whetu Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Heh you should all just move into the cold, drafty flats where I've been living for the last few years. No need to open windows with the wind whistling in under doors and around window frames! Silly modern draftproof houses are the problem!

JK Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 We've got a DVS at home and it works very very well. Used to have condensation issues before but since installation the problem is gone. Our house is surrounded by alot of bush so stays pretty cool in summer but I was worried it would be too cold in winter. The roof gets alot of sun tho and since we've had the DVS we've only used our heat pump once and that was early in the morning before the sun had time to heat the roof space. Highly recommend seeing if one if suitable for your house if you have serious condensation issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 We have a HRV recently installed, and it's the best thing we have bought in ages.... even tho we have lidded tanks inside, we have the 8ft and another large tank in lounge, moisture still gets drawn which is to be expected... yet we have NO condensation now since the installation... Our HRV system comes with a heating option also... (of course extra cost on top of usual straight forward system cost). We haven't had to use the heating option. Our house is so much different now we have it installed, I have heard so much good feedback in regards to dust mites and mould being eliminated also due to the fact that they need a certain humidity to survive in a house, and having an HRV reduces that particular percentage of humidity, so neither survives. Anyway, that's just our experience with the HRV. Definately has killed the condensation problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm with Barrie on this one. Purchased a heat pump a year back - no condensation problems since and a temperature that I find comfortable any time of the year. I'm happy to come home to NZ's favourite air - Thanks Fleming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
