Ordering in bulk is the way forward. Thanks all for your help. @Declan52 out of interest do you use G3 or G4? Im going to try filtermate I think because they offer free delivery. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Really helpful @JSHarris and @Declan52 I wrote on another blog on this site yday and just seen that someone has really helpfully suggested buying the replacement vent axia air filters from filterworld or https://filtermate.co.uk/ Theh both look like the stock our ones for a much more reasonable price! @Declan52 good to hear you have a similar machine. have you used filtermate or filterworld? Would you recommend them? The reviews look good but it would be good to know where you get yours from. Everyone makes seevicing the units sound simple. I will be trying this myself moving forward! Thanks

@P1234 my manual says to service the mvhr system every 12 months but I think this seems unreasonable albeit living in London may mean this is needed more often. I feel that if you if you can change and replace your mvhr filters (or hrv - not sure what the difference is between the two definitions) more regularly you could probably get away without servicing it for years !

Hi All thanks for coming back to me. My machine is A Vent Axia Lo Carbon Sentinel Kinetic V MVHR system. I think the system is about 4 years old. Those images show exactly what I’m faced with. Hoovering them is almost impossible! I’m living in a more built up area and I’m really keen to get into the habit of changing them regularly once I can buy a bulk of them. Some of you are suggesting getting them manufactured. Do you not need them to be “official” filters relating to your brand. Eg. Vent axia for me? Also, I’ve seen on some blogs there are different types. Eg. G3 and G4 and some sort of pollen filter. Do you think it makes that much difference?! I have put a few calls today in to developers of new housing estates to see if they have suggestions on where I could source some.

Both filtermate.co.uk and filterworld.eu look good and stock my ones! Does anyone know the difference in quality bar the price? Does it matter that these aren’t coming direct from the manufacturer eg. Vent axia? Also filtermate looks like it has an option for G3 or G4 filters. Is it worth spending the extra money? Thanks again for the input.

Those recommendations sound good

Thanks @ragg987 @JanetE And @JSHarris for your quick inputs. My unit is Vent Axia Lo Carbon Sentinel Kinetic V MVHR system. The unit itself must be about 4 years old.

Hi all @lizzie @NSS @JSHarris- sorry to jump into this feed but I hope you guys might be able to help me out. My mvhr unit is getting really noisy and some colleagues suggested that I should try and change the filters for it. I’ve looked online and they’re all about £50 or more and really difficult to get hold of. Any idea of where I can get them but for a reasonable price, either online or in store? Also, I have children and obviously want to make sure they’re in a clean environment at home. If I don’t change the filters regularly, is the air in my home getting worse? Bad enough to have an impact on their health? Thanks for listening

Hi - i just found this blog online. Did anyone ever find a cheaper alternative? Desperate to buy some new filters but they’re so expensive! My unit is a Vent Axia Lo Carbon Sentinel Kinetic V MVHR system. The unit is getting really noisy and hoovering the filters Has made no difference whatsoever. Thanks

Hi All - i think the filters on my mvhr unit need changing. I’ve just read the manual and it says they should be replaced every 12 months but I’ve only been in my new home 5 months and the machine sounds like it’s having to work quite hard. It’s gotten much noisier. My sustem is Vent Axia Lo Carbon Sentinel Kinetic V MVHR system. I tried to hoover the current filters this evening but it’s a really tough task with little success. Does anyone one know where I can buy replacement filters from for cheap?! I’ve looked online and they all seem really pricey. If you have to change them regularly then it’s really going to add up! Any advice would be really helpful. Also, I’ve seen online that there’s different grades of filter quality. Can you really tell the difference? Thanks
