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
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.

Questions about single-room heat recovery units in Cumbria
Which rules apply to ventilation in Cumbria?
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.

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.
