Single-room heat recovery units in Northamptonshire
Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across Northamptonshire.
- From £575 inc VAT per unit
- Free survey
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 Northamptonshire, including Desborough, Northampton, Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough. Prices use East Midlands rates. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

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.
Kitchen-diner
A higher-rated unit sized for cooking moisture alongside an extract hood.
Sound-reduced versions
Quieter units for bedrooms.
Single problem room
One unit in the bedroom or kitchen that suffers most.
