## Overview

The Nuaire Drimaster DRI-ECO-HEAT-HCS is a loft-mounted Positive Input Ventilation unit featuring a 400W integral heater and 6-speed fan control. Designed to continuously introduce fresh, filtered air into your home, it reduces condensation and improves indoor air quality while optimizing energy use with an auto standby mode during warmer months. Ideal for modern homes, it’s easy to install and helps maintain a comfortable, healthier environment year-round.

## Description

The DRI-ECO-HEAT-HCS is part of the Drimaster-eco range of Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units and has a unique 400W heater element positioned behind the diffuser for optimum performance. The unit is suitable for all properties with a loft space and has a one power supply for ease of installation. With an integral heater sited behind the diffuser this element allows for the airflow to be tempered when entering the property. The DRI-ECO-HEAT-HCS provides whole home ventilation using the Positive Input Ventilation principle. Essentially the concept is to introduce fresh, filtered air into the dwelling at a continuous rate, encouraging movement of air from inside to outside. To achieve this, the unit is mounted in the loft space, drawing air through the filters and inputting it, at ceiling level, into the property. An integrated heater tempers airflow should the temperature in the loft space drop below a set point, ensuring ultimate comfort in the home.

Review: Wonderful item - Easy enough to fit from a fairly incompetent NON DIYer. - Good price! Working well a year on. Easy enough to fit but take your time. Use a plasterboard saw for the cut. If you don't have one, buy one as you'll want the cut to be accurate as possible - not too big or you're stuffed ( cardboard template included) The job is 'basically' a hole in the ceiling with a big pipe attached and a fan hanging off the beams. It's doable by anyone, but you need to be motivated to do it and take your time. Have a friend help you locate a good spot on the landing (check for electrics first in loft) then identify a safe drill location by tapping the ceiling (check and double check) and then put a single hole in ceiling. If you're missing beams and have clear cut area, there's your centre hole. I installed this to prevent mould / mustyness. Also we had soaking windows in the morning. It's not a miracle cure to this, I would say it's reduced it to 70-75% but this is a massive improvement if you've got a house that suffers from condensation. We also run a couple of eco air dehumidifiers which do still remove some water from the air. 3 bed- 2 kids. This in itself makes your house smell less stagnant on those damp mornings/ evenings. Nothing nasty but 'you know your own house' and sometimes it can feel a bit 'humid and close' and you end up opening windows to let some fresh air in...This item will give you the sensation that there's always fresh air incoming and less urge to need to vent the house. It's like having a window open all the time allowing fresh air, but without losing heat out your windows. It will help you hear your home too, in winter as the less humid the air is the warmer the home. It CAN be cold in winter on our landing and the heater element just takes the edge off the air, it still feels cold though. But quite frankly, I will tolerate this any day compared to absolutely soaking windows - moulding blinds - fusty smells - walls moulding behind furniture. It's 100% worth doing and if you have any issues I've mentioned, buy one.
Review: Great product for modern double glazed houses - provides filtered air and reduces condensation - Installed it myself in a couple of hours and running it off a 3 amp plug controlled by a wireless plug socket. It is showing 8/9 watts when running on speed 4. The heater hasn’t kicked in yet so cooler air will be expelled, upstairs should be cooler for sleeping and will keep the warmer air downstairs so family may find it cooler than usual upstairs. Heater will be expensive to run through a cold winter unless you can run it off cheap rate as will be around 10kW if on 24/7 so that’s around £3/day at the current price cap but it does provide some heat and not likely to be on all the time. The heater can be set between 5c-15c so has to be pretty cold outside to be 5c in the loft. I will monitor over winter to see actual running costs with heater set at 10c. Well insulated 4 bed detached and currently 12c outside and 19.2c on landing below the fan and 20c in the living room so seems to keep the warmer air downstairs, heating hasn’t been on but made a roast dinner so oven on for a while Min temp was 17.9c this morning on the landing (12.5c outside and 18.8c downstairs) and recommended temp for good sleep is around 18c so ideal and usually have bedroom doors shut at night so will prevent and cold draughts. Seems a good investment and did have some slight mould spots in bathroom ceiling and around bedroom windows so will monitor and leave on 24/7, only been installed 2 days and might try fan speed 3 to reduce amount of cool air if it gets colder outside. Overall a simple solution and think it works well with modern houses that can suffer with not much air flow and the filter should help with hay fever next year.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the unit be beneficial if the loft itself has high relative humidity? (measured 85% RH at 8 degrees C )**
A: I am not really qualified to answer your question. But as I understand the benefits of this unit, is that it`s all about ventilation, movement of air, creating a positive pressure forcing air out of the natural gaps around doors,windows and vents, replacing with fresh air from the roof space. Although you have a higher humidity in the loft you should still benefit from the circulation of air around the property

**Q: Does this have a remote control, not mobile enough to climb a ladder?**
A: No remote control but just get a switch fitted by an electrician somewhere convenient that you can switch off/on when you choose too, but Nuaire recommend leaving on all year, I don't leave on in the summer months but retrieves cool air during the night when really hot.

**Q: What position should the heater adjustment pot on the control panel normally be set to for most economical running? Many thanks.**
A: I think the default was 12 deg but changed mine to 8 deg but if the weather is really cold you do notice the air blowing into the house. Mostly it depends on where the unit is placed in the loft (mine above hot water tank so any heat rising into the loft is recycled) plus your lagging but I would try at default and see how often the heater kicks in and change later. Hope this helps!

**Q: When bolted to the rafters, it there much vibration or fan noise?**
A: Mine is right outside and above 2 off my bedrooms and we hear no noise at all from it. And it doesn’t get bolted to rafters. It is suspended by string from them so technically it won’t vibrate against them at all. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic bit of kit
*by D***R on 27 December 2025*

Absolutely fantastic, it has cleared up any condensation we used to get on the inside of the windows. We used to use the one without the heater on, but this one with the heater on is fantastic for you to keep your household at the perfect temperature. I highly recommend this unit it’s very good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
