ᐅ Decentralized ventilation – various manufacturers

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

I’ll throw Seventilation (which we have ourselves) and Halmburger into the ring.
Household electricity (including ventilation) has been around €32 per month since February.
Air quality is good. Acoustics are okay... though I would prefer it quieter. I would recommend hearing it live here.

We have 8 Marley ventilators. The cost, including installation, is around 5,000 € (about 5,400 USD). The noise level is not insignificant; I have to turn off the ventilator in the bedroom at night.

Hello "Passivhaus",
it is well known that the Marley performs worse in terms of noise levels. Ventilation is especially important in the bedroom, as this is where the air quality tends to be the worst. Maybe you could look for a good alternative. (single-room ventilation unit)

Do you have any recommendations for good alternatives?

Hello Jochi79,
for retrofitting, especially in the bedroom, the ROOS Air Mini 60 is a very good option. It is a very quiet device and easy to install, as the control is integrated into the unit. It delivers excellent airflow while operating very quietly. You only need a power outlet and two holes with a diameter of 110mm (4.3 inches).
In the decentralized ventilation area, we have had the best experience with the Sevi 160 plus.

The ventilation planner responsible recommended the Dimplex DL 50 WE to me. Does anyone possibly have experience with this?

My favorite would actually be the Meltem since it is available in a KNX-compatible version. What are your opinions on this?
