Electroair - AHU Fan Upgrade - Energy Saving
AHU fan upgrades provide a highly effective and cost-efficient solution for improving the performance, efficiency, and reliability of existing air handling units without the need for full system replacement. Many older AHU fan assemblies operate using outdated technology that consumes excessive energy, requires frequent maintenance, and limits overall system performance. By upgrading to modern high-efficiency fan systems, significant energy savings and operational improvements can be achieved.
Our AHU fan upgrade solutions typically involve replacing existing belt-driven or inefficient fan assemblies with modern EC or direct-drive fan technology. These upgrades improve airflow performance, reduce mechanical losses, and minimise maintenance requirements by removing components such as belts and pulleys that are prone to wear and failure. Variable speed control can also be incorporated, allowing systems to respond more accurately to building demand while further reducing energy consumption.
In addition to energy savings, fan upgrades can improve system reliability, reduce noise levels, and extend the overall lifespan of the air handling unit. Upgrades can often be completed within the existing AHU casing, minimising disruption to building operations and providing a cost-effective alternative to full unit replacement. Each upgrade is carefully assessed and designed to suit the existing system configuration, airflow requirements, and site constraints.
Supported by the wider capabilities of i-Flow Technologies, we provide full project support from initial site surveys and performance assessments through to design, manufacture, installation, and commissioning. Our tailored upgrade solutions help clients improve system efficiency, reduce operational costs, and support long-term sustainability and decarbonisation goals while maximising the value of existing ventilation assets.
