Now more than ever, energy efficiency is a top priority for homeowners; with bills rising and air quality becoming a question, one technology is gaining traction.
Mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery are becoming more popular across the country, making their way into residential and commercial properties. It’s one of the latest innovations we offer at Humphrey & Crockett, and we’ll explain why it’s a wise investment for your home.
How do MVHR systems work?
MVHR systems (Mechanical ventilation heat recovery) extract stale air and introduce fresh air to your property without losing heat. When air is exchanged, the system recovers heat from outgoing air to warm the incoming air, so that you can expect balanced temperatures.
It’s a cutting edge home heating solution that we now offer and we expect it will become increasingly popular due to a growing number of homeowners who are prioritising healthier living and opting for cleaner air conditions.
The Benefits of Installing an MVHR System
There are numerous benefits to installing a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system, which is ideal for well-insulated homes. Here are a few:
- It’s energy-efficient, recovering up to 90% of the heat that would be lost, reducing your energy bills.
- The system improves indoor air quality, which is ideal for people with allergies and sensitivities or anyone looking to ventilate their home better.
- The consistent fresh airflow helps to reduce stale air, which can promote mould growth, allergens and pollutants. It’s especially smart for families with children, creating a safe, fresh environment.
- MVHR creates a steady temperature throughout your home for more comfort.
It’s also a major plus for homeowners who are conscious of their carbon footprint, as an MVHR system is aligned with the UK’s renewable and low-carbon home goals, making it a choice for the future. If you’re worried about additional noise, one huge bonus is that MVHR units are quiet and seamlessly blend into homes and commercial buildings.
Is Installing an MVHR unit Right for You?
MVHR units work best in renovated properties and new builds as they are generally better insulated. They are also a smart solution for homes where allergies are a major concern, especially for those who work from home and spend extended time in the house.
Professional Installation is Vital
MVHR systems are designed to be efficient and high-performing, but they still need to be properly installed. At Humphrey and Crockett, we offer start-to-finish service, including the initial consultation, design and installation, tailored to your home’s layout and needs.
