How we approach PIV in Goodmayes
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.

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.
