Improve Air Quality with Home Ventilation
Like lungs, homes need to breathe and its air supply should be regularly circulated. Home ventilation systems work to replace the stale air within your home with a supply of fresh air from outside, creating a healthier indoor environment. Without this kind of ventilation, the air in your home is likely to become damp and unpleasant, leading to increased condensation and mould.
Home Ventilation Systems also prevent the build-up of airborne pollutants and can even reduce the spread of airborne viruses. Installing these systems within your home can help to increase indoor air quality and eliminate the cause of condensation.

Positive Input Ventilation by Nuaire
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is a method created by market leaders, Nuaire, used to ventilate homes with a single system installed in the loft. It uses proven technology to draw in fresh air from outside which is then filtered to remove harmful pathogens before being fed into the home via a ceiling mounted diffuser. As the fresh air circulates, it pressurises the home which in turn, expels excess moisture along with allergens and other pollutants.
Positive Input Ventilation systems are quick, easy to install, and cost effective, making them an ideal solution for your home.

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is a whole-home system that keeps a constant exchange of air flowing through your property. Stale, damp air is drawn out of rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms, while fresh air from outside is filtered and delivered to bedrooms and living areas. At the centre of the system is a Nuaire MRXBOX unit. Inside it, the warmth from the outgoing air is captured and passed to the incoming air, so your home is ventilated without the heat you’ve paid for being lost.
MVHR systems are a smart long-term investment for new builds, extensions and major renovations, creating a comfortable, energy efficient home from day one.
