Are MVHR systems worth it?

Within older buildings that have a persistent issue with dampness and mould. MVHR units are a total blessing that will help eliminate these ongoing issues. If you are looking to achieve passivhaus levels of air tightness, then a MVHR is a must. But, there are some things to consider…

Things to consider when getting a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system:

  • The building fabric
  • Location of MVHR unit
  • Air tightness within the building
  • Space requirements of ducting
  • Number of people within the property

An MVHR system is usually the preferred method in airtight homes as it extracts moist stale air and supplies fresh warmed filtered air into the house while recovering up to 95% of the heat of the extracted air. Unlike other ventilation options, the MVHR system offers both ventilation and heat recovery.
