Air handling units (AHU) in Leicestershire

An air handling unit (AHU) is the central plant that filters, moves and often heats, cools or recovers heat from the air for a building's ventilation system. We replace ageing units, upgrade fans and controls, and service AHUs so they keep delivering their design airflows.

We carry out air handling units (AHU) across Leicestershire, including Hinckley, Coalville, Wigston Magna, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough. Prices use East Midlands rates. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.
