What the work involves
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.
Loft-mounted PIV
The most common option for houses with a loft. Usually fitted in half a day.
Heated PIV
A heater module tempers the incoming air in cold weather. Useful in homes where people feel draughts.

Rules that apply in England

Questions from Newton Abbot
What is the price of a PIV unit in Newton Abbot?
Guide prices for Newton Abbot use South West rates: positive input ventilation (PIV) loft unit, supplied and fitted is typically £825 to £1,450 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
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.
