Has anyone any experience of fitting a whole house heat recovery system as a DIY project?
During a complete renovation it makes slot of sense to me to fit ducting to all the rooms while I am building new stud walls upstairs. House is old solid brick detatched so I understand that while the house is not as airtight as modern houses there is still a benefit in doing it, mainly:
I will be able to remove the air bricks which let in slot of drafts and noise.
I have insulated under the ground floor, loft, ceiling and have new dg windows I may fit outside insulation one day.
It just looks such an obvious thing to do - exchange heat from damp warm air to heat fresh air.
House is approx 120sqm, 3 beds, 2 baths. I would be grateful to hear of any others experiences of this sort of system?
Obviious questions to start are which model is best and what size ducting. 205x60 looks like it should fit well in a stud wall.
