ᐅ Is it possible to convert a Smeets fresh air heating system during renovation?

Created on: 29 Nov 2018 12:59

Hello everyone,

We are interested in a house built in 2004, constructed using timber frame construction and equipped with a fresh air heating system from the company smeets.

Unfortunately, there are no documents or information available about the heating system, as the owner is seriously ill. We have a few questions and hope someone here can help us.

The principle of the fresh air heating system is that warmed and used air is extracted from the kitchen and bathroom and fresh air is supplied to the heat pump. However, we do not like the layout on the ground floor because there is a guest toilet and a bathroom of about 20m² (215 sq ft). We would like to remove the bathroom, as having one bathroom on the upper floor is sufficient for us.

Will the heating system still work if the pipes are rerouted accordingly?

The heating system was probably designed specifically for this floor plan, right?

How durable is such a fresh air heating system?

I would be very grateful for any information.

Best regards

I’m not sure if Bien-Zenker uses Smeets, but I know that air-to-air heat pumps are promoted, among other things.

Schwörerhaus also prefers to do this as a standard.

My parents have one like this (purchased), and during cold winters the fortunately available wood stove runs daily because otherwise the house does not get warm enough.

Renovation is quite challenging. You are almost somewhat bound to using an air-to-air heat pump since other heating methods would require installing underfloor heating and all the necessary heating pipes.
