Hello,
I’ve been trying for a while to determine the space requirements in the utility room for a central ventilation system. Could you name some common manufacturers? That might help me move forward.
We are currently planning the sizing of the utility room in the basement.
It will need to accommodate:
- Washing machine
- Dryer
- Gas condensing boiler
- Main unit of the central residential ventilation system
- Unclear: whether a water storage tank (connected to solar) will be installed there
Additionally, I’m interested in the space needed for a modern gas condensing boiler.
Thank you in advance.

As I mentioned earlier, everything can be much more compact as well... here are:
- Condensing boiler
- Solar station
- 300L (80 gallons) storage tank
- Washing machine
- Dryer
- Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
- ZB34S Hager electrical cabinet (approx. 1m x 1m (3.3ft x 3.3ft))
- Network corner for 24 outlets
and, of course, all utilities including meters for gas, water, electricity, and telephone.
All fitted into 4.5 m² (48.4 ft²)... I wouldn’t recommend this size, but it’s possible...

The room looks very tidy. That reminds me, I should declutter the utility room again.
