How we approach MVHR servicing in Highbury
Over a year or two the filters clog, the fans work harder, airflow at the valves drops and the house slowly goes back to condensation and stale air. It is common for a system to go years without a filter change after the builder hands over.
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.

Why has my MVHR system gone noisy?
Noise usually comes from clogged filters making the fans work harder, a fan bearing wearing out, or valves that have been closed down. A service and rebalance fixes most cases.

Someone needs to let us in and be there when we measure the valves, which means visiting every room. A service usually takes one to two hours.
