💧 Is Condensation a Problem in Your Home?
Condensation is a leading cause of mould and damp problems—particularly in homes that have been sealed up with double glazing and insulation. While these improvements boost energy efficiency, they can also restrict airflow, allowing moisture to build up inside.
If you’ve noticed steamed-up windows, damp patches, or black mould, a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system could be the long-term solution your Chester home needs.
🌬️ What is a PIV System?
A PIV system works by gently introducing filtered, fresh air—usually from your loft—into your home. This continuous airflow helps to:
✅ Reduce moisture and condensation
✅ Improve indoor air quality
✅ Prevent mould growth
✅ Create a healthier living environment
Unlike extractor fans, a PIV system works continuously in the background, helping to control humidity levels across the entire home.
🏠 Perfect for Chester Homes
Older Chester homes and modern sealed properties alike can benefit from PIV installation—especially where existing ventilation is poor. Whether you’re in a city terrace or a countryside cottage, condensation can still be a problem.
We use high-performance PIV units from PAM Ties that are energy efficient, quiet, and suitable for both houses and flats.
