Autumn check for your ventilation system
Why is it important for the ventilation system to be in optimal operating condition?
A ventilation system from Nilan can last for many years if regularly serviced and maintained.
Since the ventilation system is often tucked away, it can be easy to overlook in daily life. However, for optimal performance, it’s crucial that the system is maintained and serviced periodically. Besides the risk of breakdowns from lack of maintenance, poor upkeep can lead to increased energy consumption and a decline in indoor air quality.
Preparing the ventilation system for the cold months
As the outdoor climate changes, it’s an excellent time to review your home’s ventilation system. The shifting seasons and temperatures mean that the operating conditions for your system are also changing. The cold months, in particular, place heavy demands on your ventilation system, so it’s wise to go through it before winter fully arrives.
Here is a checklist to help ensure your system is ready for the colder months:
✔️ Remove leaves, twigs, and similar debris from the roof caps to allow free airflow
✔️ Vacuum the system internally and wipe it down with a damp cloth
✔️ Ensure that the condensate tray is draining freely
✔️ Clean the ceiling vents
