Hello,
is it sensible to install a ventilation system with heat recovery in a house?
Who has experience with such systems? Centralized or decentralized? Which manufacturer do you use? How much does such a system cost?
I am certainly aware that, in this topic, only a detailed calculation with the relevant data can provide clear answers. Nevertheless, I am interested in the experiences you have had with your system.
Thank you very much

Hello,
we are currently planning the construction of a house ourselves, and controlled ventilation is a must for us. I know a few people who already have it and have only heard positive things.
Whether central or decentralized no longer matters much to us, as we believe both options have their advantages.
Costs are hard to estimate because they depend heavily on the rest of the heating system and whether combined units can be used (we ourselves plan to use a combined unit with a heat pump).
For a stand-alone unit, I have read something about roughly 10,000 € (about $11,000), which you should probably budget for.
I hope this information is somewhat helpful, but unfortunately, we haven’t progressed much further in the building process yet.
Best regards
Matthias

Hello,
we are currently building a house and have been asking around.
Everyone who has a mechanical ventilation system is very enthusiastic! So this is the only option we are considering.
A major advantage is that with an additional wood-burning stove in the living area, we can distribute the heat throughout the whole house.
One of my acquaintances heated the entire apartment only with the wood-burning stove this winter, running the ventilation system without heating.

Häuslebau201131 Jan 2011 15:03We are also planning to install a ventilation system in the house. The price for ours should be around €3,000. I believe it is from Vallox.
However, the wood stove could cause some issues. It must be room air-independent, or it needs a negative pressure safety system that shuts off the ventilation system. This “connection” costs about €700. And if, like us, you want a water-heated wood stove, the price starts at €3,000.

Holzwurm301 Feb 2011 11:48Hello everyone,
I can only say that the ventilation system (PLUGGIT) is something wonderful. We moved into our new house last autumn. We also had to install a ventilation system.
We have a wood-burning stove with a negative pressure monitor from LEDA. We preferred the version with the negative pressure monitor over the room air-independent stove because this way we can connect any stove we want. Hopefully, our stove will last a long time (LEDA UNICA 5.0 kW).
In short, I would definitely have it installed again. The only downside, if I may say so, is that the humidity level is very low, so you need to take measures to address that. Once you do, comfort is perfect.

We are currently building as well and have spent a lot of time researching controlled ventilation systems. We are having a WOLF CWL-300 B (central system with heat recovery) installed. We had the chance to see the Wolf ventilation system in operation and were very impressed. It is completely silent—even at the highest setting. The vents are always installed in the ceiling, so there is no loss of space.
I would always prefer a central system, especially when it comes to energy-efficient construction. With a decentralized system, you have a hole in the wall in every room! With a central system, there are only two openings for supply and exhaust air in the utility room. In my opinion, heat recovery should be mandatory.
We are paying around 6000 to 7000 euros for this.
Definitely keep an eye on the size of the utility room when planning: the ventilation system includes the unit itself, ductwork, silencers, and air distributors. Along with the heating system and other appliances you may want to place there, space can become very tight quickly.
