AirCare+ MVHR & MEV servicing with anti-bacterial duct cleaning

12 January 2026 | HRV

At HRV Group, we’re committed to helping homeowners achieve the best possible indoor air quality. That’s why we’re proud to introduce AirCare+, our new deep duct cleaning, sanitisation and service solution for MVHR and MEV ventilation systems.

Why is air duct cleaning needed?

A MVHR or MEV ventilation system runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, quietly moving air in and out of a home. Duct cleaning is recommended every 5 years after the 43,800 hours of air movement that it would have seen - after this time there will be a considerable build up inside the ducting that impacts system performance and indootr air quality

What collects the inside ductwork?

  • Dust and debris
  • Pet dander
  • Moisture and mould spores
  • Bacteria
  • Pollen
  • Other airborne contaminants

Below are images we have taken from our MVHR & MEV servicing visits - you can see the build up collecting directly underneath the air valve cover!

What’s included in AirCare+ Duct Cleaning?

AirCare+ is a comprehensive service for the entire system - completed in 3 stages including duct cleaning, sanitisation and full system/unit servicing:

CLEAN

Mechanical brushing and extraction. We use a specialist rotating brush combined with high-powered extraction to remove hidden dust and debris lining the ductwork.

SANITISE

NHS-grade anti-bacterial duct misting. Once debris is removed, a safe anti-bacterial mist is applied throughout the ducting routes to neutralise bacteria, mould spores and allergens.

SERVICE

Full MVHR or MEV unit service. We replace filters, clean all internal and external components, and fully test the system to ensure it's working effectively inside the home.

What are the key benefits of Duct Cleaning AirCare+?

1. Optimal system efficiency and performance
A clean system can move air more effectively, helping your MVHR or MEV unit operate as designed.

2. Sanitised, hygienic ductwork
Removing contaminants and applying an anti-bacterial treatment helps reduce the spread of bacteria and allergens throughout the home.

3. Improved indoor air quality
Cleaner ducts mean cleaner air, supporting a healthier living environment for you and your family.

Before & After Swab Testing 

To demonstrate the effectiveness of AirCare+, we offer before and after surface swab testing.
Swabs are taken prior to cleaning and again after sanitisation, with results provided so you can clearly see the measurable improvement in cleanliness and hygiene.
