Where in the house should I place the ventilation unit?
The placement of the ventilation unit is important for functionality, energy efficiency, and ease of use. There are several practical and technical considerations to take into account before choosing the final location.
Answer:
There are several factors to consider when placing a ventilation unit. The most important is to have a short distance to the outdoor air intake and exhaust on the exterior wall, which should preferably be located on a north- or east-facing wall to reduce the impact of sun and heat. The unit must also be positioned so that there is easy access for service and filter replacement.
Cabinet-type units are often placed in a storage room, technical room, or laundry room. Units designed for attic installation are normally placed in the attic. Flexit also offers ceiling-mounted units that can be installed in the ceiling. These are particularly well suited for smaller homes or apartments with limited space and can, for example, be installed in a hallway or entrance area.
