How To Fit An Elta PIV Unit Step by Step With Damp Sam

I’ve fitted Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units before on the channel but this video shows you step by step from the box to the loft. @elta @ventilation @pca

remarkable work again sam !

Hi Sam, thanks for your great channel. Would be great to see a comparison between the PIV products that you've used, why you recommend the ones you do, running costs, heated devices, how they're wired up and what they sound like in operation if you have chance. I'm sure that with all the insulation of buildings, these devices are going to be needed more and more in the future. Thanks.

Ill Put that one in the book Andy

These things are a life saver. I always use my fans in kitchen and bathroom but still not enough so had to install one of these. I have the nuair one and got it for a bargain through work. Don't bother with the heated ones coz there expensive to run and the normal ones just mix with heated air from the house anyway. Seems mad to spend all this money on double glazing and insulation then have to install a draft vent but what can you do

[@dampsam]

Yes your right Rozzer, big market for these at the moment and in the future ☝️

Hello Dave, Which PIV wall unit would you recommend for a 3 bed flat roof house please? And how much to supply and fit? 😁

[@dampsam]

We would have to do a survey first

[@kieranardaen-webb9913]

What make/model would you recommend?

[@dampsam]

I like Elta at the moment

I've got an envirovent piv unit. It was installed a week ago. The insulation smell from the attic has filled the whole house. Please tell me this smell goes away soon....

[@dampsam]

Sounds like the loft may not be vented enough, you may need some roof vents, this should have been looked at by the surveyor doing the initial survey

[@jenniferdoyle3969]

@@dampsam Yes, I think so too... He did look in the attic and said there was plenty of air up there. I will ring them tomorrow. Thank you for your advice.

Hi Jennifer. Has the loft insulation smell in your house gone away / reduced? I topped up our loft insulation, and there is a slight 'damp dog' smell in the house, presumably from the recently fitted insulation.
