In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). For homes, it sets minimum extract rates such as 15 litres a second for a bathroom and 30 or 60 for a kitchen, and expects mechanical systems to be airflow-tested.
Questions from Clitheroe
What area around Clitheroe do you work in?
All of Lancashire. Near Clitheroe that includes Great Harwood, Padiham, Brierfield and Accrington.
How much does PIV cost to run?
A standard PIV unit uses very little electricity, comparable to a low-energy light bulb on normal speed. A heated unit costs more in cold spells because the heater switches on when loft air is cold.
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.
