Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is an advanced ventilation system that provides continuous fresh air while recovering heat from outgoing air, improving indoor comfort and energy efficiency. As homes in Basingstoke and across the UK become more airtight due to modern insulation standards, effective ventilation is crucial to prevent stale air, condensation, and high heating costs.
