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
