How we approach PIV in Montrose
It does not replace extract fans: kitchens and bathrooms still need their own extract to remove steam at source. On survey we check the loft, the landing position and the existing fans, and we tell you if PIV is not the right answer.
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.

Yes. We cover Montrose and nearby places including Arbroath, Forfar, Carnoustie and Stonehaven. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
Can PIV be fitted in a flat?
Yes. Flats without loft space use a wall-mounted PIV unit that draws air from outside through an outside wall.
