Any idea if this unit is big enough?

Hi,

 

Theres a Vortice HR200BP unit on ebay for not much money.

 

Spec sheet looks pretty decent: https://www.vortice.ltd.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Vort-HR200-BP_TECH-DATA-SHEET-1-1-1.pdf

 

The only thing I can't work out is whether its big enough for my bungalow. I had a plan done by Nuaire a while back, and they came out with 21L/s intake and extract, but since then i've added the future extension, which adds around 10m2 floor area, which I think equates to another 3L/s in and out.

 

It will be Kitchen + 1 Wet Room (bathroom) (though the bathroom will have two outlets in different places due to extension, so not sure if that will class it as 2 wet rooms).

 

Does anyone know whether this unit would be worth a go, or if its just a bit too small?

 

Regards

Mike

What is your floor area, wet rooms and ceiling height...?

[MikeGrahamT21]

Supply Rooms Equate to 55.77m2

Extract Rooms Equate to 17.12m2

 

These measurements include the proposed extension.

 

Ceiling Height is 2.33m in majority of house, two rooms have vaulted ceilings (1 is an extract room (9.19m2) and 1 is a supply room (7.25m2)

Its absolutely fine as a unit for that size - can easily do 1ACH and you'll be able to sort the balance etc no problem

Brilliant, thanks for the info, I really should buy that and get started on MVHR. Priced up all the manifolds, pipework etc as well today, should be no more than £700 all in, plus the cost of this unit, which seems reasonable to me.

My house is 90sqm and I paid 1350 pounds for the everything including the unit which was 550 pounds, a Nuaire MRXBOXAB-ECO2.
