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.
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 from Great Harwood
Do you cover Great Harwood and nearby?
Yes. We cover Great Harwood and nearby places including Accrington, Blackburn, Padiham and Clitheroe. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
How often does MVHR need servicing?
Filters usually need changing every 6 to 12 months, and a full service with a clean and airflow check once a year keeps the system efficient. Clogged filters are the most common reason MVHR stops working properly.
