Design, supply, installation and maintenance of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery systems for homes and holiday properties in and around Oban.
As the “Gateway to the Isles,” Oban has a housing mix like nowhere else on the west coast, with traditional townhouses, new-build developments, self-builds on the hillsides above the bay, and a substantial number of holiday lets and guesthouses serving the tourist and ferry trade. Clydebank Installations Ltd brings 35+ years of ventilation experience, and 20 years specialising in MVHR, to properties throughout Oban and the surrounding area.
We work directly with homeowners, architects, builders and main contractors, and we’re used to planning installations around Oban’s exposed coastal weather and the practicalities of working in a busy harbour town.
Oban’s coastal, high-rainfall climate puts real pressure on building fabric. Older townhouses in particular can suffer from condensation and damp if ventilation isn’t dealt with properly, while new-build and self-build properties aiming for high airtightness need mechanical ventilation to perform as designed. MVHR addresses both: it continuously removes stale, moisture-laden air from kitchens and bathrooms while supplying warmed, filtered fresh air to living spaces, recovering heat in the process rather than venting it straight outside.
For Oban’s holiday-let and guesthouse trade, this matters commercially too. A well-ventilated property avoids the musty smells and damp patches that generate bad reviews, keeps running costs down between bookings, and needs far less manual airing-out and dehumidifying than a poorly ventilated one.

Both. Retrofitting MVHR into older properties is common work for us, alongside new-build and self-build installations.

Clydebank Installations ltd fitted the MVHR system in my self build home In Millport , Isle of Cumbrae. The service from Allan and his team was courteous efficient and professional. The finished product was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this contractor.
I have worked with Allan and his team on numerous projects, always found him very helpful, organised with extremely good workmanship, works extremely well alongside other trades onsite and is very accommodating, helping find solutions when the inevitable problems arise.
Anderson Floor Warming recently subcontracted Clydebank Installations to install the mechanical ventilation heat recovery system within a large, high-end spec. domestic property in the west end of Glasgow. Allan’s design input was very helpful and assisted us to tailor the outline design provided by the client’s Consulting Engineer. We found Clydebank Installations’ standard of workmanship to be very good and they were very professional in their approach throughout the installation and commissioning of the system. We have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
