Yes. If anyone arrests you tell them I said it was ok.
So can I still DIY a fan replacement if it's like for like, e.g. a failed unit?
Everyone will.So can I still DIY a fan replacement if it's like for like, e.g. a failed unit?
Bit excessive. Mine didn't when I had to take my MVHR offline for a fortnight but I understand that you're being deliberately obtuse. Someone who has had the foresight to create or buy a well draughtproofed home with an MVHR would hopefully also understand the need to arrange alternative ventilation if the regular system were down for any reason.If not, then they will become mouldy rotboxes within a week.
Air-tight is the wrong phrase. Draught-proofed is better because "adequate ventilation" means "controlled ventilation" and a building fabric with gaps and holes (trickle vents) is not "controlled"If they build air-tight houses but Part F says buildings must be adequately ventilated something is not right.
See my post #17.
Ok, but that was the phrase used in the video.Air-tight is the wrong phrase. Draught-proofed is better because "adequate ventilation" means "controlled ventilation" and a building fabric with gaps and holes (trickle vents) is not "controlled"
Why do you think that was?Mine didn't when I had to take my MVHR offline for a fortnight
It wouldn't with an MVHR, because the occupant isn't really in control of it, unless they climb step ladders in every room and wind the plenum vents closed on their screw adjustersHowever, if all the "controlled ventilation" is closed by the inhabitant would that make the building air-tight?
Primarily because I built the house, made the choices, fitted the system and understood what I had to do to have it remain a healthy space to live. I arranged alternative ventilation, but I was very glad when I repaired the PCB of the unit and got it up and running againWhy do you think that was?
I will give 4 unicorn points to anyone who correctly surmises why the greatest concentration of mould is to be seen at the top of the radiator
Obvious, innit
There's a little more to it than that.Clearly not to Awaab's parent/s.. :/
