AHU Servicing & Ventilation Balancing in Newton Aycliffe – Glow Venue Hire
Commercial AHU Servicing & Ventilation Maintenance Specialists
At Envirotech MS, we were recently called to carry out servicing and fault finding on two commercial air handling units (AHUs) at Glow Venue Hire after ongoing ventilation issues began affecting the operation of the building.
The venue had been experiencing airflow imbalance problems, with doors becoming difficult to open due to excessive negative air pressure within the building. Following a full inspection of the ventilation systems, it quickly became clear the AHUs and extract systems had not received proper servicing or maintenance for a considerable amount of time.
Diagnosing the AHU & Ventilation Problems
During our inspection, Envirotech MS engineers identified several issues affecting the performance of the commercial ventilation system:
- AHU supply and extract fans heavily contaminated with dirt and debris
- Incorrect fan rotation on the supply air systems
- Poor airflow performance throughout the building
- Ventilation imbalance between supply and extract systems
- Excessive negative pressure causing door operation issues
- General signs of long-term lack of maintenance
Incorrect fan rotation on commercial air handling units can dramatically reduce airflow efficiency and create major ventilation problems within a building. In this case, the extract systems were overpowering the supply air, creating uncomfortable pressure conditions throughout the venue.
Our AHU Service & Repair Solution
Our engineers carried out a comprehensive AHU service and ventilation system inspection to restore safe and efficient operation.
Works completed included:
Full AHU Servicing
- Cleaning fan sections and internal components
- Inspection of motors, bearings and fan assemblies
- Checking electrical connections and controls
- Inspecting airflow paths and ventilation performance
Ventilation Fault Finding
- Identifying incorrect fan rotation
- Correcting fan direction on the AHU systems
- Testing supply and extract airflow operation
- Assessing building pressure conditions
Ventilation Balancing Improvements
- Restoring correct airflow balance between supply and extract systems
- Improving overall air movement within the venue
- Reducing negative pressure issues affecting internal doors
Once the fan rotation and airflow issues were corrected, the systems immediately began operating more effectively, improving ventilation performance and overall building comfort.
Why Regular AHU Maintenance is Important
Commercial air handling units play a critical role in maintaining indoor air quality, ventilation performance and energy efficiency within commercial buildings.
Without regular AHU servicing and ventilation maintenance, systems can suffer from:
- Reduced airflow performance
- Increased energy consumption
- Poor indoor air quality
- Excessive wear on motors and fans
- Building pressure and ventilation imbalance issues
- Increased risk of breakdowns and costly repairs
Routine planned preventative maintenance (PPM) helps businesses avoid unexpected faults while improving the reliability and efficiency of commercial HVAC systems.
