What the work involves

It is common for a system to go years without a filter change after the builder hands over. A service puts that right. We work on most makes of MVHR unit and can supply filters for future changes, so you can do the in-between swaps yourself if you would rather.

Fault finding

Noisy fans, error codes, condensate leaks and boost controls that stopped working.

Annual service

Filters, exchanger and fan clean, drain check, controls and boost checked, airflow spot-checked at the valves.

Rebalance and recommission

Every valve measured and set again to the design rates, with a new commissioning sheet. Useful after building work or if rooms feel stuffy.

All of Devon, including Barnstaple, Bideford, Plymouth, Exeter and Paignton. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.

My new build MVHR has never been serviced. Is that a problem?

It is very common and usually fixable. Builders often hand over without explaining filter changes, so the first service often finds filters that are badly blocked. We clean everything and reset the airflows.

An MVHR service usually costs £145 to £245 including VAT, depending on the unit and how easy it is to reach. Filters are included for most common units; rebalancing every valve is priced separately at £245 to £445.

Are prices different in Devon?
