Hello everyone,
I have been thinking about this topic for some time now, and I’m not sure how to prioritize everything since many great options are available, but they also come with corresponding costs.
The house will definitely have an electric garage door and electric roller shutters, which is not unusual in itself. Soundproofing and burglary protection are very important to us due to the location of our plot (edge location directly adjacent to a railway track).
For the windows, we will choose a higher frame depth model (82mm (3.2 inches)) for an additional cost, with RC2-N security class throughout, as well as aluminum roller shutters. We are also considering a film system designed to prevent easy shattering of the panes. In our window contract quotation, there is an additional item listed: “High-control magnetic contact for electrical monitoring.” Can anyone explain what this means? I have heard there are systems that automatically lock everything or close the shutters in case of vibrations or glass breakage.
Roller shutters can be time-controlled, but I find it inconvenient to go to each window switch or program each one individually. Is it possible to install a central switch that allows programming or raising/lowering all the roller shutters on the ground floor with a single action?
Additionally, we have decided on a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery. Here, too, I wonder what control options make sense. Would one control panel per floor be advisable?
Lastly, there is the front door, specifically the “automatic/electronic locks.” Could someone explain the added costs and benefits? Unfortunately, this option was not included in our offer.
Thanks and best regards

In our offer, everything is from Broetje, which will likely be the standard supplier with corresponding discounts for the installer, so I’m curious whether Helios can actually be offered at better terms. The Broetje costs us 9,900 EUR gross.
Experience reports would also be interesting, but the fact that I can’t find any might be because, as you said, they haven’t been on the market in that area for very long.

Take a look at the online prices for the Brötje compared to the Helios; we are talking about a factor of 3 difference. It’s similar when it comes to equity. Maybe someone can shed some light and explain the differences that justify this higher price.
But regarding the higher price, you can order the Helios online, and the installer might even set it up (although that is usually doubtful). The pipes should be compatible anyway, as they have the same diameter.

I have not yet found a Broetje model suitable for ceiling installation, although I actually expect that we will need such a model due to space constraints. We’ll see if we can choose something else. I also don’t know if the 450 isn’t somewhat oversized for 128 m² (1375 sq ft).
Do you have the ventilation plan? It includes the required air volume flows for the different types of ventilation. But it’s quite a lot—I have to ventilate nearly 200 m² (2,150 ft²), and I’m going to use a smaller Helios unit (EC 370 W). Helios also offers ceiling units, but these have the disadvantage that there are no enthalpy exchangers available for them. I’m not sure about other manufacturers.

Do you have the ventilation concept?Not really, we have a quote based on the LAB450 with 7 exhaust vents and 8 supply vents for 9,900 gross. Alternatively, with the LAK450R for 12,500 gross. This wasn’t discussed in detail yet, but it’s common practice that air is supplied to living and sleeping areas and extracted in spaces like the kitchen and bathroom.
