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.
Oxfordshire and surrounding areas
We cover all of Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon, Bicester and Didcot. Each town below has its own page with local guide prices.
Postcode districts we cover include GL7, OX2, OX7, OX12, OX17, OX27, OX44 and SN7. Buildings across Oxfordshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

- 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

How it works in Oxfordshire

Fresh-air needs are calculated per room.

Points to plan for in Oxfordshire
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Leased premises
If your Oxfordshire 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.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Oxfordshire
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
