Does my Shawlands home need a ventilation system?

If you've improved insulation, installed new windows, or sealed draughts in your vibrant south-side area property in Shawlands, 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 Shawlands?

A whole-house MVHR system for a vibrant south-side area property in Shawlands 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?
