How we do it
It is common for a system to go years without a filter change after the builder hands over. A service puts that right. We work on most makes of MVHR unit and can supply filters for future changes, so you can do the in-between swaps yourself if you would rather.
Fault finding
Noisy fans, error codes, condensate leaks and boost controls that stopped working.
Annual service
Filters, exchanger and fan clean, drain check, controls and boost checked, airflow spot-checked at the valves.
Rebalance and recommission
Every valve measured and set again to the design rates, with a new commissioning sheet. Useful after building work or if rooms feel stuffy.
