Ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR)
Are you looking to breathe new life into your home, improve air quality, and save money on your heating bills? A Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system could be the answer. MVHR generates fresh air while recovering heat from the stale air it extracts.
This is particularly crucial for modern, well-insulated homes that are built to be airtight, as it prevents moisture build-up and creates a healthier, more comfortable living environment.
The Benefits
MVHR systems offer a range of powerful benefits that improve both your home's health and energy efficiency.
✔ Lower Energy Bills: By recovering heat from the outgoing air, an MVHR system can help you save up to 25% on your energy bills.
✔ Improved Air Quality: It continuously filters and replaces stale, humid indoor air with fresh, clean outside air, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and allergies.
✔ Prevents Damp and Mould: In airtight, well-insulated homes, MVHR prevents the build-up of moisture, which is a key cause of damp and mould.
✔ Year-Round Comfort: The system ensures a steady supply of fresh air. It also stops your home from getting too hot or too cold, keeping it comfortable year-round.
✔ Government Grants Available: This can be a very accessible solution, as you may be eligible for a government grant to help cover the cost of installation.

What does mechanical ventilation with heat recovery look like and where does it fit in your house?
MVHR systems are usually made up of a main unit, ducts, and vents.
The main unit is a small box that is about the size of a carry-on suitcase. It has fans and filters inside to control the air. This can be stored in a utility room, garage, attic or cupboard as long as there is access for maintenance.
Ducts are big tubes that carry air around your house. They are hidden inside walls, ceilings, or floors, so you don't see them.
Vents are small openings in your walls or ceilings where fresh air comes in and old air goes out. They are usually added to kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms.
How It Fits in Your Home
MVHR systems are composed of a central unit, a network of ducts, and small vents.
The Main Unit: The central unit is typically a compact box, about the size of a carry-on suitcase. It can be discreetly installed in a utility room, garage, attic, or a dedicated cupboard.
Ducts: These are large tubes that carry air around your house. They are usually hidden inside walls, ceilings, or floors, so they are not visible.
Vents: Small, subtle vents are installed in the walls or ceilings of your rooms to manage the airflow.
