PROAIR SERVICE
Why Service Matters
MVHR systems are designed to run 24/7 for the entire lifespan of the unit. With proper care and maintenance, the units should have a very long lifespan. Some of the original ProAir units installed are still running in the homes of happy customers.
Service Schedule
All ProAir Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems should be serviced approximately every 3 years. This service involves cleaning the interior of the unit and heat exchanger, changing of the filters, as well as re-balancing of the system to ensure it is delivering the right amount of fresh air to your home, with any software upgrades also included.
Warranty Coverage
ProAir offers a standard 3‑year warranty on all of our systems starting from the day of commissioning. It includes parts and labour for the first 2 years. The remaining 1 year covers parts only; this does not include filters.
Replacement filters should be purchased after year one and can be ordered from the ProAir shop or by calling 091 739 442. The warranty is conditional on planned maintenance being undertaken as mentioned.
Maintenance Between Services
Maintenance between services is quite simple and straightforward for the homeowner. Filters should be checked every 6 months or so and replaced at least annually.
The frequency of the change depends on usage and location. If dust is excessive at the six‑month check, the filter can be tapped on a solid surface or lightly vacuumed. These actions are not recommended on a continuous basis. The seals attaching the media to the cardboard may be broken, which could allow dust to bypass the filter.
Keeping filters changed annually will ensure that the air moves as freely as possible and that there will be minimal pressure on the fans, leading to longer lifespans. This will also allow your system to operate at its optimum efficiency and guarantee the cleanest possible air is being supplied to you home.
