When do you need a Heat recovery?
Consider heat recovery when you are looking to significantly improve your property's energy efficiency, reduce heating costs, or are undertaking a major renovation. It's particularly beneficial in well-insulated homes or new builds.
What happens on the day
A qualified engineer will visit your property to assess your existing heating and ventilation systems. They will discuss your energy usage, survey potential installation areas, and provide tailored recommendations for heat recovery solutions.
How to prepare
- Clear access to your boiler or heating system area.
- Clear access to bathroom or kitchen pipework if considering waste water recovery.
- Gather recent energy bills for consumption analysis.
- Note any existing ventilation systems.
- Be ready to discuss your heating habits and goals.
How to improve your result
- Combine heat recovery with good insulation for maximum savings.
- Regularly clean filters in your heat recovery ventilation system.
- Ensure your property is as airtight as possible to prevent heat loss.
- Consider smart controls to optimise system operation.
Why it is useful day to day
Heat recovery can noticeably lower your monthly energy bills by reducing the energy needed to heat your home or water. It also contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment with better air quality.
Why we ask these questions
We ask about your property's type and size to understand the scale of potential heat recovery systems. Knowing your current heating system helps us determine compatibility, while details about recent renovations indicate opportunities for integration.
