MVHR for Desborough homes
Filters on both sides keep pollen and dust out of the house and keep the exchanger clean. MVHR works best in a home that is reasonably airtight: a new build, a deep retrofit with insulation and new windows, or a renovation where ceilings are coming down anyway.
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.

Questions from Desborough
Do you cover Desborough and nearby?
Yes. We cover Desborough and nearby places including Market Harborough, Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough. 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.
