Ventilation & MVHR FAQs for Donegal
An MVHR system costs €4,000 to €9,000 installed, depending on whether it's a new build or retrofit and the size of the property.
In well-insulated, airtight homes, MVHR is essential for air quality and energy efficiency, recovering up to 90% of heat that would otherwise be lost through ventilation.
Ventilation upgrades can form part of a wider SEAI-supported retrofit project, where grants may cover a portion of the cost.
MVHR filters should be changed every 6-12 months, and the system should be professionally serviced annually.
Modern MVHR systems are designed to be virtually silent, operating at 25-30 decibels, similar to a whisper.
