Trw144 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I had spec'd a Ventaxia Highflow for my house (roughly 300m2) and planned on installing myself. However, with quite a bit on at present I had contacted a local installer to offer me an install price. He has done that, but also offered me an alternative that he supplies - Titon HRV 1.75 Q Plus. The question is, how does the Titon compare to the Ventaxia, and is it better two have one large unit or two smaller units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The Titon seems a lot cheaper - £1200 vs £1900 if a quick web search is to be believed..? What are filter costs..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) 1400 for fitting including balancing/commissioning. Just met the guy and to be fair he seemed to know his stuff, has been in the trade 15 yrs. He d be happy to install the ventaxia but thinks two systems on my size house would be better (lower fan speed etc). Edit - sorry read fitter not filter! Need to check.... I have asked for the special pollen filter as both my children are suffering from hay fever at present Edited May 27, 2016 by Trw144 Blindness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One company recommending the highflow and another saying 2 units would be quieter/better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) @Mac123 I've a 315m² house in progress at the minute and have punted for two Salda Smarty 3x units. Two units are better for a large house and you have lower fan speeds as well as air flow through the main ducts. Also means you can build in extra capacity for higher boost rates of needed. I've gone for the salda for a few reasons. They're bloody cheap. They're passive House certified which gives you certain guarantees on performance levels. Takes F7 filters. And the company seems to have a long history in ventilation and quality seems good. It's reasuringly heavy, in a ex Soviet kind of way Edited June 4, 2021 by Conor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
