Solarcrest specialises in the design, installation, and maintenance of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems. They work closely with architects and clients from the initial design phase to ensure systems are integrated seamlessly into properties, addressing challenges like overheating, fire safety, and structural integrity from the outset. Their approach focuses on quality components and precise installation to guarantee long-term performance and compliance with building regulations, including Part-F and Passivhaus standards.
Serving both residential and commercial sectors, Solarcrest offers solutions ranging from single-room units for classrooms to complex systems for medical establishments. They are capable of retrofitting systems into occupied commercial spaces with minimal disruption, though they prefer working on new builds or void buildings as part of larger retrofit programmes. Their commitment extends to the social housing sector, where they advocate for the use of quality MVHR systems to improve tenant health, reduce energy costs, and contribute to carbon saving goals, highlighting the lifecycle cost benefits over cheaper, less durable alternatives.
Solarcrest emphasizes the importance of correct design and installation for MVHR systems, noting that every component, bend, and connection impacts air pressure and system efficiency. They provide comprehensive data and support to ensure systems meet stringent performance criteria, including acoustic requirements. By partnering with manufacturers like Airflow, Solarcrest offers a range of commercial MVHR solutions tailored to specific needs, ensuring clients receive quiet, efficient, and fire-protected systems designed for decades of service.
