Does my Tollcross home need a ventilation system?

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

A whole-house MVHR system for a Victorian tenements and property in Tollcross 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?
