Single-room heat recovery units in Nottinghamshire

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 Nottinghamshire 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 Hucknall, Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop and Newark-on-Trent.

They are popular in flats, in north-facing bedrooms where mould keeps coming back, and in rooms with no route for ducting.
