PIV for Chapel Allerton homes
PIV works well in houses and flats with general condensation on windows and cold walls. It does not replace extract fans: kitchens and bathrooms still need their own extract to remove steam at source.
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.
