FAQs
Why is indoor air quality (IAQ) especially important for homes and businesses in Bristol?
Bristol’s mix of historic buildings, busy traffic corridors, and damp maritime climate can all contribute to elevated indoor pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, mould spores, and allergens. Good IAQ solutions reduce respiratory issues, limit mould growth, and improve overall comfort and energy efficiency in properties across the city.
What types of ventilation systems do you install to improve IAQ?
We design and install a range of systems, including Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) for whole-house solutions, Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) for retrofit applications, and demand-controlled extract ventilation for kitchens and bathrooms. Each system is specified to meet current Building Regulations Part F and Part L, ensuring optimal airflow, filtration, and energy performance.
Can your air-conditioning units also purify the air?
Yes. Many of our high-efficiency heat-pump air conditioners come with advanced multi-stage filtration that captures dust, pollen, and bacteria, as well as optional plasma or UV-C modules that neutralise viruses and odours. This means you can cool or heat your space while continuously filtering the indoor air.
How do you test the existing air quality before recommending a solution?
Our engineers carry out a full IAQ assessment that may include real-time monitoring of CO₂, VOCs, humidity, and particulate levels. We also perform duct inspection, airflow measurements, and thermal imaging where required. The data helps us tailor a ventilation or filtration package that addresses the specific issues found in your property.
Are your IAQ solutions energy-efficient and compliant with local regulations?
Absolutely. All equipment is selected for high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) and low specific fan power. Systems are installed in line with the latest Building Regulations, the Clean Air Strategy, and, where applicable, Bristol City Council sustainability guidelines. We also advise on potential funding or incentives for energy-efficient upgrades.
How often should IAQ equipment be serviced to maintain performance?
Mechanical ventilation units typically need filter changes every 6–12 months and a full service annually. Air-conditioning systems should receive a maintenance check at least once a year to clean coils, check refrigerant pressures, and replace or wash filters. Regular servicing ensures consistent air quality, prolongs equipment life, and keeps running costs low.
