How we approach PIV in Bangor
It does not replace extract fans: kitchens and bathrooms still need their own extract to remove steam at source. On survey we check the loft, the landing position and the existing fans, and we tell you if PIV is not the right answer.
PIV with fan upgrades
PIV plus humidity-controlled extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom for the most stubborn condensation.

Questions from Bangor
What is the price of a PIV unit in Bangor?
Guide prices for Bangor use Northern Ireland rates: positive input ventilation (PIV) loft unit, supplied and fitted is typically £725 to £1,275 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How much does PIV cost to run?
A standard PIV unit uses very little electricity, comparable to a low-energy light bulb on normal speed. A heated unit costs more in cold spells because the heater switches on when loft air is cold.
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.
Is the survey free in Bangor?
Visits here are by arrangement. Because of the ferry or long travel involved, we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit, and we can often combine visits to keep the cost down.
