MVHR for Saffron Walden 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.
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.

Rules that apply in England

Questions from Saffron Walden
What area around Saffron Walden do you work in?
All of Essex. Near Saffron Walden that includes Haverhill, Bishop's Stortford, Royston and Cambridge.
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.
