Are you ready to breathe new life into your home? A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system could be the answer. MVHR is a popular choice for those looking to make their home healthier. It can improve ventilation in your home by bringing in fresh air from outside, and can also save you up to 25% on your energy bills.

How does MVHR work?
MVHR systems work by bringing in fresh air from outside while keeping the warmth inside your home.
They help prevent moisture build-up inside well-insulated homes, which can be harmful.
This means your home stays comfortable and healthy all year round.
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.
