Continuous extract fans (dMEV) in Ayrshire
Quiet low-energy fans that run all the time and boost automatically when humidity rises, across Ayrshire.
- From £330 inc VAT per fan
- Free survey
A dMEV (decentralised mechanical extract ventilation) fan is a low-energy extract fan that runs continuously at a quiet trickle speed and boosts automatically when it senses humidity or a light switch. Because it never fully switches off, moisture is removed steadily instead of building up between showers.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Ayrshire, from Saltcoats, Largs, Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.
