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.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne
What is the price of MVHR in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Guide prices for Newcastle upon Tyne use North East rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,100 to £6,400 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

A typical retrofit costs £6,450 to £9,450 including VAT for a three-bedroom house, and £4,950 to £7,950 when it goes in during a new build or full renovation. Flats start lower and large detached homes cost more because of the duct runs. We give a fixed price after the survey.
