Air Handing Unit Inspection Specialist

Without regular air handling unit or ductwork cleaning, air will pass through the polluted duct carrying bacteria onto or around the supply areas. Comprehensive duct cleaning and cleanliness surveys also highlight the conditions of the ducting and help to manage any necessary repairs that could go unnoticed.

As part of our AHU cleaning process, Astroworx also specialise in coil cleaning, this is an area of care within ventilation systems. The coil is in the air flow path on all ventilation system; therefore, it has a direct effect on the rate of air flow, efficiency of heat transfer and indoor air quality.

Blockages in the coil decrease the amount of air passing through the system. Fouled coils lead to increased pressure drop across them. Increased pressure drops increases fan horsepower requirements, which in turn raw more power, increasing current consumption resulting in higher energy costs.

Air Handling units serve an essential purpose within an HVAC system with all the circulated air passing through the sensitive fins and coils. Over time airborne pollutants can erode and contaminate these highly sensitive units reducing their efficiency and leading to expensive repairs if poorly maintained. As all air from the entire ductwork ventilation system passes through an AHU these ‘pinch points’ in the system collect all debris and particles and can contaminate the entire ventilation system with harmful pollutants and debris.
