Mechanical Vent Heating Recovery

Ready to embrace a sustainable future with cleaner, more efficient heating?

Genren are your trusted, MCS-certified installation professionals for designing and installing high-performance mechanical vent heating recovery solutions (MVRH).

INTRODUCTION

What is Mechanical Vent Heating Recovery? (MVHR)

MVHR is a straightforward system designed to work efficiently and with minimal disruption.

It uses a network of filters, fans, and vents by drawing in fresh air from outside and recycling otherwise wasted heat, to ensure your home is well-ventilated year-round. MVHR maintains a safe and comfortable temperature inside your home.

What types of MVHR are there?

Choosing the right MVHR depends on your property size, airtightness, budget, and needs. Consulting a specialist is recommended.

Centralised:

  • One unit with ductwork throughout the house.
  • Supplies fresh air to living areas and extracts stale air from kitchens/bathrooms.
  • Uses a heat exchanger to transfer heat.
  • Best for new builds or major renovations.

Decentralised (Single-Room):

  • Individual units in specific rooms.
  • No extensive ductwork needed.
  • Each unit ventilates its own room with heat recovery.
  • Good for retrofitting or problem areas.

The Benefits of MVHR:

  • Save Money, Protect the Environment
    MVHR systems are designed for efficiency, recycling heat and distributing it evenly throughout your home. This leads to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills, with average running costs between just £30-£70 per year.
  • Improve Your Family’s Health
    MVHR systems offer significant health benefits. By providing continuous ventilation, they prevent the build-up of dampness, a common problem that can lead to the growth of allergy-inducing spores and bugs.
  • Reduce Allergens
    MVHR systems filter out airborne dust, bugs, and pollen, replacing them with clean, fresh, and dry air. This creates a safer and healthier environment, particularly beneficial for those with asthma, hay fever, or eczema.

Heat pumps transfer heat from the outside air or ground into your home in winter and reverse the process in summer, providing both heating and cooling.

Modern heat pumps, especially cold-climate models, work effectively in temperatures well below freezing, although efficiency may decrease as temperatures drop significantly.

There are air-source heat pumps, ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps, and water-source heat pumps. Each has different installation needs and efficiencies.

Heat pumps can reduce energy costs by up to 50% compared to traditional heating systems, depending on your local climate and energy rates.

Suitability depends on your climate, current heating system, and energy efficiency of your home. Homes in moderate climates tend to benefit the most.

Heat pumps require regular filter changes and annual professional inspections, but maintenance is relatively low compared to traditional HVAC systems.

Costs vary widely depending on the type of heat pump and complexity of installation, ranging from £14,000 to £20,000 or more.

Yes, a heat pump can replace both a heating system and an air conditioner, as it provides both heating and cooling.

Heat pumps generally last between 10 to 15 years, but their lifespan can be longer with proper maintenance.

Yes, heat pumps are more environmentally friendly compared to fossil fuel heating systems, as they use less electricity and emit fewer greenhouse gases.

Modern ASHPs are quiet, comparable to a fridge. MCS regulations limit noise, and we ensure correct siting.

Yes, they efficiently extract heat even in freezing UK temperatures. Systems are sized for winter conditions.

Usually not in England and Wales, as it’s often ‘permitted development’. We ensure compliance with rules on location and noise. Exceptions apply for listed buildings or conservation areas.

Just enough space outside for the unit (wall-mounted or on the ground) with good airflow around it.
