Choosing the right MVHR system for your retrofit project can feel like a big decision, but it’s easier than you think!
Whether you’re upgrading an old property or making an eco-friendly improvement, the right system will boost your home's energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and comfort.
Here’s how to make the best choice for your home…
1. Understand Your Property’s Needs
The first step in choosing an MVHR system is understanding the size and layout of your property. Larger homes or those with complex layouts will need a more powerful unit to ensure effective ventilation. For smaller spaces, a compact system may be sufficient.
2. Choose the Right Unit Size
When retrofitting, it's important to pick a unit that’s properly sized for your home. An undersized unit will struggle to perform, while an oversized one can be inefficient and noisy- and who wants that!
Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for suitable property sizes and consult a professional to ensure you get the perfect fit.
3. Consider Ducting and Installation
In retrofit projects, ducting installation can be tricky, especially in homes with limited ceiling space or existing structures.
Opt for a flexible or semi-rigid ducting for easier installation in tight spaces. Our specialists can guide you on the best layout and help minimise disruptions to your home!
4. Think About Extra Features
Many MVHR units come with optional features such as high-grade filters, comfort cooling, or humidity control! If you live in a high-pollution area, or suffer from allergies, investing in these extras can make a big difference to indoor air quality and comfort.
5. Keep Your Budget in Mind
MVHR systems vary in price, so it’s important to set a budget and stick to it. While the upfront cost might seem high, the energy savings and improved air quality make it a worthwhile investment…
