shuff27 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Currently doing 1st fix electrical. My MVHR unit will be located in the utility room. I've just noticed that it comes with a remote control facility via LAN and I'm unsure where to locate this - in the kitchen seems sensible so as to active boost setting while cooking. But that's right next to the utility. Would it make any sense to have the remote control somewhere upstairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I find it more important to activate boost when showering, so it there is only one controller, upstairs between the bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Zehnder MVHR has an automatic boost when it detects an increase in humidity so having the controller near the bathrooms doesn't make sense for us. I guess every situation is different and I'm leaning towards near the kitchen for boosting when cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceverge Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 We have no remote controls. I just play with the front panel controller in the utility on the very rare occasion anything needs adjusting. No shower boost either. It does get steamy but clears quickly. RH the house is a pretty construction 55%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I routinely fit humidity sensors in each bath / shower room, above the door on the inside of the room, so that is not only automated, but also runs on until the humidity has deffo completely dropped / dissipated. 3 hours ago, shuff27 said: Currently doing 1st fix electrical.

Boost button in the kitchen, humidistats as above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuff27 Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Thanks for all the suggestions. Mine will also be a Zehnder (Q450) so I'll check the auto boost function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adsibob Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I put a boost button near each toilet in the house, to clear the smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used them; normal airflow does the job ok, and the internal humidistat sorts out bath/shower steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
