Heat Recovery System
A heat recovery system works via a heat recovery ventilation unit which is usually located in the roof space or plant room of a building. Rather than just extracting air and replacing it with the air from outside, a heat recovery system draws the heat from the extracted air and passes it to the air which is being filtered in from outside. The extract and supply air do not flow within the same pipes and there would be no cross contamination of the different air flows. The heat recovery unit is connected to room air valves via a network of ducting throughout the building.

With a heat recovery system, you make use of what already exists as well as reduce our collective impact on the environment, and that includes the amount of heat we lose to the environment daily. Heat recovery systems work by using the valuable warm air or water in a property and use it in a positive way.
Eco Friendly
Better for the environment
As technology advances towards greener energy solutions, heat recovery systems exemplify how we are improving both our quality of life and energy efficiency. A heat recovery system promotes air circulation within a building by replacing stale air with fresh, cooler air that is warmed by the ventilation system. Some systems can extract up to 95% of the heat from stale air and transfer it to the fresh air being recirculated.
Energy Efficient
Cut down on your energy costs
HRV systems help to reduce dust and pollen throughout your premises by filtering the air. They significantly lower moisture, condensation, and odours from cooking, while also improving energy efficiency. By reducing moisture and condensation, HRV systems minimise the risk of damp and mould, creating a healthier environment.
Installing a heat recovery system can lead to substantial energy savings and keep your space warmer during winter. In fact, new buildings can see up to a 30% reduction in heating bills.
Climate Control
Temperature can be controlled in each room
Modern heat recovery systems are designed to operate intelligently, reducing the amount of heat extracted during the summer months to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. Alternatively, they can draw excess heat from warmer areas, such as kitchens or wet rooms.
In offices or commercial buildings, these systems help keep workers cool in summer and warm in winter, all without the need to open windows or use heaters inefficiently.
