airtight construction can also benefit from MVHR systems.

• Modern Homes: Homes designed to minimize their carbon footprint and improve energy performance are excellent candidates for MVHR.

For older, draughtier properties, the system may be less effective due to natural ventilation, but with the right insulation improvements, it can still provide significant benefits.

How MVHR Systems Work

MVHR systems work by extracting stale air from areas like kitchens and bathrooms while supplying fresh, filtered air to living spaces and bedrooms. The system uses a heat exchanger to transfer warmth from the outgoing air to the incoming air, ensuring efficient ventilation while maintaining warmth without energy loss.

The MVHR Installation Process

1. Design & Planning: A custom design is developed to meet your home’s specific layout and airflow needs, ensuring optimal efficiency.

2. Installation: A central MVHR unit is installed, typically in a loft or utility room, with ducts running to key areas of the home.

3. Commissioning: Every installation is followed by a thorough commissioning process to ensure the system operates at peak performance, with balanced airflow and maximum heat recovery.

We take pride in making sure every installation is finished with the highest quality and commissioning experience, ensuring the system delivers the best performance.

MVHR Installation Costs

The cost of installing an MVHR system typically ranges from £3,000 to £7,000, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the installation. While the initial investment may vary, the long-term savings on energy bills and the enhanced comfort make it a worthwhile choice.

Maintenance and Operating Costs

• Low Operating Costs: MVHR systems use minimal electricity to run, and the energy savings generally offset the operating costs.

• Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep the system efficient, including changing filters and occasionally cleaning ducts. Our team ensures your system continues to run smoothly with these services.

Regulations and Standards for MVHR in the UK

All MVHR systems must comply with UK building regulations, specifically Part F (ventilation) and Part L (energy efficiency). Working with qualified professionals ensures that your system meets these standards and operates at the highest level of efficiency.

Challenges of Installing MVHR

• Retrofitting Older Homes: Retrofitting an MVHR system in older homes can be challenging due to limited space for ducting and the existing natural ventilation. However, with proper planning and design, these challenges can be overcome.

• Maintenance Requirements: Regular filter changes and system checks are necessary to maintain efficiency and ensure good air quality.
