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.

Questions from Broxburn
What is the price of a PIV unit in Broxburn?
Guide prices for Broxburn use Scotland rates: positive input ventilation (PIV) loft unit, supplied and fitted is typically £775 to £1,350 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
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.
