Does my Slateford home need a ventilation system?

If you've improved insulation, installed new windows, or sealed draughts in your traditional tenements and property in Slateford, 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 Slateford?

A whole-house MVHR system for a traditional tenements and property in Slateford 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?
