In short the answer is YES!

How Does an MVHR System Save You Money?
A MVHR System recovers and reuses heat. As it works inside the home, during the winter, when you are heating your indoor air and space, it extracts the stale, moisture ladden air, and recovers and re-uses the heat to temper the fresher incoming air from outside. Voila... the thermostat can be dialled down a couple of degrees, saving your £££.
By reducing this heat loss, your MVHR system helps your heating system work less, which can cut your annual energy bills by around £300. (typical 2 bedroom apartment)
It's not about the energy savings though - A MVHR system is helping cotrol humidity, eliminate condensation and keep your indoor air quality in good shape.

Is an MVHR System Expensive to Run?
Not at all. Like we said it's cheaper to run that most household items - and it's running 24/7. (Do not turn it off - it's designed to be running at a low level all of the time for your comfort)
A typical MVHR unit is surprisingly affordable to run - costing around £35 annually, which is less than what it costs to power your fridge.
To get some perspective - lets see how that compares to those typical everyday items inside your home (source Go Compare, which and compare the market):
How important is MVHR system maintenance?
Let's think about something you can see - the hoover - as you use it, you can see and often feel when it needs to be emptied. As soon as there is a build up, it doesn't do it's job effectively - e.g. it doesn't suck up the dirt and the dust. Your MVHR system is exactly the same. You'll be amazed at what is in the air being extracted and supplied to your home - dust, debris and grease builds up inside, and just like the hoover, creates resistance to airflow, reducing the effectiveness inside the home... this might mean you see condensation, it doesn't clear the air effectively after a shower, or it just feels more stuffy that usual.
To keep your heat recovery ventilation system performing at its best, it’s important to maintain it regullarly including the filters and a system service.
Replace your MVHR filters regularly, typically every 6 to 12 months. The fitlers act to protect the motors as well as filtering out particles from incoming air. Clean MVHR filters allow your unit to maintain good airflow, helping to continue all the work your MVHR system is putting in to reduce your heating bills.
By keeping your filters clean and up to date, you’ll extend the lifespan of your unit and maintain healthier indoor air quality.
An annual MVHR system service will help ensure other key areas of the system including motors, the heat exchanger, air valves and ducting is also free from dustm debris and grease build up over time.
