Kair Kalahari – KWH150-ECO-HEAT-HCS PIV Whole House Ventilation Unit with Heater
Kair Kalahari PIV Unit
The Kair Kalahari loft controlled Positive Input ventilation or “PIV” unit, makes condensation and mould build-up a problem of the past.
A single loft installed unit can quickly and effectively rid an entire home of excess humidity whilst simultaneously drawing in fresh air that has passed through high-grade G4 filters.
Perfect for new build properties!
New build properties are built with energy-saving and heat retention in mind and are built with as few gaps as possible to decrease heat loss, however, this negatively impacts the properties’ ability to “breathe”, which means the property has little to no fresh air passing through it as older buildings do.
Whilst excellent for saving on heating bills, a lack of fresh air means stale, warm and moisture-laden air builds up in your home and will settle on colder parts of the building, such as window frames and some walls.
This is the perfect breeding ground for mould to grow, which is why mould growth has become a much bigger problem in new builds. Exposure to mould spores over time can lead to respiratory illnesses, so eliminating mould and condensation from your property is a must!
Integrated 400w Heater
This heating component will temper the air which is distributed through the property via the ceiling diffuser, thus ensuring a comfortable living environment. This pioneering design sees the low watt heater (400w) react efficiently and effectively, guaranteeing an economically friendly product.
A temperature sensor on the outside of the unit monitors and controls the heater output to maintain the set point. The set point ranges from 5° to 15° and can be adjusted from the ceiling diffuser. If the temperature at the heater outlet is above the set point, the heater will not activate.

No need to open windows
The most common solution to condensation in new-build properties is to open the windows, this, of course, lets out a great deal of heat, increasing your central heating bills. A PIV unit such as the Kalahari gently increases the pressure from the roof down, which forces air out of any very small holes that cannot be prevented (such as gaps between doors etc.
This supplies fresh air to every room of the house whilst forcing out the moisture-laden air out of the property without the need to open any windows. This retains the heat you have paid for and increases the comfort of your home.

Low noise and easy installation
The low noise of a functioning Kalahari unit becomes almost imperceivable when mounted within a loft cavity. The ability to hang the unit from a roof beam removes the possibility of vibrations being heard through the beams, creating a high-powered PIV unit that remains incredibly quiet.
Low running costs
You may be concerned that running a unit 24 hours a day will incur large running fees, however, the unit only costs between 5-10p per day to run (depending on your supplier). When compared to the costs of less efficient extractor fans, this is a very small amount.
Why choose the Kair Kalahari?
