We cover Rhiwbina and the surrounding CF14, CF15 and CF23 postcodes as part of our work across South Glamorgan. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

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 Rhiwbina
Do you cover Rhiwbina and nearby?
Yes. We cover Rhiwbina and nearby places including Whitchurch, Caerphilly, Cardiff and Penarth. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
