Smarter MVHR design means quieter, healthier, efficient homes

Well-designed MVHR systems run quietly & efficiently, improving air quality and saving energy. Poor design can mean noise, wasted heat and higher bills.

When planning to install a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system in a new build or refurbishment, it’s essential to consider it from the earliest design stages. Thoughtful planning can make the difference between a system that works quietly and efficiently in the background – and one that compromises comfort, energy savings and building performance.

Why early design matters:
MVHR can recover up to 91% of heat that would otherwise be lost, but only if the system is designed and installed correctly. Poor duct routing and awkward layouts can lead to wasted energy, noise and poor air quality. That’s why our in-house team works closely with architects, consultants and contractors to design MVHR systems that integrate seamlessly into the fabric of the building. Our approach ensures:

  • Up to 91% heat recovery
  • Draught-free circulation of filtered fresh air
  • Condensation and odour removal for healthier homes
  • Noise-free performance – sound modelled to run below 25dB
  • Systems designed, supplied and commissioned by one trusted provider
