How much you charge to install

Did you have any concerns with locating the intake and exhaust vents so close to each other? I'm installing a similar system and everyone keeps advising against it due to air feedback loops. Any thoughts?
@wilfredsouth2482 5 ай бұрын
It isn't ideal, but you only need slightly further apart to reduce any cross contamination. There's only a very low flow out and lots of mixing externally so the risk is small. In this case it's first floor on an exposed street so quite a lot of air movement. If you're worried about it you can get combined intake and exhaust terminals that are designed to avoid mixing air flow.

I just started looking at these systems and came across your first video and I would like to thank you so much for sharing this short video covering all the main points of a MVHR and how you went about actually installing it into your flat. I would like to look at getting a similar system for my 1200 sqft 2 story home that was built in the late 1990's. The question that came to my mind is what type of heating system did you have in the flat? And did it improve the efficiency of your heating system after installation i.e needed less kWh. I currently have a radiator based central heating system and was not sure if this system might be more suited for electrical heaters.

Cool. Another illegally installed ventilation system that will fail permit inspection and have to be removed before the house can be sold. This is idiotic.
@wilfredsouth2482 Жыл бұрын
The system was commissioned by a BPEC engineer, signed off for UK building regulations and the flat has since been sold.

Great video! Just wondering how your controls work - do you turn it on/ off manually? or is there some kind of occupancy sensor? I'm looking to install MVHR in a music studio where occupancy is less consistent than in a home, so I want to avoid having the fan running 24/7. Similarly with the heat recovery, are there any automated controls for bypassing that in the sunmer? Or would you do that manually?
@wilfredsouth2482 Жыл бұрын
Hello Stevie, it's a manual controller with 4 speed settings. I leave it running 24/7 at one speed, a good strategy for most homes, but you could set a time program or there's a humidity sensor option for different speeds. The summer bypass is automatic based on internal and external temperature. For your application I'd leave it running all the time at a very low speed, then turn it up manually when you use the space. Some manufacturers do an app now (of course) so that might be useful to you. Most of the time it's a bit overkill.

Thanks Will! This inspired me to DIY install an MVHR system in my house. I managed to do 75% of it myself with the remainder done with some help from my plumber. I got ducts to every room in the house with only needing 1 section of boxing out in the corner of a room. Delighted with it and I’m already enjoying the benefits of the summer bypass as the weather starts warming up! Thanks again for the inspiration :)

@wilfredsouth2482 Жыл бұрын
Find some neat areas to box in ducts, an area where you can drop the ceiling like a corridor, or use the loft (under insulation). The solution needs to match the property, the only rule is that there's always a solution!

About £40/year, but saving more than that on heating so will be net gain. Not much on my flat as I don't have great airtightness, but about 15x for newer build.

It's not just water vapour that lingers in a house. Carbon dioxide builds up really quickly too. I'm planning to install a system, but my motivation is the fact that the CO2 level in my work-from-home office rises to 3800ppm after working in there for just three hours, and that's enough to stop one thinking clearly and give one a headache. And the condensation on the windows too.
