What Is the Best MVHR System?

Logically, the best MVHR system would be one that can operate within multiple rooms, or your whole house. Which some MVHR systems, otherwise known as ‘whole house units’ can provide.

The reason a whole house unit is the best is simply because of its wide-reaching capabilities, creating a balanced home with fresh air that retains warmth. So which whole house unit is the best?

Can anyone get a whole house MVHR unit?

No, certain units are not applicable for specific builds, as this can range per system, you should check before committed to purchasing one. You can find all the details within our product descriptions.

For example, some flats or bungalows may not be able to get a whole house system, but a single room system may be fine. Depending on your circumstances, a single room unit may be the best option, especially if your ventilation and humidity troubles are only common in one specific room.

Which rooms need MVHR?

As everybody has different homes, there are different factors at play that can affect which room requires MVHR the most. However, generally the kitchen and bathrooms of a home require ventilation, due to the steam that is created through cooking and bathing respectively.  

Other rooms that may require MVHR more than others are ones where condensation occurs easily, or rooms that have lots of electronics operating, which have a by-product of heat, which can become condensation if you aren’t careful.

Can I prevent humidity in my home without ventilation?

No, without any ventilation, your home will quickly retain humidity which will eventually become mould. That being said, you can prevent or lessen humidity in your home by employing simple techniques, in conjunction with having a ventilation system.

Here are some techniques that can lessen humidity…

• Opening the window for brief periods.
• Opening windows when cooking or bathing.
• Drying your clothes outside.
• Using the cooker hood when cooking.
• Don’t keep every door to a room closed constantly.
