MECHANICAL & VENTILATION HEAT RECOVERY
We supply and install MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery) units at The Heatworks to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality. When paired with heat pumps, solar panels, or battery storage, MVHR systems enhance your SAP rating and provide a cost-effective solution for modern homes and buildings. These systems deliver a controlled flow of fresh air while recovering heat from outgoing air, reducing energy consumption and creating a healthier, more comfortable living environment. Clivet units include HEPA filters, making them ideal for allergy sufferers by reducing pollen exposure indoors.
HOW MVHR SYSTEMS WORK
The MVHR systems of The Heatworks operate using a heat exchanger that transfers heat between outgoing stale air and incoming fresh air. The system comprises a supply air unit, an extract air unit, and connecting ductwork. Fresh, filtered air is delivered to central areas, such as hallways, living spaces, or sleeping spaces, while moist or stale air is extracted from kitchens and bathrooms. The heat exchanger preheats the incoming air, maintaining a constant, comfortable indoor temperature. This ensures energy efficiency, even heat distribution, and reduced reliance on traditional heating or cooling systems.
BENEFITS OF MVHR SYSTEMS
MVHR systems provide numerous advantages:
-
IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ): Replaces stale air with clean, fresh air throughout the building.
-
ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Recovering heat from outgoing air can reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by up to 50%.
-
COMFORT: Delivers even, draft-free air distribution for a consistent indoor climate.
-
REDUCED CONDENSATION: Helps prevent mould and moisture build-up.
-
NOISE REDUCTION: Operates quietly, eliminating the need to open windows and reducing external noise.
APPLICATIONS OF MVHR SYSTEMS
MVHR technology is versatile and suitable for:
-
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS: Energy-efficient homes benefit from fresh, clean air and lower heating costs.
-
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS: Offices, schools, and hospitals gain improved indoor air quality and comfort.
-
RETROFIT PROJECTS: Existing buildings can be upgraded without extensive renovations.
PASSIVE HOUSE & LOW-ENERGY BUILDINGS: Ideal for airtight, energy-efficient properties, supporting sustainable and eco-friendly ventilation solutions.
