WHAT IS MAKE-UP AIR?

A Make-up air unit is designed to “make up” the air in your interior space that has been removed due to process exhaust fans or other ventilated exhaust systems. This type of HVAC solution pulls in fresh, tempered air (heated or cooled) from outside your building to replace existing air that cannot be recirculated.

A make-up air solution is recommended for buildings where environmental conditions warrant a greater need for ventilation not only to improve the quality of air within the building, but also protect the health of those inside.

 As ventilation and exhaust systems remove air from the building, the make-up air unit works in conjunction to find an equilibrium and provide the right amount of air to return into the building

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKE-UP AIR AND STANDARD VENTILATION

Typical ventilation fans bring in outside air that is not temperature controlled. Gas Fired Make Up Air units can provide heated and cooled temperature controlled fresh air to keep the inside environment at your desired temperature.
