[Not sure if this is the right subforum but it seems the closest]
I am considering installing MVHR in my semi.
Hopefully relevant information:
- Built in mid-1960s, 130m^2
- Brick cavity walls, not insulated
- Gas central heating
- Unit to be installed in loft
- Not really sure how air-tight it is. Modern double glazing, sealed loft hatch, no bare floorboards
Outline of a plan:
- Unit to be installed in loft
- Upstairs rooms will be easy to "plumb in"
- Downstairs...can get to the kitchen via the back of some ghastly fitted wardrobes, wet room will require some boxing in of pipes from the room above.
Does anybody have any tips, advice, experience or useful resources for this type of project?
Does it make sense to ventilate hallways? Upstairs would be easy, downstairs could be down the back of an airing cupboard.
