Your house acts like a sponge that absorbs the moisture produced by cooking, showering, and even breathing. Such moisture added to the air is always a result that might lead to fogging on surfaces such as windows or walls. That is where a PIV system comes to the fore.

The PIV System is placed in the loft and pulls in fresh, filtered air from outside and moves it into your home through the vents. As the fresh air is passing out, it will displace the stagnant moist air, and thus it will keep the interior of your home relatively dry and cosy.

You can ensure a draft by running the PIV system all the time so that instead of condensation occurring, it could go in advance. No more foggy windows or dirty walls, and instead clean, dry air will go around your house.

Reasons to Buy: Why You’ll Love It:

  • Constant Fresh Air: You can forget about the boring dead air and instead welcome fresh, filtered air.
  • Avoids the Condensation Damp and also the mould: You manage to keep the air in your house dry and thus there are no longer condense walls, windows, and ceilings.

PIV Systems reign as the leading cause of the fall in humidity in the entire residence. PIV systems create a general environment that is not conducive to the growth of mould.

A PIV system is not only a cousin of a super mould-proof, but is far beyond that. It offers a variety of different advantages in this respect and, for this reason, it is an option that you should give consideration to. Other than blocking the growth of mould and damp, it can also cause the following to happen:

  • Improves Air Quality: The steady inflow of fresh air ensures that the stale and polluted air is continuously removed and replaced by cleaner air, which in turn, makes it easier to breathe.
  • Reduces Energy Bills: The PIV systems are energy-efficient versions and, therefore, the electricity bill remains untouched despite the fact that they cool a house down and thus ventilate it.
  • Simple to Maintain: PIVs are a very low-effort way to gain benefits, you just need to change the filter once in a while and that’s all. Owing to this the air conditioning cost you would have to bear if you used coal, oil, or even gas heaters, is much less.

Once installed, glimpsing the difference will be a matter of days. The air feels new and clean, the water vapour disappears, which qualifies your home to be a healthier and quite a bit more comfortable place.

(FAQ)Frequently Asked Questions  

1. What exactly is a PIV system?

A PIV system is a ventilation solution that continues to bring fresh, filtered air to your home and remove the moist and stale air from it. However, it also ensures that your home is kept dry and hence condensation is reduced to a large extent which in turn reduces the growth of mould.

2. How does a PIV system stop condensation?

This happens because it gives out fresh and dry air all the time, which means there is no moisture left for it to crystallize on the surfaces like windows, walls which leads to the formation of condensation.

3. Can a PIV system help with existing mould?

While a PIV system prevents future mould growth, it won’t remove existing mould. For that, it’s best to tackle the mould first and then install a PIV system to keep it from coming back.

4. Is a PIV system hard to install?

Not at all! Installation is easy and does not require any downward adjustment. It is most commonly placed in the loft and a discreet vent is used to transport the air into the home.

5. Does it make my home colder?

No! PIVs don’t decrease the temperature in your home. They just introduce fresh and dry air which results in the improvement of ventilation and at the same time doesn’t cool down your house.

6. How much energy does a PIV system use?

PIV systems are meant to work on very low electricity and require only a small amount of electricity, which means that more money goes to the owner. However, the ventilation system does bring in fresh air that does not let mould and dust settle in and does so in a very quiet way as well.

They are so easy to maintain that you only need to fit a new filter occasionally to make sure that they run at their peak all the time.
