Common MVHR installation and repair Issues in Durham

Typical problems that Durham property owners and facilities managers encounter — and how a qualified engineer can help:

System not heating or cooling effectively after installation

If your newly installed system isn't reaching set temperatures, it may be undersized or incorrectly commissioned. A qualified Durham engineer can diagnose and resolve commissioning issues.

Refrigerant leaks shortly after installation

Poorly flared or under-torqued joints can cause refrigerant to escape. F-Gas certified engineers in Durham can locate and repair leaks, then pressure-test the system.

Noisy or vibrating outdoor unit

Incorrect mounting, inadequate clearance, or unbalanced fans can cause excessive noise. A Durham engineer can re-secure the unit and reduce vibration transmission.
