Hello,

we want to install a central ventilation system (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) and are currently looking into different manufacturers. However, the market is quite confusing, so I am interested in hearing about your experiences with various brands.

I would find app control quite useful. It’s not a must-have, but it would be nice. Ultimately, functionality, ease of cleaning, reliability, and electricity consumption should be the main priorities.

Do you have any tips on what we should definitely pay attention to during installation?

Do you have any with humidity recovery, or do you have problems with air that is too dry?

Quick question for those with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery: Where are your supply air and exhaust air ducts located? We have them in the basement, the ground floor in the ceiling, and in the attic, due to the wooden ceiling, in the wall. Is it the same for you?

Supply air: Living room/dining room (one room, two ducts), bedroom, hallway, entrance area (all in the floor).

Exhaust air: Upstairs hallway wall, upstairs bathroom wall, guest bathroom ceiling, utility room ceiling, kitchen ceiling.

No basement.

Regards,
Thorsten

No moisture recovery.

Dry air occurs around 30% relative humidity. Sometimes a humidifier is used.

Ground floor/upper floor + attic each in the ceilings.

Without humidity recovery. Problems are very subjective. WE handle the dry air well. Others might have issues with mucous membranes or eyes. So, it doesn’t help you if 95 out of 100 answers say “everything’s fine”; maybe you happen to be among the 5 who have problems.

Whether it helps me is another matter. However, that doesn’t mean the opinions on this are not interesting. Air that is too dry is also not good for the wood inside the house.
