Single-room heat recovery units in County Antrim
Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across County Antrim.
- From £550 inc VAT per unit
- By arrangement

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.
County Antrim has every kind of building, from old terraces to new estates and business parks, and every job is designed around the building in front of us, not a standard kit.

Questions about single-room heat recovery units in County Antrim
Is the survey free in County Antrim?
Visits here are by arrangement. Because of the ferry or long travel involved, we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit, and we can often combine visits to keep the cost down.
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.
Which rules apply to ventilation in County Antrim?
In Northern Ireland, ventilation is covered by Technical Booklet K of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). Workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993.
