While in Summer or at times of a higher temperature, the humidity in our homes is at an acceptable level. During colder months, when you use your heating more and the humidity in your home increases, the water in the air cools down on the surface of windows and creates condensation.
Condensation occurs on cold windows and walls when you cook or bathe. If the ventilation in your home is inadequate, condensation will accumulate and leave water pools that turn into damp. If left untreated, this can be the breeding ground for black mould.
So how can we bring condensation under control? Raise the temperature, making sure to keep it at more of a constant and ventilate your home.
All of these can be solved by installing a PIV Unit!
Positive Input Ventilation Unit, PIV Unit for short, is a device that can be installed into lofts or walls to help regulate airflow by taking fresh air from outside and pumping it into a home to remove stale, humid or stagnant air.
PIV Units can be installed with ease and can be fully configured to certain temperatures based on the current household problems and resident preferences. The temperature of the air is changed by the unit automatically.
One of our surveyors will check the efficiency of your existing insulation. They will also:
All of our surveyors are highly trained and use an array of tools & digital instruments to help them come to the correct conclusion. They will then explain any issues to you, talk about any dangers that your problem could cause you, and fully explain a solution.

We love doing an amazing job for our customers, but dont take our word for it, here are some real life reviews from people that we have been out to help:
Ian Bryn Roberts –
We had too much humidity in the house causing condensation on our windows and toilet cistern plus damp and mould in wardrobes. We were recommended a piv but were concerned about noise and whether the air flow would feel draughty. Very pleased with the system within a week we no longer have condensation and the air feels fresher. The unit is barely noticeable and much quieter than the dehumidifier we were using before. The system was fitted by Harry- punctual, polite and efficient. Clean and tidy job and everything explained to us.

Home Energy Serve Limited (Steve) came out to assess damp in a wall and stayed for over an hour to explain the issues and what needed doing
They arranged for the job to be done as fast as possible in order to make my home safe for children, so they weren’t around black mould
They had a cancellation so brought the job forward which was ideal
The job was completed quickly, efficiently and professionally by Jim and Craig and unlike most tradespeople they tidied up everything afterwards. It’s like they never came but with a better wall 😁
Thank you

Absolutely great service from start to finish. Gentleman that came out to originally do the service was very polite and genuine booked me in as soon as possible to suit me as was going on holiday. Explained how the damp proof course would be done. Morning of the job two young men turned up on time very polite. Got straight on with the job, very considerate and efficient. Cleaned up after themselves. Offered to put the furniture back but I said it was okay. Absolutely fantastic job done no complaints would highly recommend
