Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Systems

What are MVHR systems?

A Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system is an energy-efficient ventilation solution that continuously supplies fresh, filtered air to your home while recovering heat that would otherwise be lost. At Eco-Wright Energy, we design and install MVHR systems that improve indoor air quality while reducing heat loss.

MVHR systems extract stale, moist air from kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms and use the recovered heat to warm fresh air drawn in from outside. This process helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without wasting energy.

MVHR systems are particularly effective in well-insulated and airtight properties, including new builds, extensions, and renovated homes.

The Benefits of MVHR's

IInstalling an MVHR system with Eco-Wright Energy provides both health and energy-saving benefits:

· Improved indoor air quality – Constant supply of fresh, filtered air

· Reduced heat loss – Recovers up to 90% of heat from extracted air

· Lower heating demand – Works efficiently alongside heat pumps and underfloor heating

· Reduced condensation and damp – Help prevent mould growth

· Improved comfort levels – Consistent airflow without draughts

· Lower energy bills – Reduced ventilation heat losses

· Filtered air – Removes pollen, dust, and airborne pollutants

· Quiet and discreet operation – Designed to run continuously in the background

MVHR systems are ideal for homeowners seeking a healthier living environment without compromising energy efficiency.

Our MVHR installation process is carefully planned to ensure optimal airflow, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

1. Property Assessment & Ventilation Design

• We assess your home’s layout and ventilation requirements to design an effective MVHR system.

2. Bespoke System Design

• Each MVHR system is custom designed, with ductwork routes planned to minimise visual impact and maximise performance.

3. MVHR Installation

• The MVHR unit is installed in a suitable location (loft, utility room, or plant room)

• Ducting is installed to supply and extract air throughout the property

• External intake and exhaust vents are fitted

4. Commissioning & Airflow Balancing

• The system is fully tested and balanced to ensure correct airflow rates in every room.

5. Handover, Support & Maintenance

• We explain filter changes, controls, and system operation, with ongoing servicing available from our local team.

Most MVHR installations are completed within 5- 10 days, depending on property size and build stage.
