- From £575 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.
Across Dunbartonshire the job is priced the same way wherever you are: what is fitted, how long it takes and how far we travel. Towns we cover include Kirkintilloch, Milngavie, Bearsden, Clydebank and Vale of Leven.
