Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the chosen system and how much new ductwork is needed. Premium HRV/ERV systems typically need more commissioning and higher-quality ducting and sealing, while retrofit unit swaps often reuse existing ducts and usually reduce material and labour. Site access, hidden duct remediation, hazardous materials and any required electrical work can also increase the overall scope.
Extent of new ductwork
A full new duct distribution increases materials and installation time, whereas reusing compatible existing ducts typically reduces scope.
Commissioning, sealing and balancing
Higher-performance systems usually include allowances for duct sealing and air balancing, which add specialist labour and testing.
Site access and installation complexity
Accessible ceiling cavities and easy roof/attic access generally make installation simpler than jobs needing scaffolding or awkward routing.
Hazardous materials and structural work
Discovering asbestos, water damage or the need for major structural modifications can push the job into a larger remediation scope.
