How we approach MVHR in Clacton-on-Sea
Insulated ducts carry extract air from the wet rooms and supply air to the habitable rooms. Inside the unit the two airflows pass each other across a heat exchanger without mixing, so the incoming fresh air picks up heat from the outgoing air.
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.

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.
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.
