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.
Radial semi-rigid ducting
One small duct per valve from a manifold. Quieter and easier to balance than branched rigid duct in most homes.
Summer bypass and boost controls
Bypass lets cooler night air in without heat recovery; humidity or switch boost for showers and cooking.

Questions from Newtownards
Do you cover Newtownards and nearby?
Yes. We cover Newtownards and nearby places including Dundonald, Bangor, Holywood and Castlereagh. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
How noisy is MVHR?
Correctly sized and balanced MVHR is very quiet on normal speed; most people stop noticing it within days. Noise problems usually come from undersized ducts or a unit running flat out, which is why we design the rates first.
What is the price of MVHR in Newtownards?
Guide prices for Newtownards use Northern Ireland rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,100 to £6,400 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Is the survey free in Newtownards?
Visits here are by arrangement. Because of the ferry or long travel involved, we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit, and we can often combine visits to keep the cost down.
Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the loft and we can give a first price for your Newtownards home before we visit.
