MVHR often makes sense in Poole homes that have recently been insulated, re-windowed or made more airtight.
Whether the property is in the middle of Poole or one of the villages around it, the process is the same: a look at the building, a written price, then fitting and testing on the agreed day.

MVHR for Poole 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 Poole
What is the price of MVHR in Poole?
Guide prices for Poole use South West rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,625 to £7,250 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
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.
Can MVHR cool the house in summer?
MVHR is not air conditioning, but a summer bypass lets cooler night air in without warming it, which helps take the edge off hot rooms. For real cooling you would need a separate system.
Is the survey free in Poole?
