Keeping your home warm in winter without high energy bills can be challenging. But with Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), you can enjoy fresh air while retaining warmth. MVHR not only brings fresh, filtered air into your home but also recycles up to 97% of the heat, keeping the chill out and your heating costs down.
How Does MVHR Work to Retain Warmth?
MVHR systems work by removing stale air from your home and replacing it with fresh air—without wasting the warmth you’ve paid to create. Here’s how it keeps warmth indoors during winter:
- Heat Recovery Process: MVHR takes warm, stale air from rooms like kitchens and bathrooms and directs it through a heat exchanger. This exchanger captures up to 97% of the warmth and transfers it to the incoming fresh air. It means you’re not losing heat every time fresh air enters.
- Balanced Airflow: With balanced air exchange, MVHR systems prevent draughts and keep rooms evenly warm, eliminating cold spots and promoting consistent comfort across your home.
- Energy-Efficient Ventilation: While traditional ventilation lets cold air directly in, reducing indoor temperatures, MVHR keeps warm air inside, which helps reduce the need for additional heating.
Why Choose MVHR for Winter Comfort?
Installing MVHR can make a huge difference in how your home feels during the winter months. Here’s why it’s a great choice:
- Lowers Heating Costs: By recycling warmth, MVHR reduces the need for extra heating. That keeps your energy bills under control even as temperatures drop.
- Improves Indoor Air Quality: MVHR provides continuous airflow, reducing pollutants, allergens, and excess moisture without letting cold air in.
- Prevents Damp and Mould: Winter often brings dampness, which can cause mould. MVHR regulates humidity levels, ensuring your home remains dry and free from harmful mould growth.
Is an MVHR System Right for Your Home?
MVHR is especially effective in well-insulated, airtight homes. In modern homes with good insulation, MVHR maximises energy efficiency while avoiding issues like dampness and draughts common with other systems.
