That must have felt like a major achievement. Well done! At some point, I’d be very interested to hear what you would have done differently Helen? TIA👏👌👍
Hi. The MvHR unit needs a condensation drain and to get the fall needed the unit had to be raised on a plinth. This compressed the amount of space we had above the unit making it harder to squeeze everything in above it (especially with the baffles for sound reduction - the crinkly silver sections). I would have liked the unit to be nearer the sinks drain (in the utility next door) so the unit could be lower. We could have had the ducts coming out from the side of the unit but that didn’t work with other equipment in the room. Anyway, with the reduced working room I would have liked to organise the grey ducts more efficiently through the posi joists so they were in the correct places to go into the manifolds. I would have also insulated the ducts running through the loft more efficiently as they loose lots of heat. I just put them under the normal loft insulation but I think if I did it again I’d lag the pipes themselves before putting the loft insulation on top. This is something I could go back and do ……

@ Thank you for these details👍 When we get round to ours, I’ll bear these points in mind. Onwards and upwards 👌
