Why Air Handling Unit Maintenance Matters

Air handling units (AHUs) play a crucial role in controlling and maintaining indoor air quality. Over time, AHUs can accumulate dust, dirt, mould, and other contaminants, which not only reduce their efficiency but can also affect the health of building occupants. Regular air handling unit maintenance is essential to ensure that your HVAC system runs efficiently and that your indoor air remains clean and healthy.

By scheduling air handling unit cleaning and disinfection services with PRN Hygiene, you can improve the performance of your HVAC system, reduce energy costs, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
