How we approach MVHR in Mildenhall
Insulated ducts carry extract air from the wet rooms and supply air to the habitable rooms. 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.
New build or full renovation
Ducts go in at first fix before plasterboard, which is the cheapest and neatest time to fit MVHR.
Radial semi-rigid ducting
One small duct per valve from a manifold. Quieter and easier to balance than branched rigid duct in most homes.

Questions from Mildenhall
What area around Mildenhall do you work in?
All of Suffolk. Near Mildenhall that includes Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Ely and Thetford.
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.
