PIV Units in Worthing | Covering Brighton, Hove and all Sussex Areas
While we have built our reputation on our electrical services and an adaptive approach to renewable energies, including EV charging point and PV solar panel installations, Eden Electrical Contractors Ltd is on the frontline of trade innovation in many other ways. Positive input ventilation (PIV) units are one of our most cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions. PIV units ventilate the home by pushing out stale, unhealthy air and replacing it with dry, fresh air.
Our electricians can undertake PIV unit installations in the following areas:
Brighton | Hassocks | Haywards Heath | Hove | Worthing | Sussex
On this page, we take a closer look at positive input ventilation systems, learn about what they are, and explain what they can do for your property.
How do PIV units work?
We typically install PIV units in the loft space but will advise you on positioning during our survey of your property. PIV technology works by drawing in fresh air through the unit, filtering it and then diffusing the filtered air at ceiling level.
Positive pressure forces contaminants from the natural gaps found in every UK property to leave behind air that is cleaner and easier to breathe in.
Why should I consider a PIV unit?
Eden Electrical Contractors Ltd recommends PIV units as a dependable, cost-effective and straightforward method of cleaning airflows so that bad air quality isn’t a problem within the home. PIV technology can actively displace pollutants using positive pressure, ridding properties of stagnant, humid air.
We will especially recommend a unit if you want better ventilation but do not want to remove walls, or to refurbish or renovate other parts of the home.
Will a PIV unit cure dampness and condensation?
More than 20% of UK homes suffer from poor ventilation, which increases the risk of condensation, mould growth, steamy windows and low-quality indoor air. The average family property can produce as many as 10 litres of water a day through simple things like cooking, taking a bath or drying clothes inside.
Poorly heated homes are equally at risk to condensation. A UK property with good double glazing and insulation will also trap in moist air. A PIV unit will cure dampness and condensation, and this is an increasingly popular choice for UK homes because the solution is so simple and cost-effective.
Are PIV units efficient?
Yes. Our preferred brand of PIV units maximises innovation to tackle poor air quality using 20% less energy than other leading models. This keeps the cost of utilities under control and ensures a longer product lifecycle.
The technology behind PIV units has aided ventilation strategies for over 50 years and is still as reliable as ever as we move forward into the future.
Clients in Brighton, Hassocks, Haywards Heath, Hove and Worthing, and those in the surrounding Sussex area, choose our electricians for PIV unit installations because we have NICEIC accreditation, and our team complies with all parts of the UK Building Regulations in addition to the current edition of the IET Wiring Regulations.
