How EpicAir Helps Self-Builders With Their Project

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is crucial for new builds, especially airtight homes, as it ensures energy efficiency and healthy indoor air quality. By recovering up to 90% of heat from outgoing air, MVHR reduces heating costs and carbon footprints. It also filters pollutants, prevents mould, and maintains fresh air, creating a comfortable, healthy living environment while meeting modern regulatory demands.

However, a poorly installed MVHR system can waste up to 30% of its energy-saving potential, leaving you with noisy ventilation and higher bills.  At EpicAir, we ensure your MVHR is designed and installed correctly the first time, efficiently delivering fresh air to your self-build home.

If you decide that MVHR is right for your new home, a host of technical decisions are required right from the start, and this can feel daunting, especially for first-time self-builders. At EpicAir, we design MVHR systems that are simple, efficient, and stress-free.

Here are five ways we support self-builders right from day one:
