What the work involves

In a draughty older house it still ventilates well, but less of the heat-recovery benefit is felt because warm air escapes through gaps instead of the unit. We check this on survey and tell you plainly if a simpler system would do the job for less.

New build or full renovation

Ducts go in at first fix before plasterboard, which is the cheapest and neatest time to fit MVHR.

Radial semi-rigid ducting

One small duct per valve from a manifold. Quieter and easier to balance than branched rigid duct in most homes.

How much does MVHR cost to install?

A typical retrofit costs £6,450 to £9,450 including VAT for a three-bedroom house, and £4,950 to £7,950 when it goes in during a new build or full renovation. Flats start lower and large detached homes cost more because of the duct runs. We give a fixed price after the survey.

Is MVHR worth it in an older house?

It can be, but the payback is best in a home that is fairly airtight. In a draughty house MVHR still gives steady fresh air and condensation control, but a PIV unit or continuous extract fans may solve the same problem for far less. We will tell you which on survey.
