Brands.
Who actually makes the kit, and what a thoughtful British buyer should know before choosing.
- Vent-Axia
British ventilation specialist with a deep parts network and the country's most-installed mid-range MVHR. The unit independent installers reach for first when the project is a standard 3-bed retrofit rather than a Passivhaus build.
- Zehnder
The brand Passivhaus designers default to. Class-leading efficiency, very low fan power, and a commissioning workflow that respects how the building actually performs. The right answer when the fabric of the home is already doing its part.
- Nuaire
The original Positive Input Ventilation manufacturer in the UK. The Drimaster range is the unit most damp-and-mould specialists install when MVHR is not on the table, and the warranty record is reassuringly dull.
- Titon
British ventilation manufacturer with a long history in trickle vents and MVHR. The HRV Q Plus range is the unit specifiers reach for when the budget is tight and the project still needs proper heat-recovery ventilation.
- Brink
Dutch MVHR specialist whose Renovent range is the quiet, considered alternative to Zehnder at the high end. Strong measured efficiency, low fan power, and a tidy app that respects how the building actually performs.
- EnviroVent
British ventilation manufacturer best known for the ATMOS PIV range and a strong portfolio of low-energy extract fans. Often the brand independent damp surveyors recommend when Nuaire is already on the quote.
