What the work involves

PIV plus humidity-controlled extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom for the most stubborn condensation.

Questions from Ossett
How do I get a price for a PIV unit in Ossett?
Use the guide price tool, the form on this page, live chat, WhatsApp or call 0800 088 6341. A postcode and a couple of photos help us give you a useful answer first time.
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.
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.
