PIV for Beaconsfield homes
PIV works well in houses and flats with general condensation on windows and cold walls. It does not replace extract fans: kitchens and bathrooms still need their own extract to remove steam at source.
PIV with fan upgrades
PIV plus humidity-controlled extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom for the most stubborn condensation.
Loft-mounted PIV
The most common option for houses with a loft. Usually fitted in half a day.

Questions from Beaconsfield
Is the survey free in Beaconsfield?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
Will PIV make my house cold?
Most units temper or reduce the flow when the incoming air is cold, and a heated unit warms it. Placed correctly on the landing, the air spreads gently rather than blowing on anyone.
Can PIV be fitted in a flat?
Yes. Flats without loft space use a wall-mounted PIV unit that draws air from outside through an outside wall.
