MVHR and ventilation
MVHR and ventilationacross East Sussex
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, designed and installed for airtight modern homes and commercial properties: fresh air in every room, with the heat kept in.

What we do
Why airtight homes need planned ventilation
A well-insulated, airtight home keeps its heat in, but it also keeps in moisture and stale air. MVHR gives it a steady supply of fresh air without opening windows and losing the warmth.
Stale, damp air is drawn out of kitchens and bathrooms, fresh air is brought into living rooms and bedrooms, and a heat exchanger in the unit passes the warmth from the outgoing air to the incoming air.
What's included
- MVHR system design and installation
- Whole-house ventilation
- Energy-efficient airflow management
- Airtight new builds and renovations
How it works
How MVHR works
One unit, usually in the loft or a utility room, and four air paths. The heat exchanger is where the warmth changes hands.
- 1Fresh air inFresh air is drawn in from outside to the unit.
- 2Warmed air to living rooms and bedroomsThe unit passes it through the heat exchanger, where it picks up warmth from the outgoing air, then supplies it to living rooms and bedrooms.
- 3Stale air out of kitchens and bathroomsWarm, damp, stale air is extracted from kitchens and bathrooms and carried back to the unit.
- 4Exhaust outHaving given up its heat, the stale air leaves the house.
What we do
Designed, installed and set up for your home
01
Design
We plan where the unit goes, how the ducts run and where each air valve sits, so every room gets the right amount of fresh air.
02
Installation
We fit the heat recovery unit, the insulated duct runs and a valve in each room, working around your build or renovation.
03
Airflow set-up
We set the airflow room by room so the system is balanced, quiet and doing its job before we hand it over.
Where it fits
Where MVHR makes sense
Airtight new builds
Homes built to modern standards are sealed tightly, so ventilation has to be planned in.
Deep renovations
New insulation and windows make an older house far more airtight than it was.
Alongside a heat pump
In a low-energy home, MVHR, a heat pump and underfloor heating are often designed together.
Commercial properties
We design and install ventilation for commercial spaces as well as homes.

Questions
Common questions
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. It brings fresh air into an airtight home and takes stale air out, recovering heat from the outgoing air. It is ideal for well-insulated new builds and renovations.
If your home is very airtight, such as a new build or a deep renovation with new insulation and windows, planned ventilation is important. We'll tell you whether MVHR suits your home.
Yes, a little. The filters in the unit need cleaning or changing from time to time.
Yes. Ventilation, heat pumps and underfloor heating can be designed together for the same home, and we install all three.
