MVHR installation in Winchester
Whole-home heat recovery ventilation, designed room by room and airflow-tested at handover. Covering Winchester and SO21, SO22 and SO23.
- From £4,900 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
If you are making a Winchester house warmer and tighter, MVHR keeps the air fresh without throwing the heat away.
Whether the property is in the middle of Winchester 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.

What the work involves
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.
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 Winchester
Do you cover Winchester and nearby?
Yes. We cover Winchester and nearby places including Bishopstoke, Eastleigh, Fair Oak and Romsey. Send your 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.
What is the price of MVHR in Winchester?
Guide prices for Winchester use South East rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,900 to £7,650 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Is the survey free in Winchester?
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.
Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the loft and we can give a first price for your Winchester home before we visit.
