Installation
Mark Heat Recovery Systems offer great service from start to finish. From the sale right through to the aftercare service.
Building Regulations
As part of the 2010 revision of the Building Regulations for England and Wales or the Technical Handbook Section 3.14 in Scotland, it became necessary for domestic ventilation to be “notifiable work” as part of Approved Document Part F.
This means that all MVHR installation work must now be commissioned by a suitably qualified person trained and registered with NICEIC OR BPEC.
Recommendation
Although self-installations are perfectly feasible, it is worth bearing in mind that when fitting Systems 1-4 as specified in Part F of the Building Regulations it is recommended that these are carried out by a BPEC OR NICEIC accredited engineer which will also improve your SAP rating.
Installation
Installation is a high standard service we provide with our own engineers that involves them being on site to complete the installation of the Heat Recovery system. The installation is completed in two stages, first fix and second fix. Once the Installation is complete to a professional standard then a commissioning service follows and will answer any questions you may have regarding the products/operating them and the maintenance requirements.
When your build is approaching 1st fix stage, we carry out a detailed site visit to ensure the design is going to work & fit!
Final specification, costs and materials will be confirmed
