Single-room heat recovery units in Cornwall
Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across Cornwall.
- From £625 inc VAT per unit
- Free survey
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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Cornwall, from Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro and Camborne. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it
Either way, the room gets fresh air without the heat loss of an open window. They are popular in flats, in north-facing bedrooms where mould keeps coming back, and in rooms with no route for ducting. Two alternating units can work as a pair across a flat.
Single problem room
One unit in the bedroom or kitchen that suffers most.
Paired units in a flat
Two alternating units working together across living spaces.
Kitchen-diner
A higher-rated unit sized for cooking moisture alongside an extract hood.

Questions about single-room heat recovery units in Cornwall
Which rules apply to ventilation in Cornwall?
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.
How noisy are they?
On low speed most units are quiet enough for bedrooms; sound-reduced models are available. Boost speed is more noticeable.
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.
