About The Draught Free

The Draught Free publishes plain-English guidance on UK home ventilation, MVHR systems, extractor fans, and stopping condensation. Every article is AI-researched and human-reviewed. We cite primary sources—Building Regulations, Energy Saving Trust guidance, peer-reviewed studies, and manufacturer specifications—for every factual claim.

Editorial Disclosure

Articles on this site are researched using large language models (Claude) and reviewed by human editors before publication. AI tools allow us to synthesize technical documentation, Building Regs, and industry guidance into accessible guides faster than traditional research methods. Human review ensures accuracy, context, and clarity.

We do not accept paid placements in articles. We do not use affiliate links to specific products or installers. When we reference products, we cite their specifications from manufacturers' datasheets or independent test results. Our goal is to explain how ventilation systems work, what UK regulations require, and what typical costs are—not to sell you a particular brand.

Sources and Methodology

Articles cite UK Building Regulations Part F (ventilation), Energy Saving Trust guidance, SAP calculations for heat recovery efficiency, and product specifications from manufacturers. Where real-world cost data is cited, it comes from installer quotes published on consumer forums, trade body surveys, or manufacturer RRP lists. We update articles when regulations change or new data becomes available.

Accuracy and Corrections

We aim for accuracy but mistakes happen. If you spot an error—factual, regulatory, or technical—please email us at hello@thedraughtfree.co.uk. We'll investigate, correct if needed, and update the article's last-reviewed date. We do not provide individual installation advice or product recommendations for your specific home.
