Hello!
We are planning a townhouse without a basement, with just under 130 m² (1400 sq ft). On the ground floor, we have planned a small utility room (7.10 m² / 76 sq ft). This room is intended to house the district heating heat exchanger, a chest freezer, a refrigerator, the washing machine, the dryer, and possibly a shelf. The controlled mechanical ventilation system was originally planned for the unfinished attic.
Now we are being told that this isn’t straightforward because the attic would then need to be insulated right up to the ridge (which makes sense), and a more expensive roof structure than a standard truss roof would be required. For this reason, the controlled mechanical ventilation system is now planned to be installed in the 7 m² (75 sq ft) utility room.
Does anyone know if a ceiling-mounted ventilation unit can save enough space to keep all of the above appliances in the utility room? A shelf is not essential, as we also have a pantry under the stairs. I don’t want to completely redesign the layout or move the refrigerator and/or freezer to the garage.
Good luck

Yes. A Helios controlled residential ventilation system 340 D is installed. Any experience? I like my controlled residential ventilation. Since it’s the first one and I don’t know anyone else who has one, I naturally have no comparison.
However, I feel that it does what it’s supposed to and that the indoor climate is better than it was in the apartment before. We were recently on vacation for a week and were surprised at how fresh the air in the house was when we returned.
Space-wise, I find ceiling mounting great! I would never have used that space anyway.
