Heat Recovery & Ventilation Systems: Using the heat you have already paid for!

Heat Recovery Systems help you saving money and protecting the environment

Modern buildings need to breathe meaning mechanical ventilation is an absolute necessity for our physical health and the buildings fabric and structure.

Heating commercial buildings can be difficult 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.

Commercial Applications

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.

Our Heat Recovery Units work across any industry

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;

• Offices

Residential and Commercial Heat Recovery Systems

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.

How do you determine the size of the heating & ventilation unit needed?

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.
