What Is a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) System?
A PIV system works by bringing fresh, filtered air into your home, creating a gentle, positive air pressure. This pushes out stale, moisture-laden air and helps maintain a steady, dry airflow, making it difficult for dampness and condensation to form. Installed in your loft, it supplies air that is filtered and continuously refreshed, keeping your home’s air quality high.
Why Northern Ireland Homes Can Benefit from a PIV System
The climate in Northern Ireland brings frequent rain and humidity, leading to moisture buildup in homes. Damp air can lead to condensation on walls and windows, and over time, this can cause issues like:
- Mould and mildew growth – which can damage walls and ceilings and affect health.
- Poor air quality – with moisture trapping pollutants, allergens, and musty odours.
- Increased risk of respiratory issues – especially for asthma sufferers.
How a PIV System Tackles Dampness
- Constant Fresh Air Supply – By introducing fresh, dry air, PIV systems flush out moisture and reduce condensation.
- Healthier Environment – Preventing damp reduces mould growth and improves air quality, making your home healthier.
- Energy Efficiency – Many PIV systems are energy-efficient, using little electricity, and some come with heat recovery options for added warmth in colder months.
Is a PIV System Right for You?
If you’re tired of dealing with damp or musty air, a PIV system could be a practical and discreet solution. It’s low-maintenance, cost-effective, and ideal for reducing moisture and improving your indoor environment.
