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.
We carry out airflow testing and commissioning across Mid Glamorgan, including Aberdare, Maesteg, Rhondda, Tonypandy and Bridgend. Prices use Wales rates. 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.
Extract fan tests
Each fan measured and compared with the Part F rate for the room.
MEV and dMEV commissioning
Trickle and boost rates measured and set.
MVHR commissioning
Supply and extract at every valve measured and balanced.
