PIV for Ware homes
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.
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.
