When people think about improving their home's comfort, they often focus on things they can see and feel immediately: underfloor heating, better insulation, new windows, or smart thermostats. Ventilation, however, is different. In fact, the best ventilation systems are the ones you barely notice at all. The Problem with "Noticeable" Ventilation Traditional ventilation often relies on opening windows, extractor fans, or trickle vents. While these methods can help remove stale

Highlighting the four key stages of our procedure to getting MVHR installed in your property Design MVHR systems are primarily installed in new build properties where the system can be implemented early in the build schedule. This helps the design process run smoothly and enables our designers to work effectively with the space available in the floor zones and roof voids. MVHR systems can be fitted into existing properties, although this is only possible alongside extensive r

With homes being built more efficiently and more airtight than ever, the demand for summer cooling options in UK homes is increasing. As an MVHR manufacturer we’re often asked if our systems can help to cool as well as recover heat. The short answer is no; MVHR is primarily a heat recovery system – cooling just isn’t what it’s designed for. But why? Fundamentally, MVHR systems just don’t move enough air to achieve effective cooling. The systems are designed to achieve 0.5 air

A look into the steps of planning for MVHR

Managing Director of Rega, Chris Hamilton, talks about how MVHR can help to reduce energy consumption and heating costs.

Self-build in Cambridgeshire highlights the advantages of planning ahead with self-install MVHR. Mark’s project was complex with many elements to be considered: using ICF construction (insulated concrete form) required advance planning in order to integrate the MVHR ductwork with the build. As a result of this, the initial MVHR design was done during the planning stages, allowing our client to make provision for the ducting way before the physical build began. Without this le

Recently completed project in Farnham boasts stunning oak beams complimented by stainless steel fittings through-out. The MVHR design for this project was relatively complicated, with only a tiny amount of loft space to house our unit and limited depth within the web joists to run ducting. The unit, housed away from main living areas in a small loft space above the first floor WC, is located next to the loft hatch for easy access to aid maintenance. Our acoustic ducting is u

Incorporating MVHR into a home to create a healthier, more comfortable living space. “In May of 2021, after three years of planning, we started our extensive home renovation in our 1960’s chalet bungalow. our vision was to create a sustainable, well insulated, whole house ventilation system and carbon zero home using an air source heat-pump with Solar PV. To elevate the poor air quality and inconsistent temperature within our home, we gained advice from Rega Vent and decided

Having an MVHR system installed in your home is a great way of ensuring that the property is well ventilated, fresh and remains free of condensation and mould. The best way to ensure continuous long service of your MVHR system is to uphold regular maintenance. The maintenance procedure for a Rega MVHR system is a simple process. Each of the extraction vents installed in the wet rooms throughout the property should be fitted with a filter to prevent dust and debris entering th
