MVHR filters: everything you need to know

 

Discover the world of heat recovery with Tops Filter' high-quality MVHR (heat recovery) filters. MVHR filters play a crucial role in heat recovery ventilation systems, where they ensure efficient filtration of incoming and outgoing air. These filters are designed not only to remove dust particles and pollutants, but also to optimise heat transfer and promote energy efficiency. At Tops Filter, we offer a comprehensive collection of MVHR filters that meet the highest standards of air quality and system performance. Our filters are made of high-quality materials that ensure durability and effective filtration. Regular use of MVHR filters keeps the heat recovery system clean and functioning at its best, resulting in a healthier indoor climate and lower energy costs.

What is an MVHR filter?

 

A MVHR filter, or a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Filter, is an essential part of a heat recovery ventilation system. The filter ensures that dust, pollen and other pollutants are filtered out of the air, so you enjoy clean and healthy air in your home or office.

Where do you place an MVHR filter?

MVHR filters are placed in the ventilation system of your home or building. They are located in the supply and return air flows. It is important to choose the right filter class compatible with your specific MVHR unit.

Who uses MVHR filters?

MVHR filters are used by people who have an MVHR ventilation system. They are essential for people with allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems, or people who attach great importance to a healthy and comfortable indoor climate because they significantly improve air quality.

Why should you replace MVHR filters?

Over time, MVHR filters become clogged with dust and dirt, making them less effective. This can lead to poorer air quality, higher energy costs and a shorter lifespan of your ventilation system. Timely replacement prevents these problems.

How do you replace MVHR filters?

Replacing MVHR filters is easy. Open the housing of your MVHR unit, remove the old filters and place the new filters in the same place. Make sure you use the correct filter class and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

When are MVHR filters due for replacement?

MVHR filters should usually be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and the air quality in your environment. Check regularly if the filters are visibly dirty and full of dust.

Are MVHR filters environmentally friendly?

MVHR filters contribute to a more sustainable indoor climate by increasing the efficiency of your ventilation system and reducing energy consumption. Some filters are also made of recyclable materials, which increases their environmental friendliness. Replacing filters regularly prevents the system from having to work harder, which saves energy and reduces CO₂ emissions.

What are the benefits of MVHR filters?

MVHR filters improve air quality, reduce allergens and improve the energy efficiency of your ventilation system. They also contribute to a longer life of your MVHR unit by protecting it from dust and dirt.

What types of MVHR filters are there?

There are different types of MVHR filters, including G4 filters (protection against coarse dust), M5 filters (protection against finer dust), F7 filters (protection against fine dust and pollen) and activated carbon filters (odour and gas absorption). Choose the type of filter that suits your needs and system.

What are the costs of MVHR filters?

The cost of MVHR filters varies depending on the type and brand. Generally, prices are between €10 and €50 per set. Original filters can often be slightly more expensive, while Tops brand filters offer identical quality.

Where to buy MVHR filters?

You can buy MVHR filters from Tops Filter who offer a wide range of filters for MVHR systems. Make sure you buy filters specifically designed for your unit.

What is the difference between original and Tops MVHR filters?

Original MVHR filters are produced by the manufacturer of your MVHR unit and offer guaranteed compatibility and performance. Tops Filter are more economical and offer the same high quality as original MVHR filters, a win-win situation.

What brands of MVHR filters are there?

Popular brands of MVHR filters include Wernig MVHR filters, Zehnder MVHR filters, Pluggit MVHR filters, Helios MVHR filters, Vaillant MVHR filters and Paul MVHR filters. Each brand offers filters specific to their own systems, so check carefully which brand is suitable for your MVHR unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is an MVHR filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    A MVHR filter is a filter used in an MVHR unit (heat recovery system). The function of an MVHR filter is to purify the incoming and outgoing air of harmful substances, transforming the air into clean and purified air. The filter contributes significantly to improving the air quality in the home. To maintain this improved air quality, it is important to replace MVHR filters on time.
  • Which MVHR filter should I choose?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    Choosing the right filter for an MVHR unit is a simple task. Make sure you choose a filter that is compatible with the specific type of your MVHR unit. After selecting the suitable filter for your MVHR unit, you can choose from different filter classes. Each filter class represents a specific degree of protection against certain (fine) substances. Moreover, you have the option to choose between a house brand Tops filter or an original filter.
  • What is the importance of an MVHR filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    A MVHR filter is essential for a MVHR unit. MVHR filters play a crucial role in effectively improving air quality by filtering pollutants from the ventilation system. These filters provide protection against accumulating dust, thus extending the life of the MVHR system. In addition, MVHR filters contribute to optimised airflow, allowing the ventilation system to operate in the most efficient manner. This results in direct savings on unnecessarily high energy costs.
  • What is the difference between a house brand and an original filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    By using high-quality materials and filters that comply with the ISO 16890 standard, formerly known as the EN779 standard, the house brand of Tops filters delivers the same high quality as the original filters. Despite this high quality, it is combined with an affordable and economical price. So you buy extra high-quality MVHR filters at a low price from Tops filters.
  • What is a pollen filter for?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    A pollen filter or F7 filter, named after the F7 filter class, is designed to effectively filter pollen (pollen) from the supplied air, preventing these allergens from entering the home. This is especially beneficial for people with allergies, as it reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes and breathing problems. Moreover, it offers a high level of protection against other particles, such as dust, mould spores and bacteria, keeping the indoor air quality in the home extra healthy.
  • Where do I fit a pollen filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    If you have only one pollen filter, the pollen filter is placed on the supply air side of the MVHR unit. This side can be recognised by the outside symbol (cloud, tree or sky) present on the unit. The reason for placement on this side is that this is where the supply air, including any pollen, enters the house. However, if you have 2 or more pollen filters, they can be placed on both the supply and exhaust side.
  • Do I need to clean my MVHR filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    It is strongly discouraged to clean MVHR filters with a hoover or by washing them with water. This can damage the structure of the filters, rendering them ineffective. If the MVHR filters do not work correctly, the MVHR system will also not function optimally, which can negatively affect the air quality in the house. It is recommended to replace dirty or worn filters to ensure an efficiently functioning ventilation system.
  • How long does an MVHR filter last?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    On average, an MVHR filter has a lifespan of 6 months, however, this strongly depends on the use of the ventilation system. With more intensive use, the filter will become saturated and worn out faster. If the filters have a dark-grey colour, contain a lot of dust or no longer feel solid, the time has come to replace them.
  • How often should I change MVHR filters?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    For optimal operation of the ventilation system, it is necessary to replace the MVHR filters at least twice a year. With intensive use of the system or in a newly built house, it is recommended to change the filters more often. Therefore, regular inspection of the filters in the MVHR unit is essential, especially for the accumulation of dust or a dark-grey discolouration of the filters. As soon as this occurs, it is time to change the filters for new ones.
  • How do I replace an MVHR filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    Replacing an MVHR filter is a simple task that is done within moments. Before you actually proceed to replace the filters, it is essential to remove power from the appliance or system by unplugging it. Next, look for the covers behind which the dirty and old filters are attached and remove them. Now insert the clean and new filters into the unit, plug the power back in, and the MVHR unit will automatically run through the start-up programme.
  • What happens if I don't replace an MVHR filter?
    chevron-down
    chevron-up
    If the MVHR unit's filters are not replaced on time, they become worn and lose their effectiveness. As a result, the air is insufficiently filtered, allowing harmful substances to enter the interior of the house. In addition, the MVHR system has to work unnecessarily hard, resulting in higher energy consumption than necessary and faster wear and tear on the system.
