Ventilation systems require regular servicing to keep them clean and operating efficiently, helping protect residents from the harmful effects of damp and mould and so supporting landlords in meeting their new legal duties under Awaab’s Law. To help social housing providers, Airtech provides landlords with options to service both individual properties and entire housing stocks.

To comply with Awaab’s Law, landlords must ensure tenants are protected from hazards, such as damp and mould, and that any issues are investigated and dealt with promptly. Regular servicing helps prevent condensation, mould, and damp, keeps air flowing cleanly, efficiently, and effectively, helping maintain good IAQ. Other benefits include extended product life, lower running costs and quieter operation. Airtech offers ‘off the shelf’ or customised ventilation servicing packages for whole house ventilation systems such as Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) and Mechanical Ventilation (MEV), as well as unitary fans.

“Ventilation systems need a regular service – just like boilers. We’re urging landlords to make sure all the ventilation units in their housing stock have had a recent service to protect their tenants from the harmful effects of poor indoor air quality, damp and mould,” said Katie Mairs, channel marketing manager at Airtech. “Regular check-ups keep systems working properly, help avoid breakdowns and extend product life, saving money in the long run as well. Airtech is here to support landlords so that they comply with Awaab’s Law and keep their tenants safe.”
