Heat recovery ventilation (MVHR) supplies fresh air and extracts stale air through a unit with a heat exchanger, which transfers much of the heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air.
Covering Barnes and nearby
Premises in Barnes are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in SW13 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Chiswick (about 2 km), Putney (about 3 km) and Fulham (about 3 km). Buildings across London range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Local points to consider
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Leased premises
If your Barnes premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
