Objectives
– Kitchen extractors, if fitted, are often not connected to the outside and install good backdraught shutter. Not all cooker hood extractors have backdraught shutter.
– Bathroom extractor
– Envirovent pressure and humidity controlled unit
SR-MVHR (Single Room – Mechanical Ventilation heat recovery)
– MVHR would extract moist air from the kitchen and bathroom and supply fresh air to bedrooms. A good option in a rental property.
