MVHR installation in Ramsgate
Whole-home heat recovery ventilation, designed room by room and airflow-tested at handover. Covering Ramsgate and CT10, CT11 and CT12.
- From £4,900 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
MVHR often makes sense in Ramsgate homes that have recently been insulated, re-windowed or made more airtight.
Whether the property is in the middle of Ramsgate 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.
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.

Questions from Ramsgate
Is the survey free in Ramsgate?
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.
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.
