Do You Need Part F MVHR Commissioning?
What is MVHR Commissioning?
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems provide continuous fresh air to a building while recovering heat from extracted air to improve energy efficiency.
To ensure an MVHR system performs as designed, it must be properly commissioned and balanced following installation. Building Regulations require ventilation systems to be tested and adjusted to verify that they achieve the intended airflow rates and provide effective whole-house ventilation.
Proper commissioning helps maximise system efficiency, improve indoor air quality, reduce noise issues and ensure compliance with Approved Document F requirements.

What Our Clients Say
I want to thank you for sending Mark to re-commission the MVHR system here today. He arrived promptly around 7am as we had agreed, and was by far the most knowledgeable commissioning engineer whom I have met (and I have met a few by now!). He took all the readings and answered questions from the builder and system installer, who found him so authoritative ……. he was also strikingly amiable and pleasant.
