Single-room heat recovery units in Northumberland
Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across Northumberland.
- From £550 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 Northumberland, including Prudhoe, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth, Cramlington and Ashington. Prices use North East rates. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.
