Single Room Heat Recovery

A single room heat recovery unit (SRHRU) is a compact ventilation system designed to improve air quality and reduce heat loss in a single room—like a bedroom, bathroom, office, or kitchen. It works by extracting stale air from the room while simultaneously bringing in fresh air from outside. A heat exchanger inside the unit transfers heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air, so you get fresh air without losing warmth. The alterative to single room heat recovery units is heat recovery that is centralised where ducting connect various rooms in a building to a single heat recovery unit. Because of this single room heat recovery units are also sometimes referred to descentralised MHRV where the MHRV stands for Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery.   

Single Room Heat Recovery - Key Benefits:

• Improves air quality: Constantly brings in filtered, fresh air.

• Reduces condensation and mold: Great for bathrooms or kitchens.

• Easy to install: Usually fits through a wall like a through-the-wall fan.

Single Room Heat Recovery - Common Features:

• Heat recovery efficiency: 70–90%

• Built-in filters (dust, pollen)
