Expert Repairs & Maintenance
Professional servicing and repairs for all types of ventilation systems
How often should I clean or replace filters on my ventilation and MVHR systems?
We recommend inspecting and cleaning pre-filters monthly and replacing them every 3–6 months. Fine filters should be changed every 6–12 months depending on indoor air quality and system usage.
During high pollen or dust seasons, check filters more frequently to maintain optimal airflow and ensure consistent performance and energy efficiency.
What maintenance tasks can I safely do myself?
There are several simple tasks you can do between professional visits to keep your system running efficiently:
- Dust and vacuum external grilles and registers
- Clean or swap out washable filters
- Check condensate drain-pipes for blockages
- Ensure vents and ducts are unobstructed
These tasks help extend system life and prevent small issues from becoming major repairs.
What's included in a full MVHR service?
Our full MVHR service covers all critical components to ensure peak performance:
- Heat-exchanger core cleaning
- Filter replacement (pre and fine)
- Ductwork sanitisation via service panels
- Flow-rate testing and air balancing
- Sensor and controls calibration
You'll receive a detailed service report and assurance that your system is running optimally.
How do I know if my ventilation system needs professional servicing?
Warning signs include poor airflow, unusual odours, visible dirt in ducts, or increased energy bills. You may also notice increased humidity or condensation.
If your system hasn't been serviced in over a year, it's time to schedule a check-up. Regular servicing keeps performance high and air quality healthy.
