Fantastic video, I’ve been looking for months to solve this condensation problem, can’t thank you enough 👏🏽👏🏽
You're welcome, hope it works as well for you as it does for us
They really do work - I considered the heater version, but it’s really not necessary. Easy to install and our house just feels more comfortable.
I’d argue that they save you money - it’s cheaper to heat a dryer house.
Great to have you back. I was beginning to worry.
Thank you, it's good to be back. I've been busy working on other projects but I'm really trying to get back into RUclips
Great video. I have some questions please...
How frequently do the filters require changing?
Will it increase condensation in the loft area?
Will the loft require ventilating?
How is it affected opening windows in the home?
How much did it increase your electric bill?
Thank you
Been mulling over getting one of these, looks like I will getting one now.
I am in a bungalow so its pretty straightforward to get one fitted.
They are really worth it 👍🏼
Excellent video, and I'm glad this has resolved your issue. We were experiencing similar a few years back, but luckily, a dehumidifier solved it for us. We bought a Pro Breeze unit and placed it in the cooler part of the house. As you mentioned, keeping to a consistent temperature is also key to this.
Thanks again for the video and great channel too.
The dehumidifier just wasn't enough for us. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I have one of these for a few years. Great, especially for old houses especially.
Good to hear!
👍👍👍 Great review. Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks for the video. Can this be wired up with the lighting mains circuit and a fused spur?
Great video m8 well done, hope it works ok
Thank you 👍🏼
We have condensation problems in the loft, could this be fitted in the loft without the vent part in the ceiling perhaps?
Great video. Thanks! How often does the filter need replacing and at what cost?
Not sure about the filter but I suppose it depends how dusty the loft space is
I can see how one would be good for rooms immediately under the loft space, but wouldn't be able to fit where the room affected by mould/condensation has a habitable room above.
Good to see you back mate. Have you noticed any increase in heating costs due to the cooler air being pumped in? Ive been considering one of these, the idea of continuous fresh air is appealing.
I have one installed come the winter your bills will jump quite abit makes my house really cold
@@chrish3682 how about fitting a solar panel for powering the fan? that might work and pay for the extra electricity used and would be free energy.
Thanks it's good to be back.
The air is heated as it's pumped in but people have said even without the heat option on they haven't noticed any difference
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy cheers mate, that's good to hear.
@@THEGSADVENTURER we already have solar panels on the roof as it is so they're offsetting our costs a little bit.
Have you noticed a drop in temperature. How ofter do the filters need changed as roofspace a arw very dusty
No drop in temperature as the air is heated as it's pumped in.
Not sure about filters yet but I suppose it will depend on how dusty the loft space is.
Any issues with loft smells? Mines a 1930s house too but roof tile direct on Batten (no felt) so I gets a bit musty in winter.
We haven't noticed any smells but our loft is fairly clean with a new roof
We’ve had ours in for just over 5 months (Jan ‘24) the first month or so you can definitely smell the loft but it isn’t overwhelming. It has died down now and only the odd occasion you notice a smell and even then it’s only right under the unit.
Does this one blow cold air in the the landing or have 400Watt heater built-in that costs more than a few pence per day?
He says in the video around 1:35 about this.
It's got a heater
One of Europe's best cities to visit. Public transport is also excellent.
We installed a PIV (same make) 5 years ago. Hasn’t made any discernible difference yet. Sadly.
What they don't tell you is they don't suit every home, there are a set of conditions or criteria these units are suitable for which this video does not cover. A great video but it can only show you the positives in a house where it appears to work well but some people I know have installed them and they don't work so great.
