What this work involves
Discuss occupancy, existing provisions, sound and duct space. Have the system designed and commissioned for the home.
- System choice
- Ducts, terminals and noise
- Maintenance and commissioning
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Keep service routes and drainage accessible without obstructing daily passage.
Decide this before construction
Fix levels and drainage before ordering flooring and the door. Plan a temporary rear exit if the existing kitchen remains in use.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep drainage points and thresholds accessible for inspection. Record which components need cleaning under the selected product and detail instructions.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on system, duct routes, access and finishing. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for ventilation & heat recovery. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging ventilation & heat recovery?
Replacing a ventilation unit may not be enough. Supply air, transfer paths and duct condition also determine overall performance.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
