This week the mechanical heat recovery ventilation system eventually appeared and first-fix installation started in the Mill and main extension areas. The unit itself is a bit of a monster actually, much bigger than we were expecting! It sits up in the small loft space that we have above the first floor landing. The ducting then branches out from there to the various rooms. By design it will extract from "wet rooms", recover that heat, then use the same heat to warm fresh air before pumping it back into the other rooms - basically giving a constant change-over of the air in all rooms without losing heat. It should be pretty much silent but we will be surrounding the loft and bedrooms with acoustic insulation just in case!
First fix plumbing also started this week. Spaghetti junction wiring continued also!
