Nuaire Drimaster Eco HC Condensation Control PIV Bundle for Lofts with Hygrometer

Product Information

All Nuaire Drimaster PIVS units are designed to perform with extremely low noise levels, always ensuring the best level of whole house air ventilation is maintained. There are numerous sensors you can use as a bonus. Choose between the carbon dioxide detector or the remote humidity sensor. There is also a four-button switch you can keep anywhere in the home to have control over the boost function. This switch also gives you the ability to control the heater in case you desire manual adjustment. PIV systems create fresh and healthy living environments by supplying fresh, filtered air into a property at a continuous rate throughout a property and is our most popular method of whole house ventilation. Energy recovery ventilation systems provide a controlled way of ventilating a home while minimising energy loss. They reduce the costs of heating ventilated air in the winter by transferring heat from the warm inside exhaust air to the fresh (but cold) outside supply air. PIV does also rely on the availability of some loft space to put the unit in, so is not ideally suited to apartments or homes with vaulted ceilings or flat roofs. However, there are wall-mounted alternatives available too. Positive input ventilation is a highly trusted, cost-effective, and simple solution to ensure clean air flows freely throughout your home, making poor indoor air quality a thing of the past. PIV units are used for a few different reasons, including the displacement of indoor pollutants, including stagnant and humid air. The installation of PIV units is generally recommended if you’re not looking to carry out a full renovation of your home yet require ventilation throughout the dwelling without removing any walls. Does a PIV unit cure damp and condensation?

You will also need to make sure that Building Regulations Part F is complied with, as the PIV unit does not act as an extract ventilator. Another alternative upgrade on the HC model with the ability to link to a choice of wireless controls and interactive sensors: including the relative humidity (RH) and carbon dioxide sensors which automatically increase the fans speed when the target setting on the sensors are met. However, most people are struggling to understand what this gadget is and how it works. We have done some research and put together all the information you need to make an informed choice on getting a PIV unit. What is a PIV unit? New and modern homes are at risk of condensation: poorly heated homes are prone to condensation dampness. In contrast, well-insulated homes with double glazing or insulation can trap moist air inside the house. When it comes to curing damp and condensation, PIV is the most cost-effective whole home system in the market today: that’s why it’s trusted by so many homeowners and landlords across the UK. How energy efficient are Nuaire’s PIV units?It’s important to note that this unit doesn’t in itself provide any extraction of water. Instead, this PIV unit works by pumping fresh air into your home. When this happens, the old air is forced out and your condensation levels are lowered.

Studies show that activities such as cooking, cleaning, and bathing generate up to 12.5 litres of moisture per day. This amount of moisture can cause excess condensation and mould growth as a result. This can damage both your health and property. A Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit is designed to improve indoor air quality by introducing fresh air into your home through a filter, while at the same time, expelling stale air out. PIV units can help control humidity levels and prevent condensation, but they are not specifically designed to reduce humidity levels in the air. Extremely energy efficient – System goes into standby during warmer months when there is no evidence of condensation If you want to learn more about how a PIV unit works, we’ve written an article, “ What is a PIV Unit?” The airtightness of the property does play a part as air will travel the path of least resistance and you don’t want it escaping out the nearest window and having no effect on rooms further away from the diffuser.The Drimaster-ECO range is designed for whole house ventilation for single or 2 storey homes with a loft space. Unique cost effective solution on tempering incoming air – Thermostatically controlled 400 watt comfort heater positioned at the diffuser resulting in minimal heat loss The PIV unit works on the whole house, and so you don’t have to utilise damp busting methods in different rooms

The Nuaire Drimaster Eco Heat HCS (PIV) Cures condensation dampness – PIV reduces the humidity in the air, curing condensation dampness preventing mould growth It is also known that fumes from detergents, gas outlets, paints and odours can pollute the air around your home. Given that a normal person breathes up to 11000 litres of air per day, good air quality is imperative. Poor indoor air quality can cause diseases such as asthma and other breathing system difficulties.

How many storeys does your home have?

Your Drimaster-Eco PIV system is designed to be mounted in the loft space where it draws fresh air through the G4 grade filters, and inputs it at ceiling level into the home. Positive Pressurisation is the most effective method of retrofit whole-home ventilation and is a tried and trusted cure for condensation dampness. The installation of a PIV unit can greatly increase indoor air quality and prevent many of these issues. Drimaster-Eco Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) ventilation systems are the most effective method of curing and preventing condensation dampness. Recommended for planned and reactive ventilation servicing, essentially the concept is to introduce fresh, filtered air into the dwelling at a continuous rate, encouraging movement of air from inside to outside. To achieve this, the unit is mounted in the loft space, drawing air through the filters and inputting it, at ceiling level, into the property. An integrated heater tempers airflow should the temperature in the loft space drop below a set point, ensuring ultimate comfort in the home. PIV works by drawing fresh air in through the unit that’s usually, but not always, installed in your loft. This air is then filtered and gently diffused at ceiling level, creating a positive pressure within the home that forces air pollutants out through the natural leakage gaps found in every UK property, both old and new. When would you recommend using a PIV unit? If you have a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit installed in your home and are experiencing a musty smell coming from the loft, there are a few things you can do to help alleviate the problem:
