Hello everyone,
On Thursday, our controlled residential ventilation system (Vaillant recoVair 260 E with heat recovery) was put into operation.
We have an indoor thermometer, and since the system started, the temperature has been about 1 degree (maybe a bit more) cooler than before.
It feels noticeably fresher in all rooms (including the unheated ones).
My question is, can the heat recovery unit not warm the incoming air sufficiently? Have you experienced a similar effect?
I understand this might be due to the constant air exchange, but the consequence would be needing to heat more, which seems to contradict the energy efficiency advantage of passive houses.
Thanks for your opinions.
