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.
Loft-mounted PIV
The most common option for houses with a loft. Usually fitted in half a day.
Heated PIV
A heater module tempers the incoming air in cold weather. Useful in homes where people feel draughts.

Questions from Aberkenfig
What is the price of a PIV unit in Aberkenfig?

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.
