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 reduce strain on your equipment, ensuring consistent performance and energy efficiency.
What maintenance tasks can I safely do myself?
There are several simple tasks you can perform between professional visits to keep your system running smoothly:
- Dust and vacuum external grilles and registers
- Clean or swap out washable filters on AC and ventilation units
- Check condensate drain-pipes for blockages and clear gently if needed
- Ensure vents and ducts are unobstructed and free of debris
Regularly performing these checks helps prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs, extends system life, and keeps your indoor air quality high.
What's included in a full MVHR service?
Our full MVHR service covers all critical components to ensure peak performance:
- Removal, inspection, and cleaning of the heat-exchanger core
- Replacement of both pre-filters and fine filters
- Sanitising accessible ductwork via service panels
- Flow-rate testing and balancing of supply and extract air
- Controls and sensor calibration, plus condensate trap inspection
