Does my Barrhead home need a ventilation system?

If you've improved insulation, installed new windows, or sealed draughts in your traditional town with property in Barrhead, you may need mechanical ventilation to prevent condensation and maintain air quality. MVHR systems recover heat while providing fresh air.

How much does MVHR cost in Barrhead?

A whole-house MVHR system for a traditional town with property in Barrhead costs £2,500–£4,000 installed. Single-room heat recovery units cost £1,200–£1,800. The heat recovery saves enough energy to offset running costs.

What's the difference between MEV and MVHR?

MEV (mechanical extract ventilation) extracts stale air and brings in fresh air without heat recovery. MVHR recovers up to 90% of the heat from extracted air. For traditional town with properties in Barrhead with good insulation, MVHR is the better investment.
