Positive Input Ventilation for a Flat
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.45 PM
Does PIV work and have you installed this in a flat using Nuaire Flatmaster 2000 condensation unit with built in heater? Would extraction fans do the same job? The flat has condensation and mould so I want the right product to do the job. Thanks for all your help Nick

Hi Nick
I currently install 2/3 PIV units a month and about the same extraction units
For a company call trustguard damp proofing and from what I can gather
Moisture in the bathroom and kitchen can be removed easily with a trickle and boost NUaire genie extractor fan,a fan that runs constantly at low speed (very quiet) then can either be boosted by a switch or automatically on humidistat setting (detects moisture levels)so drawing out moisture 24/7.
Moisture from either of these rooms travels so can cause problems throughout out the flat.
A PIV unit is for more severe problems and constantly pumps fresh clean air into the property with an added thermostatically controlled heater so the unit is not pumping cold air into the property.
From what I can gather (don't quote me on this) Mould can't grow on clean fresh air been pumped into the property.
But I'm just an electrician who fits them for this company to be honest
They are the experts
