Airflow testing measures how much air each fan or valve actually moves, using a calibrated flow hood, and records it against the required rates. It is how you prove a ventilation system works, and for new homes it is part of the building regulations.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Glasgow, from Glasgow. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we tell you the cost before booking.

What airflow testing and commissioning involves
Testing is also useful outside new builds: it shows landlords and homeowners whether existing fans meet the rates, and it is the first step in rebalancing an MVHR system that no longer feels right.
MEV and dMEV commissioning
Trickle and boost rates measured and set.
MVHR commissioning
Supply and extract at every valve measured and balanced.
Remedial advice
If a fan fails, we explain why and quote the fix.
