We caught up with one of our experienced MVHR designers at PAUL Heat Recovery, David Fraser, to find out his experience as an MVHR designer.

Here’s what David had to say:

What made you decide to become an MVHR designer?

When I first started working with PAUL Heat Recovery I worked on project quotations and also being quite tech savvy was able to support on development of the website www.paulheatrecovery.co.uk . The more I worked with the company and came to understand the importance of MVHR design, I asked if I could move to the design team to be trained up as an MVHR designer.

How did you qualify to become an MVHR designer?

My training was carried out mainly in the office shadowing the design team daily to watch and learn the ins and outs of MVHR design then more in-depth training to fully understand how to specify for projects.  Site visits were important to helping your designs improve and the installation team providing feedback on the design was always helpful.

How did you come to work with PAUL Heat Recovery?

I was on a scheme created by the Job Centre called Kickstart. The scheme brought me to PAUL Heat Recovery where I was able to start learning about the business and the solutions we were offering.  I was lucky enough to be offered a full-time position by the Directors when the scheme came to an end.

When designing an MVHR system, what is the key information you require from a client to start the design process?

There are several key pieces of information we need to receive from a client to enable us to start designing a solution.  The main things we need are floor plans, sections, fire schedules and joists. These are always beneficial.

Name some of the challenges you might, or have faced in your role as an MVHR designer?

The most challenging is keeping to strict lead times especially when its larger developments as they can’t afford any delays on site. Problem solving is another as every build is different. There are no two projects the same.

What do you feel is the most rewarding aspect of your role?

When we receive directly, or hear about a client who talks favorably about the work that was carried out by PAUL Heat Recovery or the relationships they built along the way. We are continually complemented on how well we treat our clients and how we go over and above expectations to ensuring any project is done right. It is especially rewarding when we hear that a homeowner has experienced improvements in health following the installation of an MVHR system where we have been involved in the design.
