PIV can suit Tynemouth houses and flats because it treats the whole home from one quiet unit.
We cover Tynemouth and the surrounding NE29, NE30 and NE33 postcodes as part of our work across Tyne and Wear. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

PIV for Tynemouth homes
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.
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.
