Why regular MVHR servicing matters
Skipping an annual service is one of the most common reasons MVHR systems fail prematurely — and fan replacement is significantly more expensive than the service itself.
A blocked filter can reduce heat recovery efficiency by 30–50%, increasing heating costs and defeating the purpose of the system.
Fan failure is the most common — and costly — MVHR fault. Nuaire and Vent-Axia fans that run with dirty filters wear out significantly faster.
MVHR is designed to supply fresh filtered air. A neglected filter circulates dust, allergens, and contaminants rather than filtering them out.

MVHR service cost London — frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from landlords, property managers, and homeowners across South East London.
How much does MVHR servicing cost in London?
At ARC Facilities, MVHR servicing costs £172. This covers a full filter check and condition review, airflow and performance check, fan inspection, noise check, and a written system health report. Parts or specialist components are quoted separately if required.
How often should an MVHR system be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend annual servicing as a minimum. For commercial properties, high-occupancy residential buildings, or systems in dusty environments, bi-annual servicing is advisable. Regular servicing keeps filters clean, maintains heat recovery efficiency, and prevents premature fan failure — the most common and costly MVHR fault.
What does an MVHR service include?
A standard MVHR service at ARC Facilities includes: filter inspection and replacement recommendation, airflow measurements at supply and extract valves, fan motor check, noise and vibration assessment, inspection of ducts for obstructions or damage, and a written service report. All findings are documented and shared by email.
How long does an MVHR service take?
A typical MVHR service takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the system size, number of valves, and accessibility. Most residential units are completed within 45 minutes. Larger commercial or whole-building systems may take longer.
Do you service MVHR systems in South East London?
Yes. ARC Facilities is based in Plumstead, SE18, and provides MVHR servicing across South East London including Woolwich, Greenwich, Plumstead, Charlton, Eltham, Thamesmead, Lewisham, Deptford, New Cross, Bermondsey, and surrounding SE postcodes. We also cover Essex and Kent.
Which MVHR brands do you service?
Our engineers are trained on all major MVHR brands, including Vent-Axia, Nuaire, Zehnder, Titon, Airflow, EnviroVent, Vortice, Domus, Xpelair, Paul Heat Recovery, and Helios. Nuaire and Vent-Axia are the most common brands we service in South East London.
What if my MVHR system needs a repair, not just a service?
MVHR repairs are also £172 for the visit and fault-finding. If parts are required, these are quoted separately before any work proceeds. We aim to fix MVHR fan failures within one week — unusually fast for London. Our engineers carry common replacement parts for Nuaire and Vent-Axia systems.
Can you set up an MVHR maintenance contract?
Yes. We offer annual and bi-annual MVHR maintenance contracts for residential landlords, estate agents, property managers, and commercial clients across South East London. A contract ensures your system is serviced on a set schedule without you needing to remember to book, and you receive prioritised appointment slots.
How quickly can you get an MVHR engineer to me in South East London?
For planned MVHR servicing, we typically schedule within 1–2 weeks. For emergency MVHR call-outs in London (system failure, no ventilation, unusual noise), our standard response is approximately 2 hours within the M25, 24 hours a day. Call +44 20 3673 8895 for urgent jobs.
Does servicing improve MVHR efficiency?
Yes, significantly. A clogged filter can reduce heat recovery efficiency by 30–50%, increasing energy bills and undermining the purpose of having an MVHR system. Regular servicing restores airflow rates, reduces energy consumption, and extends the life of the unit — particularly the fans, which are the most expensive component to replace.
