How to Budget for MVHR in a Retrofit Project

Including an MVHR system in your retrofit project is a smart investment for energy efficiency and indoor air quality. 

Choosing an appropriately sized unit with low running noise and energy-efficient operation at a decent price may feel daunting!

Here’s how to plan your budget effectively…

1. Assess Your Property

The size, layout, and airtightness of your home will impact the cost of your system the most. Larger or older properties may require more extensive systems to handle airflow demands effectively, as well as requiring more extensive ductwork and larger units.

2. Factor in Installation Costs

Retrofitting can be more complex than installing in a new build. Costs will vary based on ducting requirements, ceiling space, and whether you’re using existing voids or creating new ones builds due to the need to navigate existing structures.

3. Consider Unit and Features

Additional features like advanced filters or humidity control may enhance the system but may increase costs. Ensure the selected unit fits within available spaces without compromising efficiency!

4. Plan for Long-Term Maintenance

Regular maintenance keeps your system running smoothly- Budget for filter replacements every 6 months and periodic servicing to extend the unit’s lifespan!

Filters should be replaced every six months, and periodic servicing is essential to maintain optimal performance.
