Your ventilation system is key to maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, whether at home or in the workplace. By improving air quality and preventing issues such as condensation and mould, it’s vital to keep your system running at its best through regular maintenance. Just like any other essential system in your home, your MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) unit requires periodic servicing to ensure optimal efficiency and continued delivery of clean, fresh air. Regular maintenance also helps avoid unexpected, costly repairs.
Why Regular Servicing is Crucial
Over time, your MVHR system can accumulate dust, debris, and grease – not just in the filters, but throughout the entire unit. Cleaning and maintaining filters and other components every 3 to 6 months, according to manufacturer guidelines, is essential to ensuring your system continues to perform at its peak.
What’s Included in an MVHR Service?
Regular servicing ensures that all components of your MVHR system are working as they should. A neglected system will have to work harder, lowering energy efficiency and undermining its performance. We recommend an annual service to keep your unit clean and efficient.
During your annual service, our technician will:
- Inspect the motors, heat exchanger, condensation drain, and duct connections.
- Perform a deep clean and sanitisation of the motor, heat exchanger, and internal components.
- Replace the filters (we only use OEM filters) See Why.
- Unblock condensate drains to prevent damage and bacterial growth.
Duct Cleaning
Over time, the ductwork in your MVHR system can accumulate dust, dirt, and other contaminants, which can reduce airflow and affect the overall efficiency of your ventilation system. Blocked or dirty ducts force the system to work harder, leading to increased energy consumption and potentially higher utility bills. More critically, a build-up of debris in the ducts can diminish the quality of the air being circulated throughout your home, which may exacerbate allergies, respiratory issues, and other health concerns. Regular duct cleaning ensures that your system operates efficiently and continues to provide clean, healthy air for your indoor environment.
In addition to improving air quality and system performance, regular duct cleaning can also extend the lifespan of your MVHR system. When ducts are clean, there is less strain on the motor and other key components, reducing the risk of breakdowns and expensive repairs. Properly maintained ductwork helps prevent issues like mould growth, which can thrive in damp, dirty ducts, and keeps the system free from unpleasant odours. By investing in regular duct cleaning, you safeguard not only the efficiency of your ventilation system but also the comfort and health of those living or working in your space.
