Selecting the right MVHR system is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality, reducing heating costs, and preventing condensation issues. With so many options available, homeowners often struggle to determine the best system for their needs.
Selecting the right MVHR system is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality, reducing heating costs, and preventing condensation issues. With so many options available, homeowners often struggle to determine the best system for their needs.
Choosing an MVHR system that is too small can result in poor ventilation and inefficiency, while an oversized unit may lead to unnecessary energy consumption and increased costs. This guide helps homeowners identify the best system for their property.
As new-build regulations become stricter, MVHR is becoming the go-to ventilation solution for modern, airtight homes. The benefits include:
A homeowner in Bristol needed an MVHR system for their newly renovated, airtight home. After consulting an expert, they selected a mid-sized unit with a 92% heat recovery rate. As a result:
A well-chosen MVHR system can pay for itself within 8–10 years, with heating cost savings of £250–£500 annually.
