A heat recovery system can significantly improve your indoor air quality as well as your energy efficiency.
Modern buildings need to have a proper airflow; with it, mechanical ventilation is an absolute necessity for our physical health and the building's fabric and structure.
Heating commercial buildings can be challenging and costly. With the cost of living on the rise, installing a heat recovery system ensures that up to 95% of the heat you have paid for is recycled and reused to continue heating the space, saving on costs & helping the environment. Our air movement systems, including our heat recovery options, are helping businesses across the UK cut down on costs and reduce their environmental footprint.
Modern commercial buildings are often built with heat retention in mind, sealing draughts and reducing reliance on heating measures; however, with this comes a breeding ground for moisture and contaminants as the air inside is unable to escape or be replaced easily.
This can easily lead to decline in physical health, deterioration of a building and more. Our heat recovery & ventilation systems are designed to clean the air, retain the heat and provide a fresher air environment that is warm. These machines remove contaminants and moisture, ensuring the occupants of the building and the building itself are kept in optimal conditions.
As we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors during the cooler months, cleaner, fresher, healthier air is becoming increasingly vital.
Unfortunately, the quality of our internal air can be up to 5 times worse than the quality of air outdoors. As more and more cities focus on reducing outdoor pollutants, we are also focusing on indoor pollutants to ensure a healthier environment for all.
As new legislation is being introduced on the quality of the air we breathe within buildings and commercial premises, we can help companies across the UK that are looking to improve their air quality management facilities. Many existing extraction fans or ducted extraction systems are simply taking the air out of a building and sending it outdoors, meaning the system then has to work twice as hard to not only replace that air but heat it too.

The Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) is generally installed as part of a ducted system. Through the wall products are also available for single room applications.
With ducted systems, our HRUs can be installed complete with motors for a balanced system or just as a Heat Recovery chamber, so it is incorporated within any existing ventilation systems.
Our team of experts will first carry out a full assessment of the premises to ensure that you are getting the right option for your space. Once the assessment is complete, we then source and install the unit, providing a full start to finish service for our clients.
We have worked with an array of companies, both private and public, to provide the highest quality internal air possible. We cover a multitude of industries including, but not limited to;
We offer whole property solutions as well as single room options. Many commercial or residential properties focus on single rooms like a kitchen, bathroom or utility room, but it’s important to consider a whole building approach too, whether it’s an entire house or an entire office block.
A whole house or building solution, considers where people spend most of their time within the building and works to improve the indoor air quality throughout.
In a residential setting, a central MVHR would be located within a loft with insulated ducting running to a series of ceiling grilles – as shown within the adjacent image. Rooms require a regular supply of fresh air and as a very general rule of thumb, you would look to achieve 0.5 -1.0 air change rate per hour on a trickle setting, with a boost setting available for those rooms with higher levels of air moisture and lessened ventilation such as the bathroom, utility or kitchen usage.
There are variables that determine the required air extraction rate of a space such as the size of the living space, number of extraction points, lengths of ducting, the causes and the number of occupants within a property, meaning a more demanding environment may require something higher.
It is absolutely paramount to select the correct size product for the application as every property is different when it comes to Air Quality issues which is why we offer a comprehensive assessment phase at the start of any project.
