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.
Plan services and controls without unnecessarily cutting through distinctive joinery.
Decide this before construction
Dismantle retained elements only with an agreed recording and storage plan. Take final bespoke measurements after assessing the adjoining substrate.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep colour and finishing-system records for each element. Also note which older surfaces require gentle cleaning under the applicable care 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.
