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.
Summer bypass and boost controls
Bypass lets cooler night air in without heat recovery; humidity or switch boost for showers and cooking.
Retrofit in an occupied home
Ducts routed through the loft and down through cupboards or boxed corners. Most semis are done in 3 to 5 days.

Questions from Kendal
What area around Kendal do you work in?
All of Cumbria. Near Kendal that includes Ulverston, Morecambe, Lancaster and Heysham.
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.
