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

Product Information

In simple terms, positive input ventilation (PIV) is a method of ventilation used to improve the house’s air quality. This device uses a fan to push out moist and stagnant air while replacing it with fresh, filtered and dry air. As a result, ventilation is improved around your home, thus curbing breathing problems and preventing property damage. Currently, over 1 million homes in the UK are fitted with PIV units! Some PIV units come with the option of warming the air as it is blown into the home. Because of this, you benefit from a warmer home as well as a dry one. How does a PIV unit work?

With this system, you can expect to enjoy a high-quality breathing environment throughout your home. This means you can expect a reduction of allergens that lead to asthma and other respiratory illnesses. In addition, you should see less condensation, mould and odours in your house. Features and Benefits This heater ensures that the air entering the home is in line with your comfort level. By warming the air at the ceiling level, you save energy. In addition, the Nuaire Drimaster PIV Unit helps to remove indoor pollutants from cleaning and cooking. It also keeps the outdoor pollutant like pollen and traffic fumes where they belong. If you want to learn more about how a PIV unit works, we’ve written an article, “ What is a PIV Unit?” The installation of a PIV unit can greatly increase indoor air quality and prevent many of these issues.Nuaire’s PIV units are incredibly energy efficient; that’s been a big focus for us ever since we invented this enduring and trusted ventilation strategy half a century ago.

The principle behind the functionality of the PIV unit is the use of a small fan. This fan has various speed settings that can be altered according to the size of your home or the severity of any damp issues. Fan speed is selected on the PIV unit controller, air is then blown into the house from the loft. Most lofts are insulated in “breathable” materials which allows the PIV unit to draw fresh air from outside. There is no need to vent the unit externally as the natural breathability of your loft is all that is required. Please note some lofts are insulated by non-breathable materials, this would render the use of a PIV unit sub-optimal. An upgrade on the basic HC model that includes a 400W integral heater which tempers the air brought in from outside the property, after it has been filtered. It’s also worth noting that due to the positive pressure nature of a PIV unit, the temperature of the air it circulates will be somewhat affected by the temperature of the air in the loft. Hot air does rise, so this could warm your home somewhat, however, if your loft is under-insulated, in the colder winter months, this could cause colder air to be pushed through your home. PIV units can be combined with heaters, but this may undermine its low energy qualities, and cause running costs to rise significantly. Is Positive Input Ventilation Worth it? The Nuaire Drimaster PIV Unit is easy to install and the guide even comes complete with the instructions for DIYers or professional installers to follow. It teaches everything from the installation in the loft to how to set up those sensors. 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.When the loft exceeds temperatures of 23°C, the unit will go into a summer month system standby which saves you energy and time.

Nuaire Drimaster PIV is a whole house air ventilation system that works by drawing in fresh, filtered air into a property from outside. These can be either installed in a loft space or on a wall in a flat or apartment. They ensure that a continuous supply of air is supplied into the home to eliminate or significantly reduce condensation. 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.

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.
