Hello everyone,

My husband and I are currently building a house. After much consideration, we have decided to install a decentralized ventilation system (we definitely did not want a centralized ventilation system). Since the electricians are on site right now, it would make sense to have the wiring installed at the same time. However, we don’t want to rush into this and prefer to take a closer look into the topic first.

There are still so many unanswered questions... So I thought I’d register on this website and try my luck in this forum. I hope you can help me.

We were recommended companies like Senertec, Maico, Viessmann, and Dimplex. Has anyone had experience with decentralized ventilation systems from these manufacturers (quality, maintenance, can you notice the air exchange?, are these ventilations noisy, etc.)?

I was told we should choose honeycomb fans. Why? What are the advantages compared to other types of fans?

Today, I already called the heating contractor to ask if he could provide a quote and what price we should expect. He said about 10,000 euros for 4 fans! Isn’t that a bit expensive?

I hope you can help me out a bit.

Best regards
Yours, Nikolaus

... not make sense! Making a prompt decision is the key here ... after all, the electricians need to install the electrical connections, right?

Kind regards

Hello,

I would also appreciate a list of manufacturers of these residential ventilation units. My research so far has shown prices ranging from 500 to 1500 euros per individual unit.

Thanks for the information.

I would strongly advise thinking carefully again beforehand!

Is there a specific reason why you are so AGAINST decentralized ventilation systems? Since we will also be having one installed soon, I am curious about this.

Best regards,

Hello Patrick,

On one hand, a central ventilation system is too expensive for us, and on the other, I am very skeptical about the claim that no mold, bacteria, etc., can develop inside the ducts... It may sound old-fashioned or uninformed to some, but I remain doubtful... Additionally, according to the energy demand calculation, a central ventilation system is not necessary for our house.

Best regards
