Condensation vs Nuaire Drimaster
Discussion

Thanks again for replies. (hopefully) final questions for those who got it.
Where did you buy it from and roughly how much for the heated version l. It seems the there are many places selling it. Not sure if there is any thing such as an authorised seller for wanbanty etc?
Can it be wired in as a plug rather than hard wired in?
Silly question but I saw some mention of air feeling dryer. Without the heater how does this work as in if the humidity outside is 80_90% doesn't the PIV just bring that more moist air in the house (as far as I know humidity on house of 60 to 70% is sufficient to have condensation)...
Thanks
Isells or mould stop are good places to buy from, they actually don't stock the units themselves, the units come from nuaire. These sellers seem to be forwarding agents.Where did you buy it from and roughly how much for the heated version l. It seems the there are many places selling it.

As far as I know even the heated model can be fitted to a plug.
The loft air may be 80-90% humidity, but that's at 3c, once brought into the house its relative humidity changes.
So 80% at 5c may then be 50% at 18c, or something to that effect.

Hole in ceiling down to landing and wire up? Any considerations?
For quietest running, you'll want to hang the main fan unit from a rafter... but so long as you're happy about hacking a hole out of (in to?) the ceiling, that's really as complicated as it gets.CampoTheMexicana said:
We've got electric and power sockets in the loft already.
You're really good to go, then Very simple to fit, template in packaging, cut hole in ceiling. Hang unit from supplied cord and plug in.
Hours work which included cleaning up the plasterboard dust
Doors don't need to be kept open, I've found there is enough "vent space" around the door/doorframe it works just fine.
I'd strongly recommend, certainly sorted my issues

Good news if you can hang on a little while (week or two) I can get you a discount.
Should be about £50 cheaper than off Amazon.
Definitely - Mrs CM is getting annoyed at daily wiping the windows (both upstairs and downstairs) - so can definitely wait to get it cheaper Should be about £50 cheaper than off Amazon.

As I understand it, just to minimise noise transmission from the fan into the house - I guess if you just dumped it on a joist, you could find the ceiling picks up a resonance. Don't get me wrong, nothing is loud about it when hung (on 3, I think ours is)... you can just about hear it when you're on the landing and the house is silent.
Yep in minimises noise. Ours is on the chipboard floor and you can’t here itIf you are ever worried about noise from the fan as opposed to vibration. You can replace the flexible duct with semi rigid acoustic flex. It will basically eliminate all fan noise even at full power.
It’s going to be an option in the future, as is a carbon filter kit if you live in an area with heavy traffic.
