About ProAir – Irish Manufacturer of MVHR Systems

OUR HISTORY

ProAir is an Irish‑owned company founded in 1995 by Galway native David McHugh in a small office and workshop in Cummer, Co. Galway. The business began with a focus on ventilation service. In the early nineties, customers were asking for better ventilation solutions – heat recovery ventilation was the obvious answer. That demand led to the development of the ProAir range we know today.

Key Milestones

2004 – The first ProAir units were manufactured from moulded plastic and installed in customers’ homes. This unit became known as the PA600.
2005 – The PA300 was developed for smaller installations.
2011 / 2012 – Units were upgraded using expanded polyethylene, a highly insulating, sound‑resistant, strong, and workable material.
2016 – The PA600 PLI achieved Passivhaus certification after extensive testing.
2018 – Production of the 5,000th MVHR unit took place at our new Castlegar facility, alongside the launch of the newly remodelled PA600LI.

MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO, DAVID MCHUGH

End‑to‑End Service – We Service What We Sell

Because of our background in the service industry, we have a deep understanding of our customers’ needs – whether they are homeowners, builders, or developers.

What This Means for You

For homeowners – Your MVHR system will work away silently in the background, keeping you healthy and comfortable in your ultra‑low‑energy home.

For builders and developers – Your clients will understand and appreciate the valuable system you have provided. With the ProAir after‑sales process in place, you never need to expect a complaint related to the indoor environment.

The ProAir Difference

Every system is:

Specifically designed for the application
Professionally installed
Diligently maintained

It is this end‑to‑end service that makes ProAir unique among manufacturers.

Looking Ahead

Our intention is to maintain this level of customer focus as we grow, expanding the large circle of friends (customers) we already have throughout Ireland, the UK, and Europe.

“Installed a full MHRV system in our house we were renovating. Found them very competitively priced and very easy to deal with on technical issues. Highly recommend”

“ProAir installed a system in our house in 2008 and never had a day’s problem with it! The air is always fresh and the knock-on effect is, a healthier environment to live in”

“I contacted ProAir for advice and pricing for my self build. The customer service was brilliant and every staff member I encountered was very helpfully explaining the system and answering my queries. The staff who called to site were efficient and professional and called as per the agreed times. I have already recommended ProAir to a friend and would have no hesitation in recommending their services in the future”

“Extremely happy with our ProAir and their service in general, from my initial phone call to their site visit, installation process and after care service. I found them very easy and helpful to deal with, as well as good value. Constant fresh air and a handy display console to tell me if the system is working correctly or needs a filter change etc. Would highly recommend"

"We have HRV in our block-built house. Installed by ProAir of Galway. Very professional and thorough job, highly recommended. Cost was c. 8k, but we have two units due to the size of the house. Been in constant operation since October, no issues so far. Complexity? Turn it on and leave it. When you have a shower/bath press boost. That’s it."

"We also got ours from ProAir and are very happy with it. We were strapped for extra cash, but our geo-therm. guys recommended the MHRV as a way of making the whole system more efficient. No condensation is a great thing. Your house will be healthier overall."

"Very happy with my ProAir Ventilation System. They system settings had to be changed to due the hot weather so they talked me through step by step on how to correct. They were extremely helpful. Superb customer service."

"We were fighting with a lot of dampness and mould using electric dehumidifiers with little success. The heat recovery ventilation system removed all of the problems. No more dampness, no more mould and our windows are dry in the morning. The installation was done quickly and professionally. Huge thanks to ProAir!"

“Very professional from start to finish, easy to work with and always available and willing to answer a technical question. The unit is very quiet, even on boost mode it’s hardly audible. From my research I found it to be the most efficient on the market also, and it’s manufactured here in Ireland. For the self-builder, I found ProAir very good to work with, they were flexible with the scope of works and the price reflected this. They furnished me with detailed drawings and all the ducting needed, they installed the unit and commissioned at the end, this suited my requirements perfectly”
