Advantages of air handling unit (AHU) refurbishment compared to replacement:
- Reduced cost compared to purchasing new units
- More environmentally friendly by re-using existing equipment
- Reduced system downtime
- Existing services are typically unaltered
- Energy costs reduced
Even if a building owner has done a good job maintaining their air handling unit, there comes a time when it needs to be replaced or completely refurbished. It is at this point, when the unit has begun to perform poorly and deteriorate that maintenance costs begin to increase.
