Hi, I’m Bernie 👋
I can help with room counts, MVHR vs MEV, kit options and understanding your quote before you continue.
Bernie is a guide only. Please check your inputs before creating the quote.
Add the floor area and room counts for the property.
The system checks the required ventilation rate and builds the kit.
You’ll be taken to a full quote page with the kit breakdown and pricing.
Larger homes, complex layouts or systems requiring multiple units may be better suited to a manual layout guide.
This project may need a bespoke estimate
