PIV for Eccles homes

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.

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.
