What is a MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system?
A MVHR system is a piece of equipment that is integrated into your home that delivers fresh filtered air without creating uncomfortable drafts, and without creating excessive demand on your heating and cooling systems.
The way it works is by recovering the thermal energy from the air within the building and using this to precondition the outside fresh air as it is drawn into the building.
It will work well in both summer and winter with smart controls on most modern units able to control a bypass flap that allows the unit to bring in fresh air directly without passing it through the heat exchanger.
What are the health benefits of a MVHR system?
A MVHR system is designed to provide good air quality in your home. This will help to prevent issues such as mould or condensation occurring.
Indoor air quality is essential for health and wellbeing, In the MVHR unit the air brought in from outside is passed through replaceable filters in the unit.
MVHR is also an advantage where homes are situated close to industrial/ commercial areas or near to a busy road which may have poor external air quality levels.
