How much does PIV cost to install?
A loft-mounted PIV unit usually costs £795 to £1,395 including VAT supplied and fitted, and £995 to £1,695 for a wall-mounted unit in a flat. A heater module adds around £145 to £295.
Does PIV really stop condensation?
PIV reduces condensation in most homes because it dilutes moist air and keeps it moving, but it works best alongside working extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom. Leaks, rising damp or a cold bridge need fixing separately.
