Does my Mountcastle home need a ventilation system?

If you've improved insulation, installed new windows, or sealed draughts in your quiet residential streets property in Mountcastle, 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 Mountcastle?

A whole-house MVHR system for a quiet residential streets property in Mountcastle 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?
