Commercial ventilation, Highland and Moray
Commercial heat recovery units in Highland and Moray
Plate and rotary heat recovery units that cut the cost of fresh air, across Highland and Moray.
- From £6,650 + VAT per unit
- Free survey

A commercial heat recovery unit supplies fresh air and extracts stale air through a heat exchanger, so the energy already spent heating or cooling the building is passed to the incoming air instead of being thrown away. It is the standard way to ventilate offices, schools, gyms and clinics efficiently.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Highland and Moray, from Elgin, Fort William, Nairn and Inverness. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.
Jobs in the remote Highlands and on the islands are by arrangement, with travel quoted in writing before you commit.

What the work involves
Units use plate exchangers (no mixing of air streams) or rotary wheels (higher efficiency, small transfer of moisture). The right choice depends on the use: a gym or swimming area has very different moisture loads to an office. We size units to the building's occupancy and fresh-air needs, plan the duct connections and controls, and commission the system so the design airflows are actually achieved.
Floor or roof units
Larger units for schools, gyms and halls.
Demand control
CO2-led control for variable occupancy.
Replacement of old ventilation
Extract-only systems upgraded to balanced heat recovery.

Plate or rotary heat exchanger?
Plate exchangers keep the air streams completely separate; rotary wheels are usually more efficient and recover some moisture. The use of the space decides which is better.

Sometimes. Extract-only systems can often be upgraded to balanced supply and extract with a heat recovery unit.
