Does my Marchmont home need a ventilation system?

If you've improved insulation, installed new windows, or sealed draughts in your classic Edinburgh tenement property in Marchmont, 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 Marchmont?

A whole-house MVHR system for a classic Edinburgh tenement property in Marchmont 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 classic Edinburgh tenement properties in Marchmont with good insulation, MVHR is the better investment.
