How It Works
About AHU Condition Reports
Our AHU Reports provide a detailed assessment of your air handling units' performance, efficiency, and compliance status, compiling information from ventilation reports, air balancing data, and wider HVAC testing. Our experts conduct thorough inspections of all air handling unit components including fans, filters, cooling coils, heating elements, and controls.
We analyse HVAC energy consumption, air quality impact, and AHU maintenance requirements, delivering actionable insights on whether to refurbish, replace, or optimise your existing systems. Additionally, our AHU Condition Report service includes an air balancing inspection report, letting you know the exact real-world performance of your AHU.
Each report includes clear recommendations with cost-benefit analyses to support your building management strategy. Service Benefits Data-driven maintenance planning Identify efficiency opportunities Regulatory compliance verification Optimised capital expenditure

AHU Condition Reports FAQs
What does an AHU Condition Report include? ↓
Our HVAC reports and AHU reports include component-by-component assessment of condition and performance, energy efficiency analysis, indoor air quality impact evaluation, compliance status with current regulations, and prioritised recommendations with estimated costs and potential savings.
How long does the AHU assessment process take? ↓
Typical Air Handling Unit assessments can be completed in 1-2 days depending on the number and complexity of units. We aim to minimise disruption by scheduling assessments during suitable operational windows, with AHU reports delivered within 5 working days of completion.
How often should AHU condition be assessed? ↓
We recommend comprehensive Air Handling Unit assessments every 2-3 years for most facilities, with more frequent reviews for critical environments like healthcare or where equipment is approaching end-of-life. Regular AHU assessments and reports help prevent unexpected failures and optimise maintenance budgets.
Can you assess Air Handling Units in operational buildings? ↓
Yes, our AHU assessment methodology is designed to work with minimal disruption to building operations. For most ventilation system assessments, we can maintain normal system function while gathering the necessary data through strategic access points and temporary monitoring equipment.
How do AHU condition and ventilation reports help with compliance? ↓
Our AHU condition reports specifically address compliance with current standards including BS 40102 for indoor environmental quality, Part F ventilation requirements, and CIBSE guidance. We highlight any areas of the ventilation system requiring attention and provide documentation suitable for regulatory inspections and certification processes.
