A Breath of Fresh Air for Existing Homes


Do you ever feel like your home isn’t breathing? Stuffy air, lingering odours, or even moisture build-up can create an unhealthy and uncomfortable living environment. While opening windows helps temporarily, it’s not always ideal – especially in winter months.


MVHR technology works silently behind the scenes to continuously remove stale and polluted air, replacing it with fresh air.  This not only improves air quality but also combats moisture build-up, a common culprit behind mold growth.


Beyond these health benefits, MVHR systems boast impressive energy efficiency by recovering heat from outgoing exhaust air to pre-heat incoming fresh air, making them increasingly popular option among homeowners.

Why MVHR for Your Home?

Improved Air Quality

MVHR continuously removes stale air laden with pollutants, allergens, and even moisture, replacing it with fresh, pre-filtered air. This translates to a healthier living environment for you and your family, especially those suffering from allergies or asthma.

Reduced Moisture and Mold Risk

Older homes often struggle with moisture control. MVHR effectively combats condensation by regulating humidity levels, preventing the growth of mold and mildew. This not only protects your home’s structure but also contributes to a healthier living environment.

Year-Round Comfort

No more battling drafts or relying solely on heating during colder months. MVHR pre-heats incoming fresh air using heat recovered from outgoing exhaust, reducing the strain on your heating system and creating a more comfortable living environment throughout the year.

Energy Efficiency

MVHR systems are designed to be energy-efficient. By recovering heat from exhaust air, they significantly reduce the energy needed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. 


This means lower energy bills & can improve your BER Rating!

Can you Install Heat Recovery Systems in an Old House?


In short, Yes! 


You might think MVHR systems are only for new builds, but that’s not the case! While typically easier to integrate during the construction phase, MVHR systems can be effectively retrofitted into existing homes. Our team of experts at Flynn Heat Recovery possesses the knowledge and experience to design a discreet and efficient MVHR system for your specific needs.


The retrofitting process typically involves:

  • A thorough assessment of your home’s layout & needs.
  • Strategic placement of the MVHR unit, often in a loft space, utility closet, or similar location.
  • Installation of a discreet network of ducts, minimizing disruption.

"I had a great experience with Flynn Heat Recovery. I had contacted 1 - 2 other MVHR suppliers, but Maurice was the only person to take the time to explain the system & what it might mean to our project. The installation was carried out with minimum fuss & Dean & Pedro worked well with our builder to identify the best route for the piping. 

I am also happy with the post sale / installation service. I get a quick response to any question & I am glad we went with Flynn Heat Recovery. We are back in the house nearly 4 months now and are delighted with the air quality."

"Just a couple of weeks after our MVHR install ... 100% happy with the transformation to our air quality. This is a retro fit to our 23year old dormer. 

After looking at alternative systems and trying to keep the cost down, I came to the conclusion that the higher costs of our Zehnder unit would be a better investment into the future if parts are required etc ... The install lads were very accommodating in trying to get to the best location to fit the vents, crawling through tight spaces in the attic and left the house spotless ... 

I'm very happy to recommend Flynns as a great company to deal with."

"...Flynn Heat Recovery recently installed the Zehnder Q450 and the results were instant. The air quality across the whole the house is noticeably better ... This means no more moisture on windows even on the coldest of mornings, no more stuffy air across the house.

Bathrooms are completely dry within 20 min after a shower or bath (even the tiles are dry!) Even when the family dog comes back from the beach ... smells are not hanging around."
