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.

How we do it
Units fit into a cored hole in an outside wall. Some alternate direction every minute or so, storing heat in a ceramic core; others run supply and extract side by side through a small exchanger. Either way, the room gets fresh air without the heat loss of an open window.

Questions about single-room heat recovery units in Buckinghamshire
Which rules apply to ventilation in Buckinghamshire?
In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
Can one unit do a whole flat?
One unit treats one room well. For a whole flat, two paired units or a wall-mounted PIV unit with good extract fans is usually better.
