Does my Polwarth home need a ventilation system?

If you've improved insulation, installed new windows, or sealed draughts in your attractive Victorian tenements property in Polwarth, 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 Polwarth?

A whole-house MVHR system for a attractive Victorian tenements property in Polwarth 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 attractive Victorian tenements properties in Polwarth with good insulation, MVHR is the better investment.
