    Just get onto the landlord and ask him to get it disabled.

    I'm just wondering how you didn't notice it before you moved in. It looks like a monstrosity.

    Positive input ventilation can help prevent or reduce issues with mould or condensation by improving ventilation. There may not be wall vents in the rooms currently.

    I thought it was just the fuse box.

    Correct. There are no vents anywhere.

    The amount of people that are causing mould in their homes in Ireland is crazy. There is actually a woman I work with who smells musty because she lives in a mouldy home. She told me once that they have an issue with mould on their walls and I told her what was causing it and how to improve it and she basically has decided to love in a health hazzard rather than spend a few quid reheating the air because of ventilation.

    I agree, I hate mould. But this machine is blasting 10 degree air into the kitchen constantly 24/7. Meanwhile the radiator is fighting against it trying to warm the air. I might as well burn a wad of 50 notes. Had to turn it off.
