PIV units create air flow through positive air pressure
To understand how a PIV unit works, first you need to understand air flow and air pressure.
From global wind currents to chilly draughts in your house, air moves the same way: from areas of high air pressure to areas of low air pressure.
This means that if the air pressure inside your house is lower than outside, cold air will be pulled in, while the stale, moisture-heavy air inside your house stays put.
If the moisture in your home’s air is too high, it will collect on cold surfaces, causing condensation, damp and mould – all of which can damage your property and negatively affect your health.
By increasing the air pressure inside your house, air will naturally be pushed outside through existing vents, along with the moisture and allergens it contains.This is exactly what PIV units do. By constantly ventilating your home with fresh air from your loft or outside, PIV units create positive air pressure at a fraction of the cost of an MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) unit or full house air conditioning.
The science is simple and the results are dramatic. Immediately after you switch on your PIV unit, you’ll notice an improvement in air quality and, over time, your condensation, damp and mould problems will be reduced – if not eliminated entirel
