How we approach PIV in Dundee
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.
PIV with fan upgrades
PIV plus humidity-controlled extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom for the most stubborn condensation.
Loft-mounted PIV
The most common option for houses with a loft. Usually fitted in half a day.

Questions from Dundee
Is the survey free in Dundee?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
How much does PIV cost to install?
A loft-mounted PIV unit usually costs £795 to £1,395 including VAT supplied and fitted, and £995 to £1,695 for a wall-mounted unit in a flat. A heater module adds around £145 to £295.
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.
