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.
Merseyside and surrounding areas
We cover all of Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport and Wallasey. Each town below has its own page with local guide prices.
Postcode districts we cover include CH25, CH44, L2, L13, L24, L35, L74 and WN5. Buildings across Merseyside range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What is included
- Fresh-air rate and unit sizing
- Supply and extract ductwork and grilles
- Intake and exhaust terminals
- Controls with CO2 or time control
- Balancing and commissioning

The steps for a project in Merseyside
Calculate
Fresh-air needs are calculated per room.
Select
A unit is chosen for air flow, efficiency and space.
Install
Unit, ductwork, terminals and controls are fitted. We keep work areas in Merseyside screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance
Supply and extract air flows are balanced and commissioned.
What to think about in Merseyside
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Merseyside often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Working hours
Most Merseyside businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Merseyside
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

How efficient is heat recovery ventilation?
Commercial units commonly recover the majority of the heat in the extract air, depending on the unit type and conditions. We give the figures for the unit we propose.
Does MVHR cool a building?
Not really. It moderates incoming air temperature and has a summer bypass, but cooling comes from air conditioning.
