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.

Heat Recovery Ventilation (MVHR)
MVHR, short for Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery, is a balanced system that removes stale air and supplies fresh air in equal measure. Moist air from steamy spaces such as bathrooms, en-suites and the kitchen is drawn into a central Nuaire MRXBOX unit and sent outside. On its way out, it warms the clean, filtered air being brought in, which is then piped to the rest of your home. Fresh air reaches every room, but the heat stays inside where it belongs.
MVHR is the perfect partner for new builds, extensions and whole-house renovations across Swindon and Wiltshire, giving you a healthier home that costs less to run.
