What It Delivers

What a well-designed system provides

Continuous fresh, filtered air

Supply terminals deliver fresh outdoor air to bedrooms and living areas around the clock. Extract terminals remove stale, humid air from bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms.

Heat recovery up to 90%

A counterflow heat exchanger transfers warmth from outgoing air to incoming fresh air — without mixing the two streams. Up to 90% of heat is recovered.

Moisture and condensation control

Balanced ventilation maintains relative humidity within healthy limits, protecting structure from interstitial condensation and reducing mould risk.

Filtration — clean incoming air

Incoming air passes through fine filters (G4/F7 or equivalent) before entering living spaces, removing pollen, dust, particulates and allergens.

Acoustic comfort

A properly designed MVHR system operates at inaudible levels in habitable rooms. Duct sizing and routing are the critical design variables.

Passive House compatible

MVHR is mandatory in certified Passive House buildings. We design to Passive House Institute standards and work with certifiers and PHPP modellers.

Our Approach

Designed for your building — not a generic install

MVHR performance depends almost entirely on design quality and installation standard. A poorly designed system — undersized ducts, poorly located terminals, unbalanced airflow — will underperform regardless of the unit specification.

We provide full ductwork drawings to your builder before installation begins, coordinate on site during construction, and commission every system with measured airflow verification at every terminal.

  • Centralised ducted systems and decentralised through-wall units
  • Zehnder, Aerofresh and Lunos — brands we know and trust
  • Suitable for new builds, renovations and Passive House projects
  • Commissioning reports provided for certification and handover

Our Process

From design to aftercare

01

Design consultation

Review of plans, airtightness targets and heating strategy. Unit selection and ductwork approach agreed before any drawings are produced.

02

Ductwork design

Full duct layout with supply and extract terminal positions, coordinated with your architect or builder before construction.

03

Supply & installation

We supply all components and install the system during fit-out, with on-site coordination at each relevant stage.

04

Commissioning

Every terminal measured and adjusted. Commissioning report issued with all values versus design targets.

05

Handover & aftercare

System walkthrough, user documentation and filter replacement schedule. Annual servicing available.
