A pleasant indoor climate in your home is very important for everyone's well-being and health. In many new-build homes, a Single room MVHR unit is installed for this purpose, responsible for removing polluted air and bringing in fresh air, where (the name says it all): heat is recovered. In existing homes, this is often a challenge, especially in terms of installation. A Single room MVHR unit can provide a solution to this! Find out in this blog everything you need to know about Single room MVHR units and when it is suitable to install one.

How does a Single room MVHR unit work?

In a decentralised heat recovery system, the air in each individual room is treated separately, making this system more flexible compared to centralised ventilation systems. Unlike centralised systems, there is no need for an extensive duct system to make use of heat recovery. Instead, a duct is used between the inner and outer walls. This contains a heat exchanger, which extracts heat from the exhaust air and transfers it to the fresh air entering the room. For a Single room MVHR unit, all you need is a wall penetration and electricity.

Single room MVHR units are a suitable choice for existing homes where avoiding demolition is important. This is because these units can be installed in any individual room. Each room is ventilated independently, meaning there is no airflow and no need for ventilation ducts. The downside is that multiple Single room MVHR units are needed if you want to ventilate multiple rooms in the house.
