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 Horbury
Do you cover Horbury and nearby?
Yes. We cover Horbury and nearby places including Ossett, Wakefield, Dewsbury and Batley. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
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.
