AHU REFURBISHMENT SERVICE
Why clients choose the

refurbishment option, instead of
replacing their AHU’s
Envirotec recognises that many clients do not want the
upheaval and expense often associated with purchasing
new equipment. Our knowledge, experience and
proven track record means that Envirotec are well
placed to advise on the best option for clients, of either
refurbishing or replacing older high spec equipment.
Advantages of refurbishment compared to replacement:
● ‘Green’ solution - environmentally responsible by
re-using existing plant.
● Reduced cost over new plant.
● Minimum plant downtime.
● Less upheaval as existing services are often
unaltered.
● Minimal disruption to the building’s normal
operation.
