PIV and extraction installations

Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system is a whole-house ventilation unit used to eliminate indoor condensation, prevent mold growth, and improve air quality.

​

How PIV Systems Work

​

  • Fresh air intake: A quiet, low-energy electric fan (usually mounted in the loft or an exterior wall) draws in fresh air from outside or the roof space. 

  • Filtration: The air passes through built-in filters to remove pollen, dust, and outdoor pollutants. 

  • Gentle pressurization: The filtered air continuously trickles into the central hallway or living spaces through a ceiling diffuser, creating a slight positive pressure inside the home.

  • Stale air displacement: This constant, gentle pressure forces humid, stale, and polluted air out through natural gaps, cracks, and leakage points (like window vents or under doors) before it can settle as condensation. 

​

Main Benefits

​

  • Cures condensation: Stops water droplets from forming on windows and cold walls.

  • Prevents black mold: Removes the damp environment that mold and dust mites need to grow.

  • Improves health: Dilutes indoor pollutants, carbon dioxide, and allergens, which benefits allergy and asthma sufferers.

  • Energy efficient: Standard units use very little electricity (typically consuming between 5 to 10 watts of power). Heated models are also available with built-in temper heaters for colder months.

​

Electrical Installation Steps

​

  • Power supply: Units typically connect via a fused spur or a 3-amp plug in the loft space.

  • Wiring safety: Isolate the mains supply before starting any electrical work.

  • Ceiling diffuser: Cut a precise hole in the plasterboard ceiling, avoiding joists and hidden cables, to mount the central distribution vent.

  • Unit mounting: Suspend the main body securely from the roof rafters using hanging kits or straps to reduce vibration noise. 

​

Extraction fans

 

INCR are trained in Installing various extraction fans directly in wet zones like kitchens and bathrooms which help to remove steam and odors at the source.

​

​

Heating systems

INCR can install Residential electrical heating systems, 
offering an alternative to traditional gas or oil boilers. 

​

Main Types of Electric Heating

​

  • Electric Radiators: Modular, standalone units (such as ceramic-core or oil-filled models) that provide individual room control and retain heat well after turning off.

  • Storage Heaters: Units that draw power during cheaper, off-peak night hours and release warmth slowly throughout the next day. 

  • Electric Boilers: Central systems that heat water to circulate through standard wall radiators or underfloor pipes. 

  • Infrared & Panel Heaters: Slimline or wall-mounted units that provide rapid, direct radiant or convective warmth to specific areas or poorly insulated spots. 

​

​

Electrical inspection & testing

INCR carry out residential electrical inspection and testing process—commonly known in the UK as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)—is a detailed safety check of your home's fixed wiring, socket-outlets, light fittings, and fuse box by a qualified electrician.

What the Inspection Involves

​

  • Visual Inspection: The electrician checks for cracked sockets, burn marks, outdated fuse boards, and missing enclosure covers.

  • Circuit Testing: They use specialized tools to test continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, and earth fault loop impedance to find hidden damage or shock risks.

  • The Report: You receive a certificate marked "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory," along with classification codes (C1, C2, C3) for any faults found. 

​

Typically takes between 2 to 4 hours for a small flat, and up to a half or full day for larger properties.

​

Homeowners are also advised to test every 10 years (or 5 years if changing occupancy).

​

Electric shower installation

We are qualified to install electric showers. Electric showers use high-powered electricity and water, the installer must be Part P-qualified and registered with a scheme like NICEIC or NAPIT, we have this covered.

​

Requirements
A new installation needs a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, correct cable size, and 30 mA RCD protection.

 

Installation
We can do like-for-like replacement or a brand-new installation

​

Fault finding

This is a  step-by-step process of locating and fixing hidden problems in a power system, such as a tripped breaker or a dead socket.

​

Process
 

Safety and Preparation

​

  • Safe isolation: Turn off the power and lock out the breaker before you touch any wires.

  • Prove dead: Use a two-pole voltage detector to confirm there is no live current.

  • Unplug appliances: Disconnect portable devices to stop them from masking the true problem. 

 

Visual Check

​

  • Look for damage: Check for melted plastic, burn marks, or loose wires.

  • Use your senses: Smell for burning plastic or look for water stains near switches and sockets.

​

Testing and Isolating

​

  • Half-split method: Open a socket or junction box near the middle of the circuit to split it into two halves.

  • Test continuity: Use a multimeter on the dead circuit to check the resistance and find where the broken path or short is located.

  • Narrow it down: Move along the wire to test smaller sections until you find the exact spot causing the fault. 

  • What specific symptom are you seeing (e.g., a tripping RCD, a dead outlet, burning smell)?

  • Is it on a ring or radial circuit?

​

Full/partial re-wires

Electrical rewiring replaces old, worn-out wires and fuse boxes in a building with new, safe parts. Your house may need a total re-wire or partial re-wire.

​

Signs you may need a Re-wire
 

  • Frequently tripping fuse box or RCDs

  • Buzzing or crackling sounds from outlets

  • Burning smells or hot plug sockets

  • Flickering lights

  • Wiring older than 25 to 30 year

​

First Fix

We will run new cables through walls, under floors, and install back boxes for sockets.

​

Interim Work 

Plastering, repairing holes, and redecorating happen while the power is off.

 

Second Fix

Switches, light fixtures, and the new consumer unit are fitted, tested, and certified live.
