MVHR in Paisley works the same way as anywhere else: a quiet unit, a duct to every room and a proper airflow test at the end.
We cover Paisley and the surrounding PA1, PA2 and PA3 postcodes as part of our work across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

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 Paisley
What area around Paisley do you work in?
All of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Near Paisley that includes Barrhead, Renfrew, Johnstone and Erskine.
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.
