SamP20 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hey there! I'm Sam and I'm in the process of buying my first house which is quite exciting. I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Cardiff University, but now have a job in Bristol. I have quite a few plans for this place including networking, a wired smart home system, and a MVHR system. Obviously I won't have the budget for all of this outright, but it's stuff I'd like to do over the years. This forum looks like a great place to ask the questions I'll inevitably have Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh that's not bad. I was looking at building my own diy MVHR using a correx heat exchanger (partly because it seems like fun), but for a couple of hundred quid it seems like ebay might actually be cheaper than the raw materials themselves. It's a small-ish property needing a minimum of 30 l/s on boost mode. Also I was originally from Somerset myself, living in a little village just outside of Bridgwater. One of the things I had to get used to when moving away was everybody calling meals lunch and dinner instead of dinner and tea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small-ish property needing a minimum of 30 l/s on boost mode. Don’t bother as Correx is just too thick - you would need about 50sqm or more to get 10-20% efficiency. If you only need a small unit - and this isn’t BRegs/SAP-Q etc then try one of these units from Boulder for change from £250 new. https://www.ventilationmegastore.co.uk/product/dhv-04-100b-unit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 That’s very interesting, about what I paid for my Ebay special but. ” enthalpic heat exchanger core there is very little risk of condensation needing to be drained.” I thought enthalpic meant NO condensate?

ProDave Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Here is another Mitsubishi Lossnay clone on ebay just now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-RHF100EE-Heat-Recovery-Ventilation-Unit-Mitsubishi-lossnay/174105591682?hash=item2889807f82:g:yjMAAOSwW5BdcSX0 EDIT: See @PeterW post before before considering buying one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamP20 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Cheers for all the links. I'm probably tempting fate if I go and buy anything right now as I don't even own the house yet . I'm hoping it will be a month or two at most though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than I paid for mine, but is the cheapest one on the bay at the moment and well below what it's list price would have been.

Patrick Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'm in Ldub. Next to Blaise. So quite the other side. But I'm building a house in Wiltshire next to Frome and Trowbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs a Samsung wired remote and I think you will struggle to get one now as they are obsolete units. That’s slightly different to the standard Lossnay too looking at the wiring / circuit boards.

Without the controller it may not be operable. It is indeed quite different to the Kingspan version that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
