What We Do

Our Make-Up Air Unit Repair Services in Manhattan

Comprehensive maintenance, repair, and replacement — keeping make-up air units running year-round across Manhattan's commercial buildings.

🔧

Emergency MAU Repair

A failed make-up air unit throws off building pressurization fast. Our certified technicians reach Manhattan buildings typically within 4 hours, stocked to diagnose and repair on the first visit.

🌬️

Airflow & Building Pressurization Diagnosis

MAU failures often show up as comfort complaints or stairwell pressure issues elsewhere in the building — we diagnose the actual airflow balance problem, not just the unit itself.

📅

Preventative Maintenance Contracts

Custom maintenance plans starting from $396/year keep filters, belts, dampers, and burners tuned ahead of Manhattan's seasonal demand swings.

🌿

LL97 Compliance Optimization

MAU units condition large volumes of outside air continuously — a major and often overlooked energy load. We assess your carbon exposure and implement fixes that reduce Local Law 97 fines.

🔄

MAU Replacement & Retrofits

When repair no longer makes economic sense, we handle full replacement — engineered to your building's current airflow requirements, with NYC DOB filings and startup commissioning included.

📊

Air Balance & TAB Reporting

Certified TAB reports delivered post-service confirm your make-up air system meets design specification and code — documentation your building manager needs on file.

LL97 Note: Manhattan buildings over 25,000 sq ft face escalating carbon penalties starting 2024. Make-up air units are one of the largest hidden energy loads in commercial buildings — tune-ups and controls upgrades are among the fastest paths to measurable emissions reduction.

From breakdown to back online

One partner handles every step. Here's how we do it.

01

Same-day site assessment

You call, we respond. A certified technician reaches your Manhattan location within 4 hours — equipped with diagnostic tools and common MAU parts to resolve most issues on the first visit.

02

Root cause diagnosis

We don't replace parts until we understand the failure. A full diagnostic — airflow, electrical, mechanical — identifies the real cause rather than masking symptoms that resurface later.

03

Fixed-price proposal

Before a wrench turns, you receive a clear, itemized quote with no hidden line items. What we quote is what you pay — we absorb any unintended costs.

04

Certified repair & commissioning

Factory-certified technicians execute the repair to OEM specification, followed by a full startup and commissioning check — verifying airflow and performance before we leave.

Questions we hear every day

Straight answers about make-up air unit repair in Manhattan — no marketing fluff.

How quickly can Denair respond to a make-up air unit failure in Manhattan?
Denair provides 24/7 emergency response across Manhattan with technicians typically on-site within 4 hours of your call. Our fleet is dispatched from Brooklyn and can reach any Manhattan location — Midtown, Downtown, or Upper Manhattan — with common MAU parts already on the vehicle, enabling same-day repairs in most cases.
Is Denair certified to repair the MAU brands used in Manhattan buildings?
Yes. Denair holds factory certifications for Trane, Carrier, Reznor, Greenheck, and other major make-up air unit manufacturers common in Manhattan commercial buildings. This means repairs are performed to OEM specifications, protecting your manufacturer's warranty.
How does make-up air unit repair relate to Local Law 97 compliance?
LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and MAU units — which continuously condition outside air — are one of the largest energy loads in many buildings. A failing or degraded unit draws more energy, increasing your LL97 exposure. Denair includes an LL97 impact assessment with every major MAU service for qualifying Manhattan buildings.
What does make-up air unit repair cost in Manhattan?
Cost depends on the specific failure — a damper actuator or control board repair costs considerably less than a blower motor or heat exchanger replacement. Denair diagnoses the issue and provides a fixed, itemized quote before starting work, so you know the full cost upfront.
Can Denair handle full make-up air unit replacement on a Manhattan building?
Yes — Denair provides complete turnkey MAU replacement, including engineering specification, equipment procurement, NYC DOB filing coordination where required, installation, startup commissioning, and certified TAB reporting. We've managed replacement projects from single-unit swaps to full mechanical floor overhauls across Manhattan's commercial buildings.
