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...

Wow... that’s impressive. But you’re only inside to do the laundry. Luckily, there is something like a utility room. Better than nothing. And do you sometimes hear the ventilation system? I see it’s from the company Wolf. Or am I mistaken?
Best regards

Yes, I wanted those at first... but then I ended up buying one size larger...

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