Has anyone installed a small heat recovery system in their house and is it worth it?
We currently have a shower room downstairs with no fan and we had very little heating during last winter, so the shower room is the only place we've seen condensation.
I've created a new main bathroom upstairs and the upstairs toilet will become an ensuite with shower so I was thinking of using a heat recovey unit instead of 2 extractor fans?
Take the heat from those rooms and duct it downstairs probably. We live in a Welsh cottage and I've gone mad with insulation in the dormer roof so upstairs rooms are warm, but downstairs can still be chilly with the stone walls.
I'd only want the unit running as an extractor fan would, so comes on with the lights or humidity.
Is it possible and worth doing or a waste of time and I should stick with normal extractor fans?
