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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Rutland, from Oakham. The survey is free for new installations on the UK mainland, and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing.

What air handling units (AHU) involves
Replacing the fan section with EC fans, or the whole unit with a modern heat recovery AHU, can cut running costs and noise while restoring airflow. New units must meet current ecodesign rules for fan efficiency and heat recovery. Replacements often involve crane lifts, roof work and out-of-hours changeovers.
