HRV Group

What HRV Group does

HRV Group (legal entity: HRV Enterprises Ltd) is a UK-based, London-headquartered specialist in residential mechanical ventilation, founded in 2014 and operating with 51-100 employees across London and the South East of England. The company designs, supplies, installs, services, repairs, and replaces MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery), MEV (Mechanical Extract Ventilation), and PIV (Positive Input Ventilation) systems on behalf of homeowners, landlords, Build-to-Rent operators, letting agents, and property developers. It also offers a BPEC-accredited commissioning service for Building Regulations Part F compliance and a duct-hygiene product, AirCare+. Its core technology is the engineering and field-service capability to service across all major manufacturer brands (Vent-Axia, Zehnder, Greenwood, Nuaire, Vectaire, Envirovent, Titon, Mitsubishi, Ubbink), rather than proprietary hardware; HRV is manufacturer-agnostic and holds the user guides and parts access to operate across the installed base.

The business operates a hybrid B2C / B2B sales motion. B2C revenue is generated through a website-led funnel with an online quotation and booking tool (offering a £10 online-booking discount) and a phone sales desk, selling individual service visits priced from £99 (PIV) to £376 inc VAT (AirCare+), plus MVHR unit replacements at £1,995 ex VAT supported by PayPal Pay in 3 financing. B2B revenue is generated through a block-booking scheme for developers and landlords with 4+ properties, and direct enterprise sales on new-build developments of up to ~1,000 apartments (including the One Palace Street project near Buckingham Palace). Recurring revenue is extended via The Air Shop, a sister company selling MVHR filter subscriptions and accessories (G3/G4/M5/F7 grades) with a cross-promo discount code. Marketing is primarily content-led (educational blog on ventilation, building regulations, and indoor air quality) with Trustpilot reviews providing bottom-of-funnel social proof, and the company has accumulated 22,000+ systems under maintenance and 65,000+ completed installations to date. It holds Constructionline Gold, Constructionline Social Value, Safe Contractor, and BPEC accreditations, and has won the H&V News Award (2022) and consecutive SME Business Awards Overall Winner London (2023, 2024).

Core offering

HRV Group is a UK specialist ventilation contractor that designs, supplies, installs, services, repairs, and commissions residential mechanical ventilation systems (MVHR, MEV, and PIV) for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and property developers across London and the South East of England. The company also supplies replacement MVHR units and complementary filter products, and holds BPEC accreditation for Building Regulation Part F commissioning. Service packages are sold as standalone units with publicly disclosed pricing and a block-booking scheme for multi-property developments.

Product overview

HRV Group is a specialist ventilation service company offering a portfolio of maintenance, repair, installation, and commissioning services centred on domestic ventilation technology. The core offering comprises four interrelated service lines: MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) servicing, MEV (Mechanical Extract Ventilation) central extract servicing, PIV (Positive Input Ventilation) servicing, and AirCare+ anti-bacterial duct cleaning — each priced and sold as standalone service packages. Supporting these are unit replacement (with higher-specification options), BPEC-accredited system commissioning, and a Vent Check Tool for remote fault diagnosis. All services cover the full range of manufacturer brands (Vent-Axia, Zehnder, Greenwood, Nuaire, Vectaire, Envirovent, Titon, Mitsubishi, Ubbink). The Air Shop, a sister company, extends the portfolio to MVHR filter products (G3/G4/M5/F7 grade) and new ventilation equipment supply. Payments are processed via Square and PayPal (including PayPal Pay in 3 interest-free instalments for the unit replacement product). The company does not offer a public API or developer-facing platform.

• Greenwood Airvac: UK ventilation manufacturer (PIV and MVHR) whose products HRV Group installs and services. Comparable as a competing brand-direct supplier in the same domestic ventilation market and increasingly a rival on developer new-build contracts.
• Titon: UK-listed ventilation and window hardware manufacturer whose MVHR/MEV products HRV Group services. Comparable as a competing brand-direct player targeting the same residential new-build and replacement market.
• Ideal Heating: Major UK HVAC manufacturer and service provider covering boilers, heat pumps, and ventilation. Comparable as a broad incumbent that increasingly bundles ventilation into whole-home HVAC service contracts, competing for the same homeowner and developer relationships.

Directly comparable to HRV Group in product scope (MVHR/MEV/PIV) and customer base (homeowners, developers, landlords), and represents both a product supplier and a competing service arm.

Emerging players

• Purevent: UK domestic ventilation specialist offering MVHR installation and servicing. Comparable as a smaller, regionally focused direct competitor to HRV Group's residential service offering.
• BPC Ventilation: UK specialist ventilation installer and service provider focused on residential MVHR/MEV. Comparable to HRV Group as a multi-brand independent specialist competing on the same developer, landlord, and homeowner service work.
