How we approach MVHR in Great Malvern

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. 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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). For homes, it sets minimum extract rates such as 15 litres a second for a bathroom and 30 or 60 for a kitchen, and expects mechanical systems to be airflow-tested.

Questions from Great Malvern

Do you cover Great Malvern and nearby?

Yes. We cover Great Malvern and nearby places including Worcester, Tewkesbury, Droitwich and Stourport-on-Severn. 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.
