Benefits of MVHR Servicing and Maintenance regularly

Lack of MVHR Servicing & Maintenance

MVHR systems are energy-saving and lead to inside air quality benefits, However some MVHR systems can sometimes get a bad reputation.

A lack of servicing, maintenance, and its requirements can contribute to this among other factors:

Poor and incorrect installation
Lack of understanding and knowledge from the tenants/homeowners on how an MVHR system operates.
The system has not been commissioned correctly in line with Part F regulations, or by a BPEC certified engineer
Valves have been removed, changed, obstructed by furniture, or concealed by retrofitted PVC ceilings.

A fully qualified BPEC qualified engineer in Brookvent will identify and rectify issues that appear.

Common signs that your ventilation system might need a service:

The most common signs that your ventilation system might need a service:

It has become increasingly noisy. Debris built up results in the unit working harder, so this may show as a motor or a PCB issue.

The unit is making no sound at all. E.g, A clogged system, an issue with ducting, motors, or sensors, or the unit has tripped at the consumer board.

The unit doesn’t seem to be clearing steam as quickly, or not at all. So If you notice that the steam in your bathroom isn’t clearing, this could lead to condensation and mould issues. Indicate a motor/ ducting sensor problem, or that the unit was not commissioned correctly to achieve the correct extraction rates.

The household feels humid and stuffy. For instance, an average family home can create 24 pints of water a day.

Site Survey and Analysis

Firstly, for each property privately owned, or part of a larger housing scheme, Brookvent will provide a detailed site survey. The survey documents include everything from the date of service, make, model, and a serial number of your MVHR unit, a best practice installation check, a ductwork and insulation check, drainage connection check, an airflow rate check, and rebalance/re-commissioning if necessary as well as any recommendations for repairs or improvements and filter change.

In addition, Brookvent will contact the manufacturer of your unit, to check its warranty status and organise any replacement parts. For more information about compliance and commissioning see here!

Upon completion of your service, our engineers will take you through the works they have completed and discuss with you the best practice use of your system, provide each customer with an information leaflet outlining the functions, benefits, and faqs of the system because we want to give consumers knowledge about their ventilation system.

Moreover, it provides our customers with a full-service record, and helps Housing Associations and Property Management agents keep track of the servicing and maintenance of their MVHR assets.

At Brookvent we don’t stop at MVHR service and maintenance. In conclusion, as Northern Ireland’s largest manufacturer of ventilation, we maintain and service all types of ventilation strategies regardless of manufacturer.
