Why service, and not just repair

Why service, and not just repair

A system that is never opened does not fail all at once: it fouls up, uses more energy and ventilates less, with nothing to warn you.

  • Healthier air

    Clean unit and exchanger: fresh air comes in clean, stale air is really extracted.

  • Less damp and mould

    Airflow brought back to its original value removes shower and kitchen steam before it settles.

  • Normal consumption

    A motor pushing air through a fouled unit works harder for less. A service gives it back its efficiency.

  • Equipment that lasts

    Bearings, exchanger, burner: what wears first is what we check at every visit, before it fails.

What people ask us most

Is the quote really free?

Yes. Producing a quote from your description costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. For a building or a complex installation, a survey visit is needed before pricing: we tell you in advance whether that visit is free or chargeable, and on what terms it is deducted from the work.

How often should ventilation be serviced?

Manufacturers generally recommend a filter check every 3 to 6 months and a full service once a year. The real interval depends on your surroundings: a busy road, pets, recent building works and an open-plan kitchen all speed up fouling considerably.

Is ventilation servicing mandatory in Belgium?

No. Unlike periodic boiler inspection, servicing residential ventilation is not required by regulation. That does not make it optional technically: an unserviced system loses airflow gradually without giving any signal.

How quickly do you reply?

We handle form enquiries within 24 working hours. Enquiries arriving at the weekend or on a public holiday are handled on the next working day. For a breakdown or a complete loss of ventilation, the phone is faster.

What does a visit actually involve?

A time slot confirmed in advance, floor protection, measuring equipment. You have nothing to prepare beyond clearing access to the unit and the valves. At the end, we go through what was done and what to keep an eye on.

Ready for healthier air at home?

Book a slot online, or call us. The price is known before, the report comes after.

  • The technician lets you know half an hour before arriving, then calls in with the equipment.
  • A room-by-room survey of the system before any work.
  • Cleaning, adjustments, and the options you chose.
  • Final check, then we send you the service report, with measured airflow if you took the option.

Would you rather have a quote first?

Unusual installation, several properties, or you simply want to talk it through: describe your situation and we will come back within 24 working hours.

  • We read your enquiry and come back to you within 24 working hours.
  • If the information is sufficient, you receive a written estimate.
  • If the installation is complex, or it is a whole building, we propose a survey visit before pricing.
  • Nothing is committed until you approve the quote.
