GENVEX MVHR Installed and Working!

It's been a successful weekend - we have managed to get the MVHR system in and working. We now have Hot & Cold Water Feeds to kitchen/bathroom/utility - just need them connecting to bathroom furniture etc... we now have Under floor heating working and hot water - WOW!


This is the MVHR unit - it also provides hot water - and we have the capability to install solar panels to it - all the pipework required has been installed ready for this. Hopefully in the near future installing solar panels for free hot water is going to be relatively simple.



The MVHR unit is a bit complicated - the user manual is about 20 A4 pages long - it is a very clever piece of kit - but boy it is going to be interesting getting it set-up correctly. Also made in Denmark (GENVEX) it's manual is not written in the best English.

We have a number of rooms now ready for carpeting - upstairs is just about done, all emulsion and glossing has been completed, and downstairs is about 80% done.

We should be moving in soon and christams is now looming... will we make it?

    Congratulations on getting so far.
    I have had a MVHR system running since 1988, but it is not one incorporating a heat pump.

    hi tm,

    thanks - MVHR was a bit of a leap of faith for us - what do you think of it?

    Would be interested to know the running costs especially with the cold weather we are having at the moment, the COP must be reduced to almost 1 at sub-zero temperatures. I am currently thinking of installing one in a newbuild with it as the only source of heat (well with a 1kw heater for really cold days)

    i will be working out running costs - so keep posted.
    of course the COP will be way down during winter - but we will be Ok in spring/summer/autumn. i guess no system is perfect. the EUFH working on option14 electricity is designed to take most of the space heating requirement in winter - the COMBI 185 doing the hot water only, at a very reduced COP!!
    what build system are you using? i guess it would be SIPS if you are using MVHRHP as main heating?
    thanks for your input, and keep posted for running costs/heating assesment.
