Frequently Asked Questions

What is a makeup air unit and why does it need repair?

A makeup air unit (MAU) replaces air exhausted from a building — common in commercial kitchens, laboratories, and high-rise mechanical systems throughout Manhattan. When an MAU fails, it can cause negative pressure, poor indoor air quality, combustion hazards, and code violations. Regular maintenance and prompt repair restore safe airflow, protect occupants, and keep your building compliant with NYC Department of Buildings requirements.
