gWhen requesting a quote for an MVHR system, you'll want to ensure that all relevant aspects are included so that you can accurately assess the cost and scope of the project. Here's a breakdown of what should be included (not all quote includes everything!):

1. System Design and Specification:

Ensure the quote includes a detailed description of the MVHR system, including its capacity, airflow rates, heat recovery efficiency, and any specific features tailored to your needs.

2. Equipment Costs:

This should cover the cost of the MVHR unit itself, including any additional components such as filters, ducting, grilles, and controllers.

3. Installation Costs:

Labour costs for installing the system should be clearly outlined. This includes any necessary modifications to your property to accommodate the MVHR system, such as ductwork installation or electrical work.

4. Warranty:

Ensure the quote specifies the warranty period for both the equipment and the installation work. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you're covered in case of any issues.

5. Energy Efficiency Ratings:

Does the quote include information on the energy efficiency of the MVHR system, such as its SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) rating or any other relevant metrics?

6. Maintenance Requirements:

Your quote should provide details on the recommended maintenance schedule for the MVHR system, as well as any ongoing maintenance costs that may be incurred.

7. Testing and Commissioning:

The quote should include any necessary testing and commissioning of the system to ensure it's functioning correctly and meeting performance standards.

8. Compliance and Regulations:

Make sure the MVHR system complies with relevant building regulations and standards and that the quote includes any necessary certification or documentation.

What shouldn't be left off

1. Hidden Costs:

Ensure there are no hidden costs that could surprise you later. The quote should be transparent and include all relevant expenses.

2. Quality of Components:

Don't overlook the quality of components included in the quote. Opting for cheaper, lower-quality equipment may result in higher long-term costs due to reduced efficiency and reliability.

3. Installation Expertise:

Choose a provider with experience and expertise in installing MVHR systems. A poorly installed system can lead to performance issues and higher energy bills.

4. After-Sales Support:

Check if after-sales support is included in the quote. It's important to have access to technical support and assistance if you encounter any problems with the system after installation.

By ensuring that these aspects are covered in your MVHR quote, you can make a more informed decision and avoid any unexpected expenses or complications down the line.
