MVHR for Canford Heath homes
Filters on both sides keep pollen and dust out of the house and keep the exchanger clean. MVHR works best in a home that is reasonably airtight: a new build, a deep retrofit with insulation and new windows, or a renovation where ceilings are coming down anyway.
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.

Questions from Canford Heath
How do I get a price for MVHR in Canford Heath?
Use the guide price tool, the form on this page, live chat, WhatsApp or call 0800 088 6341. A postcode and a couple of photos help us give you a useful answer first time.
Do I keep my trickle vents with MVHR?
No. Under Approved Document F, background ventilators should not be installed with a whole-home MVHR system, so we advise closing or removing them once the system is commissioned.
How often does MVHR need servicing?
Filters usually need changing every 6 to 12 months, and a full service with a clean and airflow check once a year keeps the system efficient. Clogged filters are the most common reason MVHR stops working properly.
