MVHR servicing for Aston homes

It is common for a system to go years without a filter change after the builder hands over. A service puts that right.

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.

Do you cover Aston and nearby?

Yes. We cover Aston and nearby places including Hockley, Birmingham, Washwood Heath and Smethwick. Send your postcode and we will confirm.

Do I need to be at home for the service?

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.

My new build MVHR has never been serviced. Is that a problem?

It is very common and usually fixable. Builders often hand over without explaining filter changes, so the first service often finds filters that are badly blocked. We clean everything and reset the airflows.
