Home ventilation, Isle of Wight
Single-room heat recovery units in the Isle of Wight
Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across the Isle of Wight.
- From £650 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.
Across the Isle of Wight 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 Sandown, Newport, Ryde and Cowes.

How we do it
Units fit into a cored hole in an outside wall. Some alternate direction every minute or so, storing heat in a ceramic core; others run supply and extract side by side through a small exchanger. Either way, the room gets fresh air without the heat loss of an open window.

Questions about single-room heat recovery units in the Isle of Wight
Which rules apply to ventilation in the Isle of Wight?
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.
