MVHR for Kearsley homes
A single unit, usually in the loft, a utility cupboard or a garage, runs all the time at a low, quiet speed. Insulated ducts carry extract air from the wet rooms and supply air to the habitable rooms.
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.

Rules that apply in England
