MVHR Installation: Important, Not Intimidating And You’re not Doing It Alone

We might not be there in person, but we’re certainly here to help you and it starts with our technical design team.

Installing an MVHR system is crucial for your homes comfort, efficiency and air quality but for many people, the idea of installing one can feel a little daunting at first glance.  At The Air Shop, our goal is simple: to make the process clear, supported, and confidence-building from start to finish. With a solid design, guidance from our technical team, and our best practice installation guide at your side, you’ll have everything you need to install your system smoothly and correctly.

Design First: Where the Confidence Begins

Before anything is delivered to your door, we take time to understand your property.

During the design phase, we:

  • Learn the layout, structure, and constraints of the home
  • Identify optimal duct routes
  • Select the right MVHR unit for the space
  • Account for noise, airflow, insulation, and accessibility
  • Ensure the system runs within ideal performance ranges

This is where your confidence starts to grow. By the time we finalise your design, you’ll know exactly how the system should sit within your property and what each step involves. When your goods arrive, you’ll be ready.
