AHU Maintenance
and Repair

Air Handling Unit Maintenance and Repair is a sustainable and reliable solution.

AHU Maintenance & Repair

An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is an essential piece of equipment in any HVAC system, and plays a critical role in regulating air quality, temperature, and humidity. However, as time goes by, the AHU may start to wear out and require repairs or maintenance. In such cases, it's important to consider all options before making a decision. One of the most cost-effective options is to refurbish the existing AHU rather than replace it entirely.
On average, the cost of refurbishing an AHU is approximately 25-35% as much as a new unit. This can be a significant cost saving, especially for businesses or organisations that operate on a tight budget. Additionally, when done properly, reconditioning can add 15-plus years of life to your existing AHU. This means that instead of having to replace the entire unit every few years, you can extend its life and get more value out of your investment.


AHU Installation time reduced through repair and refurbishment on site.

Another benefit of refurbishing an AHU is the time savings. Our experience in air handling Unit refurbishment cuts costs while shaving weeks (even months) off replacements. This means that instead of having to shut down operations for an extended period of time to replace the entire unit, you can get back up and running quickly with minimal disruption.
In addition to cost and time savings, refurbishing an AHU can also help to improve air quality. During the refurbishing process, our experts will inspect and repair or replace any worn components, ensuring that the AHU is working at peak performance. This can help to improve indoor air quality, which is especially important for businesses or organisations that rely on clean air to protect the health and safety of their employees or customers.

Compelling reasons to choose refurbishment and repair over AHU replacement

• AHU replacement is expensive.
• AHU replacement is time-consuming.
• AHU replacement is disruptive.
• AHU replacement may not always be possible because of space constraints, aesthetics and other factors.


The cost and disruption of a complete changeover to an entirely new system can be prohibitive, both in terms of finances and the workforce it would require to complete the job in a reasonable timeframe – especially if you want to keep your current building at full capacity while work is carried out on your air-conditioning infrastructure.* While there are many benefits to replacing an existing air handling unit with a new one (or at least having some parts replaced), there are also some downsides that should be considered carefully before making any final decisions about this project.

To summarise, here are some key points:

• Heat can be recovered from both cold supply air and return air streams
