A Low Cost Solution to Condensation

In this episode of Nick discusses the benefits of Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems, particularly for rental properties facing issues with condensation and mold. Drawing from his recent experience with a whole-house refurbishment, Nick explains how PIV works by introducing fresh, filtered air into a home, creating a positive pressure that helps expel stale, humid air through natural leakage points.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) System: A PIV system introduces fresh filtered air into a property, creating positive pressure that helps expel stale, humid air and pollutants through natural leakage points. Installation and Cost: The installation of a PIV system can be relatively straightforward and adds minimal disruption, with costs around £450 when included in a full rewire. Benefits for Tenants: PIV systems improve indoor air quality by filtering out allergens, dust, and pollutants, which can be particularly beneficial for tenants with allergies or respiratory issues. Energy Efficiency: PIV systems are energy-efficient, with low running costs comparable to a light bulb. They can also contribute positively to a property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Market Value Enhancement: Installing a PIV system can increase the value of a property and serve as a strong selling point for potential tenants or buyers, as it demonstrates a commitment to providing a healthier living environment. BEST MOMENTS "It's a whole house ventilation system that works by introducing fresh filtered air into a property at a continuous rate." "While it's not a solution for all damp, it is really good for less airtight homes." "It's highly effective at reducing condensation and preventing mold by lowering humidity." "You can't blame their living style when you're looking at these courses; what you're looking for is ways to help them." "This is a way that you can actually mitigate some of this condensation humidity that comes from just people living in a property."
