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.
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.
