MVHR installation in Glasgow

MVHR in Glasgow works the same way as anywhere else: a quiet unit, a duct to every room and a proper airflow test at the end.

We carry out MVHR installation across Glasgow, including Glasgow. Prices use Scotland rates. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it

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. 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.

New build or full renovation

Ducts go in at first fix before plasterboard, which is the cheapest and neatest time to fit MVHR.

Questions about MVHR installation in Glasgow

Which towns in Glasgow do you cover?

All of Glasgow, including Glasgow. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.

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.

Are prices different in Glasgow?

Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Glasgow we use Scotland rates, so whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,275 to £6,650 inc VAT per home.

Is the survey free in Glasgow?

For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.

Ask for a Glasgow survey slot and we will bring a room-by-room design and a fixed quote.
