• Pressed go for ASHP installation as part of house extension. Getting Vaillant unit. Very hyped.

    Has anyone here got a MVHR system in their house? We’re considering getting one installed as part of the building works, it’s now or never as all the floors, ceilings and walls are open.

  • All that said it does work and seems to be surprisingly cheap to run. Doesn’t have to work too hard as there’s only two of us and the house is quite well insulated, but on Agile Octopus and the Homely optimised to use the cheapest electricity prices (we got paid a few pence to heat our house the other night) it’s only like £60 a month for heating, hot water and all other elec. We’ll see when a couple of weeks of sub zero comes along in Jan.

    Not in a house, but in a flat that we lived in for 3 years. They're really fantastic, it makes drying laundry an absolute dream, without using a tumble dryer or a dehumidifier. The only downside we ever noticed is that house plants mostly tended to get quite unhappy as the air is so dry.
