Hello,
We now have the architect’s plan. The room marked as the utility room is shaped in a way that doesn’t work well for us.
It measures 5.7 sq.m. (1.50m by 3.80m / 5 ft by 12 ft approx.).
This is a bit too narrow for a washing machine and dryer. We would like to use a different room as the utility room.
So far, no problem.
Now, the heating system is supposed to go in this room.
Dimensions (WxDxH): 70cm x 65cm x 182cm (27.5 inches x 25.5 inches x 71.5 inches) (the intake unit is outside).
And the ventilation system (supply and exhaust air).
Dimensions (WxDxH): 35cm x 60cm x 65cm (14 inches x 24 inches x 25.5 inches).
I have rounded the numbers somewhat.
Does anyone have experience with fitting these devices in a room? Considering that there will also be cables, pipes, and everything else that needs to be connected, this is not like placing a shelf directly against a wall.
How many centimeters (inches) of clearance should I allow from the wall to make everything fit?
Is the room large enough?
How much total floor space will the systems take up?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
This looks like quite a botched system! My condolences!
Best regards

...How many square meters will the systems occupy in total?

The only specific detail I know about the system so far is that it includes a 300-liter (79 gallon) domestic water tank. The system is supposed to heat 170 m² (1,830 ft²) of usable living area with a ceiling height of 2.50 m (8.2 ft). The KfW rating is approximately 60 to 65. As already mentioned, my condolences! Best regards

Two years ago, we designed a slightly smaller utility room at a customer's request, providing space for a dryer and washing machine; however, nothing more can be accommodated. Oops, then I'm curious. Mine is planned to be that small as well. According to the plan, there’s even room for a freezer combo, and all the doors can still open—at least, according to the plan...

Bauexperte3 Sep 2011 01:34Hello,
I don’t know which system you are referring to – there are combined units ranging from to – so I can’t really tell you if it would fit.
The utility room I mentioned measures approximately 2.70 x 2.47 x 2.60 m (8.9 x 8.1 x 8.5 ft), with 3 doors leading off it, so only one completely free wall is available. On this wall the house connection (HC) is installed, along with the meter cabinet and the sub-distribution for the underfloor heating of the ground floor. To the left of this wall, with it at your back, is the door to the kitchen, and on the remaining wall section are the washing machine and dryer. Opposite the wall without doors, another door leads to the attached garage, and to the right of this doorless wall are the domestic hot water storage tank and the indoor unit of the air-to-water heat pump, with enough space before a further door at the end of the wall leads into the entrance area.
Then it is high time you get detailed information about the system from the seller or general contractor; you wouldn’t be the first to have to redesign parts of the work later because it was overlooked to discuss the sizing of the energy supply.
Kind regards

Bauexperte, do you think that will fit? How much floor space do such systems with connections usually take up? I haven’t seen such an installation fully installed yet.
