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.
Shirley and surrounding areas
Shirley has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Solihull is about 3 km away.
That includes premises in B90, BH23, CR0, DE6 and SO15 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Solihull, Birmingham and Smethwick. Buildings across the West Midlands 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 the job covers
- Fresh-air rate and unit sizing

Points to plan for in Shirley
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
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.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Working hours
Most Shirley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

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).
