Does my Musselburgh home need a ventilation system?

How much does MVHR cost in Musselburgh?

A whole-house MVHR system for a historic town with property in Musselburgh 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.
