What the work involves
Loft air is usually a little warmer and drier than outside air, and the unit filters it before it comes down into the house. Many units have a temperature sensor that reduces the flow or switches to a heater module on cold days, so the incoming air does not feel like a draught.
Heated PIV
A heater module tempers the incoming air in cold weather. Useful in homes where people feel draughts.
Wall-mounted PIV for flats
Draws air from outside through an outside wall. Suits flats and homes with no loft space.

Questions from Abergele
Is the survey free in Abergele?
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.
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.
