MVHR installation in Tayside

If you are making a Tayside house warmer and tighter, MVHR keeps the air fresh without throwing the heat away.

Tayside has every kind of building, from old terraces to new estates and business parks, and every job is designed around the building in front of us, not a standard kit.

What MVHR installation 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. 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.

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.

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 about MVHR installation in Tayside

Which towns in Tayside do you cover?

All of Tayside, including Forfar, Montrose, Carnoustie, Dundee and Perth. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.

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.

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.

Are prices different in Tayside?

Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Tayside we use Scotland rates, so whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,275 to £6,650 inc VAT per home.
