Are you considering a more modern, highly efficient ventilation system for your home in Hereford? SpartaMech are adept in fitting MVHR’s - our engineers are highly skilled and experienced with adequate certifications.
How does a MVHR system work?
A MVHR system works by extracting stale air, and replacing it with fresh air from outside. This is typically done through the use of pipe work on either side of the home. The process involves a heat exchanger which removes heat before the air is expelled back into the atmosphere. It also works in the opposite way, the fresh air also passes through the heat exchanger to ensure freezing cold air doesn’t end up inside your home - in winter, this cold air can be heated in turn heating your whole property efficiently. It’s a clever system which is becoming increasingly popular. It’s highly energy efficient, and makes hardly any noise when running.
Benefits of a MVHR system
One of the most significant advantages of a MVHR system is reduced energy bills. Heating your home is quicker, and uses much less energy to do, so compared to traditional heating. You can expect to save around 25% on your energy bills! Alongside this huge saving, you’ll also be rewarded with clean, fresh air throughout your whole home. Let’s not forget, a MVHR system is also a highly sustainable method of heating emitting much lower CO2. By installing a MVHR system into your home, you’ll be significantly reducing your carbon footprint. As a society, we need to start looking at alternative ways of heating our homes to reduce even further negative impact on our environment - MVHR systems are a great solution to this.
How much does a MVHR system cost?
The cost of installing a MVHR system can vary drastically depending on what system you opt for and other factors like the size of your home. On average you could be looking anywhere from £3 - £7k. The cost will be on the higher end if your home is older with less effective insulation. Are you planning on refurbishing your older home? While this is in progress, adding a MVHR is a smart decision.
Who can install a MVHR system?
It’s important to only use a fully qualified engineer to ensure your MVHR system is installed correctly, to a high standard. Opting for an adept engineer will mean your MVHR unit conforms to legal building codes and safety standards. It will also mean your system will last longer and if you do incur any issues, you have someone with the experience and knowledge to advise.
