What the work involves
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. Flats without a loft use a wall-mounted unit that draws air from outside through a cored hole.
Wall-mounted PIV for flats
Draws air from outside through an outside wall. Suits flats and homes with no loft space.
PIV with fan upgrades
PIV plus humidity-controlled extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom for the most stubborn condensation.

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.
