Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to your most frequently asked questions about our mechanical ventilation systems.
How does a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system work?
A loft PIV unit draws air from the loft space and once passed through the filter on the unit, pushes the clean air into the house via a ceiling diffuser, typically located in a central location (I.e hallway or landing area). If you have a warm roofspace, an Airsource PIV unit may be required, which draws air in from outside.
Will a PIV system help with mould/condensation in my home?
A PIV system promotes free air circulation and eliminates or reduces surface condensation, which causes mould growth. However, you may need to take other steps to help reduce condensation – check out our top tips for reducing condensation in your home.
Is it expensive to run?
Because of the low energy fan inside, a PIV unit is inexpensive to run (approximately the equivalent of a 60w lightbulb).
Does the unit need serviced?
There are no service requirements for a PIV system, although we recommend changing the filter every 5 years.
