VAV
25 years of unrivalled Belimo VAV expertise, tailored to you
MHS has been specialising in maintaining, upgrading and repairing Belimo VAV systems since our inception in 1995. Not only do we supply VAV products we consult, train and design VAV retrofit systems. Our business was founded on an interest and expertise in VAV. We believe there is no other company in the UK who has more specialist VAV knowledge and experience than MHS.
What is VAV?
VAV (Variable Air Volume) is a pressure independent HVAC system that offers precise air flow in designed areas. It is typically used in the following applications:
- Large scale commercial offices
- Laboratories
- Colleges & Universities
- Libraries and research centres
- Cruise ships & super yachts
- Large, high-end residential projects
When operating correctly, VAV systems offer an energy efficient solution to fresh air supply, heating and cooling demands. So long as the system is maintained properly, VAV provides efficiency, longevity and flexibility that is far superior to other HVAC systems that may initially appear cheaper to install.
So let’s talk about how to get the best out of your VAV system.
VAV is a technically unique system and many maintenance companies and consultants have limited or no knowledge of its operation. Without specialist knowledge of the best approach to upgrading a VAV system, upgrades could be non-cohesive and technically inferior, reducing reliability and costing you more money in the long run.
There can be a temptation to replace a VAV system at the first sign of failure, but with specialist advice you can limit replacements to specific components, hugely reducing your repair bill.
Many Belimo VAV products are backwardly compatible with previous VAV actuators and controllers, so typically you won’t have to remove all the existing components to get the system working effectively again.
Specialist knowledge that saves you money
Our team has vast experience in upgrading electronic, pneumatic, dual duct, and other VAV systems. We can advise on refitting any type of VAV system, no matter how old or complicated, with new electronic Belimo VAV controls. The upgraded controls can be designed to be connected to your BMS, or be standalone. We will work with you to design a new VAV controls package that is customised to the specific site needs.
