Positive input ventilation unit nuaire - do you have one?

Looking at getting one of these systems installed following a damp surveyors advice. I'm just overwhelmed by the choices. If you have one of these do you have the boost controls on the wall? And if you don't have the control can you boost it on the ceiling unit? It's hard to tell from the photos what buttons are on the ceiling part.

Any reviews would be fab!

Thanks

Sorry I’ve no direct experience of these, but do have hvac units installed in my house to remove damp. I’m interested in whether a piv would perform better than a whole house hvac, have you considered one of these? I think they might be better for energy efficiency as they’re extracting the heat from the outgoing air, rather than just pushing cold air in.

Hopefully someone with more experience will be along soon!

I do. It’s really good. I never boost it, it just lives in the loft doing its thing all the time. It made a huge difference to the house and now we don’t have a problem with damp at all.

I think we have one, is it the thing that lives in the attic and sucks air in and the blows it out through the rest of the house, if it is the yes we have one had it for years it works really well, my neighbours and sister got one after us and all are pleased with it.
