Nuaire Heated PIV Installation Alfreton

Fresh Air for a Damp-Prone Home
At ClearAir PIV, we take pride in helping homeowners across Derbyshire. Our free assessments and PIV installations help solve persistent condensation and black mould problems. Recently, we completed another successful PIV unit installation for Katrina Barlow. Katrina is a homeowner in Alfreton who was struggling with damp and poor air quality in her bungalow.
The Property and the Problem
Katrina lives in a lovely three-bedroom detached bungalow in Alfreton. Over time, she began to notice condensation forming on windows. This had also led to black mould patches appearing in corners and around the bathroom ceiling.
Despite regular cleaning and good heating, the problem kept coming back. This was a clear sign that the moisture levels in the property were too high. The air often felt heavy, and the mould growth was starting to damage paintwork and plaster.
That’s when Katrina decided to contact ClearAir PIV for a professional assessment.
The PIV Assessment In Alfreton
Our experienced assessor, Steven, visited Katrina’s home to carry out a full condensation and ventilation survey. Using moisture readings and airflow checks, he confirmed that humidity levels were above normal. This meant ventilation was limited in the property especially in the colder rooms.
After explaining how a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system works, Steven recommended the Nuaire Heated PIV Unit. The heated model would ensure consistent, fresh airflow throughout the bungalow. Whilst also maintaining a comfortable temperature all year-round.
Katrina was happy with the clear advice and our competitive pricing, and decided to go ahead with the installation.
The PIV Unit Installation In Alfreton
A few days later, Cameron from our installation team arrived to fit the system. As always, the installation was carried out with seamless precision. A clean, efficient install, with minimal disruption to Katrina and her home.
The Nuaire Heated PIV unit was installed neatly in the loft space, with ducting positioned to deliver balanced airflow across the whole property. Once fitted, Cameron ran a full system check to ensure perfect operation. Then explained to Katrina how the controls could be adjusted for comfort during different seasons.
Within hours, the PIV system was up and running. Pushing out stale, damp air and replacing it with fresh, filtered air.
Why Choose a Nuaire Heated PIV System?
A Nuaire Heated PIV unit works by gently introducing filtered, clean air into your home. The unit creates positive pressure and removes moisture and pollutants. The built-in heater ensures comfort during colder months. All in all making it the perfect solution for bungalows and homes with limited insulation.
For properties like Katrina’s in Alfreton and across Derbyshire, it’s a long-term solution. It not only stops condensation and black mould. But it also improves overall air quality and energy efficiency.
The Results From The PIV Installation
Within days of installation, Katrina noticed a huge improvement.
- No more condensation forming on windows.
- Cleaner, fresher air throughout the house.
- Black mould stopped returning after cleaning.
- The home felt warmer, drier, and far more comfortable.
Katrina said, “From initial enquiry to completion of fitting of VIP unit I have nothing but praise for this firm. Communication from Steven was always prompt and information given was clear and concise. No "hard sell" just good advice. Cameron fitted the unit and completed a full electrical check. He was also very pleasant, got on with the job and was able to answer any queries. He also left no mess and completed the work in a few hours. Early days but the unit appears to be doing its job well. Absolutely no condensation from day one. Can completely recommend this firm”

Another great result for a homeowner in Derbyshire. Always nice to hear the assessment and installation team being singled out for praise as well. We were happy to help.
Why PIV Systems Work In Alfreton
A Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system prevents condensation & black mould. The PIV unit continuously introduces fresh air into the property. This creates air movement which removes excess moisture. This stops damp forming on your cold surfaces.
Older homes in Derbyshire often have limited insulation so a heated PIV unit is especially effective. They provide clean air circulation without causing cold draughts. These PIV units are designed to protect the property and the people living in it.
