A single-room heat recovery unit is a compact through-wall fan that supplies and extracts air for one room while recovering much of the heat from the outgoing air. It is the answer when one bedroom, kitchen or flat has a condensation problem but whole-home ducting is not practical.
We carry out single-room heat recovery units across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Stonehaven, Ellon, Aberdeen, Peterhead and Nigg. Prices use Scotland rates. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.
