Heat recovery ventilation
Heat recovery ventilation brings fresh air into your home without throwing away the heat. It’s how a well sealed home keeps the air fresh and condensation down.
A common sign
“Since we sealed up the house, the windows drip every morning.”
About heat recovery ventilation
Fresh air without the cold.
A heat recovery ventilation system draws stale air out of rooms like the kitchen and bathroom, and brings fresh air in from outside. As the two streams pass each other inside the unit, warmth moves from the outgoing air to the incoming air.
It runs quietly in the background, filtering incoming air and helping to control humidity. It’s most useful in well sealed, well insulated homes, where air doesn’t leak in through gaps anymore.

Worth knowing
Ask about filter changes and servicing. Like any system that moves air, it works best when the filters are kept clean.

Other upgrades in this category.
For the damp bedroom wall, the window that streams with condensation, and the musty smell under the floor.
Sub floor ventilation
Fans and vents that dry out the space under the floor, which is where a musty smell upstairs usually starts.
Mould removal and treatment
Treating the growth and finding what is feeding it. Cleaning it off without fixing the moisture just delays it.
Rising damp treatment
Moisture drawn up through the brickwork, showing as tide marks and bubbling paint near the floor.
Indoor air quality testing
Measures humidity, moisture and spore levels so the work is aimed at something rather than guessed at.
