Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across County Down.
- From £550 inc VAT per unit

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 County Down, including Castlereagh, Newtownards, Newry, Banbridge and Dundonald. Prices use Northern Ireland rates. Visits here are by arrangement: we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit.
