MVHR in Leicester Forest East at a glance

Town: Leicester Forest East, Leicestershire
Postcode districts: LE3, LE6 and LE19
Nearby: Braunstone (2 miles), Glenfield (2 miles) and Aylestone (3 miles)
Price region: East Midlands
Survey: Free survey (UK mainland)

What the work involves

Inside the unit the two airflows pass each other across a heat exchanger without mixing, so the incoming fresh air picks up heat from the outgoing air. Filters on both sides keep pollen and dust out of the house and keep the exchanger clean.

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 Leicester Forest East

Do you cover Leicester Forest East and nearby?

Yes. We cover Leicester Forest East and nearby places including Braunstone, Glenfield, Aylestone and Glen Parva. Send your postcode and we will confirm.

How much does MVHR cost to install?

A typical retrofit costs £6,450 to £9,450 including VAT for a three-bedroom house, and £4,950 to £7,950 when it goes in during a new build or full renovation. Flats start lower and large detached homes cost more because of the duct runs. We give a fixed price after the survey.

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.
