Ventilation for Every Room in the House

Whole house ventilation provides controlled, continuous background ventilation throughout the entire property — not just the kitchen and bathroom. It replaces stale, moist air with fresh filtered air and is the most effective way to maintain healthy indoor air quality and prevent moisture problems in tightly insulated modern homes.

We install three main types of whole house ventilation: Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV) systems that continuously extract from wet rooms; Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems that extract from wet rooms and supply filtered fresh air to living rooms while recovering up to 90% of heat; and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems that gently pressurise the dwelling with filtered air from the loft. We assess your home and recommend the right system for your build type, insulation level and budget.

  • MVHR for well-insulated new builds and retrofits
  • MEV for continuous whole-house extract ventilation
  • PIV for cost-effective whole-dwelling air treatment
  • Humidity-controlled boost on demand

New Builds and Retrofits

We work on new build properties where ventilation is designed at first fix, and on retrofit installations into existing homes, including those requiring discreet duct routing to minimise disruption.

Benefits of Whole House Ventilation

A properly designed whole house system improves air quality, reduces moisture and creates a healthier living environment.

🌬

Fresh Air All Day

Continuous background ventilation supplies fresh filtered air to every room without opening windows.

💧

Moisture Control

Excess moisture from cooking, bathing and breathing extracted before it causes condensation or mould.

🌡

Heat Recovery

MVHR systems recover up to 90% of heat from extracted air — fresh air in, virtually no heat lost.

🌿

Healthier Air

Pollutants, allergens and CO2 diluted by continuous fresh air supply improve health and sleep.

🔇

Quiet Operation

Low-speed continuous background ventilation is whisper-quiet and requires no user intervention.

📋

Part F Compliant

Systems designed to meet Building Regulations Part F minimum ventilation rates for dwellings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is whole house ventilation different from just opening windows?

Whole house ventilation provides controlled, continuous background ventilation regardless of weather or season. It removes moisture and pollutants from specific sources and supplies filtered fresh air — something window opening can't achieve consistently, especially in winter when windows stay closed.

Which system is right for my home — MVHR, MEV or PIV?

MVHR is the most energy-efficient option for well-insulated properties and recovers heat from extracted air. MEV is effective for whole-house extraction without a supply element. PIV is a cost-effective option for condensation and air quality treatment in existing properties. We'll recommend the right system after assessing your home.

How much does whole house ventilation cost to run?

A well-designed whole house ventilation system running continuously typically costs between £20 and £50 per year in electricity depending on the system type and house size. MVHR systems offset much of this through heat recovery savings.

Can whole house ventilation be installed in an older property?

Yes. We retrofit whole house ventilation systems into existing properties of all ages. Duct routing is planned to minimise disruption and maintain the character of the property. We'll advise on the most practical solution for your specific home during the survey.
