882301 2010-05-07 04:36:00 You can get better savings by turning down your hot water cylinder thermostat and having shorter showers (sending your daughter to university in a different city will achieve the similar, or better, savings! :D)

We're planning to export ours to Australia, :D the savings will be more consistent that way. Next we have to work out a way to rehouse our son, that will cut the food bills down by 80% as well!

Cheers

It's more of a pressure balancing act - the HRV system moves air from the roofspace into the house (through a filter, of course).

This prevents the ceiling from sagging under the weight of the air that builds up in the roofspace and would otherwise have nowhere to go....

I guess the master switch on the switchboard is supposed to perform that function for my house. The actual power switch for my HRV is up in the roof beside the unit.
