Hi from Bristol!

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 :D

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

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.

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?

does that look like a good deal?

 

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.

 

EDIT: See @PeterW post before before considering buying one of these

Hello and welcome. I'm in Bristol as well. Which end you are buying? Or you only looking atm?

I'm in the process of buying in Brislington, hopefully only a month or two away from completion. Which area are you in?

 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.

Well spotted.  I have ammended my posts above to exercise caution.  Without the controller it may not be operable. It is indeed quite different to the Kingspan version that I have.
