Commercial Ventilation Repairs in Yorkshire: Essential Winter Upkeep

Date Posted: 11th March 2025

As winter gives way to longer days and the first signs of spring, commercial properties must ensure their ventilation systems are in top condition. Cold weather puts additional strain on ventilation systems, making timely servicing and repairs essential for maintaining a safe and efficient workplace. At ATS-MEP, we provide expert commercial ventilation services for businesses in Yorkshire and beyond, helping businesses prepare their systems for the change in seasons.

Why Winter Impacts Commercial Ventilation Systems

Winter brings cold temperatures, damp conditions, and changing indoor heating demands. These factors can create multiple issues for commercial ventilation systems:

Increased Condensation & Damp
Cold external air meeting warm interior air can cause moisture buildup, leading to damp-related damage and mould growth.

Blocked or Dirty Ductwork
Dust, debris, and pollutants accumulate more during winter, reducing air quality and ventilation efficiency.

Strain on Mechanical Components
Fans, filters, and motors work harder in colder months, increasing wear and the risk of breakdowns.

Without regular ventilation servicing and repairs, businesses may face poor air quality, rising energy costs, and potential regulatory compliance issues.

Key Winter Ventilation Repairs & Maintenance Tasks

To keep your ventilation system performing efficiently, consider the following essential servicing and repair tasks before spring arrives:

Duct Cleaning & Airflow Optimisation
Over winter, dust and pollutants accumulate in ductwork, reducing air circulation and impacting indoor air quality. Professional duct cleaning ensures a fresh and healthy workspace by reducing allergens and improving airflow.

Filter Replacements
Blocked or clogged filters make ventilation systems work harder, increasing energy consumption. Replacing filters enhances air quality and extends the lifespan of your system.

Mechanical Ventilation Inspections
Fans, motors, and dampers experience significant strain during winter. A professional inspection identifies worn-out components before they cause a breakdown.

Heat Recovery System Servicing
Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) systems help businesses reduce heating costs by recycling warm air. A mid-winter service ensures these systems remain energy-efficient and effective as temperatures change.

Regulatory Compliance Checks
Regulations such as Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulation 6 mandate sufficient ventilation in commercial spaces. At ATS-MEP, we make sure your system meets all requirements, helping you maintain a safe and legally compliant environment.

Benefits of Preventative Ventilation Maintenance

Proactively servicing your ventilation system before spring arrives offers a number of advantages:

Improved Indoor Air Quality
Ensures a healthy workspace by removing airborne pollutants and allergens.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Reduces running costs by maintaining system performance and preventing overuse of heating and cooling.

Longer Equipment Lifespan
Routine maintenance minimises wear and tear, reducing the risk of costly emergency repairs.

Minimal Business Disruptions
Addressing potential issues early prevents unexpected breakdowns that could disrupt operations.
