Lesgrandepotato Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 So we are going to install a 500l thermal store into the utility room. This will create quite a bit of heat I suspect and it would be good to spread this round the building. In fact next to the utility is the integral garage which is full insulated - 60mm internal insulted PB, triple glazing and an insulated garage door. Would it be mad to put a single room mvhr system between these rooms to gentle heat the garage with the excess heat from the the TS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I suspect there may be a fireproofing issue, effectively having a garage and the house linked by ducting through what is supposed to be a fireproof wall. Perhaps if you had a fire alarm and fire dampers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt will be cost effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stones Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 If having a heated garage is important, why not fit the TS in there instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesgrandepotato Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Both good observations! I shall ponder further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 And from memory, there's a good amount of space in your garage (it's about the size of our house) : easy drain down, easy maintenance...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesgrandepotato Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 as long as it doesn't encroach over the french windows that could be neat. I suspect the plumber maybe less than enamoured at this development! It is only on the other side of the wall though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am indeed - on a day rate so I like to get a feel for just how much impact I'm creating :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Fwiw, with hydro covering your losses id deffo put it in the garage, and I'd also install a hot return loop so your not waiting for hot water at the taps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
