  1. Hi lovely people We have had our Zehnder Q450 running for 5.5 years now. After 3 years, it blew the main circuit board and that was replaced under guarantee. Now it has happened again, judging by the similar Faults reporting. ie All the sensors says errors and the display has died. The installer is no longer available. Our supplier, Omnie, has quoted £450 + VAT to just come and look at it!! And more if a return visit needed. Can anyone suggest an alternative repair/maintenance company near Devon please?
  2. Any experience of Marley Alutec gutters etc out there? Is it really corrosion resistant in an exposed salty coastal location?
  3. This was built by a main contractor, but he did not do the TF or the windows/external doors.
  4. Hi We have some problems with leaking doors and windows on our nearly 4 year old new build. Both window suppliers (contracted though TF company) and timber frame suppliers have gone into liquidation. Does our architect (technician) Certificate cover this sort of bad manufacturing, installation? What remedy could it offer? Thanks
  5. We completed our build 18 months ago, so this post is more of an academic exercise in light of our experience with the system, for the possible enlightenment of others. Or ridicule perhaps. We have a Zehnder Q350 with extraction connected radially to 3 shower rooms, a WC, a kitchen, a utility room and a plant room. The supply feeds go to three bedrooms, the large living room (2) and the' office' (2). So 7 ins and 7 outs. A couple of matters arise from our usage. We have auto humidity boost turned on, so for showers etc the fan ramps up with no human actions. This is great, except if someone gets up 'early' and has a shower. The still recumbent others are then subjected to the quite loud boost noise that ensues. Not a terminal sufferance but a factor to consider. Perhaps we should just turn off the auto feature when guests are here. It is a bit fiddly delving into the menus on the unit in the plant room, but not impossible. Or just leave it off and manually boost when necessary using the app on the idevices. Or never boost and let the removal of the moisture take a lot longer. The other matter is a bit more delicate and concerns ensuite facilities and their use. Activity in them is not always in quiet mode and sometimes can involve less than pleasant noises. MVHR principles dictate that doors have large gaps at the bottom to enable air flows from the supply bedrooms to the extract en suites. This also enables easy sound transmission to the adjoining bedroom and its occupant. Can the collective knowledge and brains comment on the principle of reverting to air and 'sound proof' doors and instead providing a supply feed inside the en suite, albeit at the opposite diagonal to the extract to maximise air flows. Not a major 3rd world problem but worthy of discussion perhaps.
  6. We completed our custom build 18 months ago but still lurk here to keep abreast of the latest ideas and solutions, just in case of the remote chance we ever do it again!
