Vent-Axia

For 80 years, Vent-Axia has set the ventilation standard. Founded in 1936 by Joe Akester, we are immensely proud of our heritage as a dynamic British manufacturer. From the World's first electrically-operated window fan, to the first App controlled bathroom fan, we have always been forward-thinking, innovative and dedicated. We provide, without doubt, the largest most comprehensive choice available from any single ventilation manufacturer. The Vent-Axia range covers residential and non-residential applications, and consists of unitary fans, demand control systems, specialist heat recovery and whole-house systems.

Vent-Axia has supplied ventilation to the impressive Clippers Quay in Salford. Vent-Axia ventilation systems were specified to provide good indoor air quality for all 614 apartments. The largest build to rent development outside London, the scheme comprises 614 apartments and is set to be home to more than 1,200 residents and seven new retail businesses. One of the UK's largest providers of MEP services, HE Simm, specified and installed the ventilation for Grainger plc, the UK's largest listed professional landlord, who owns and manages the property.

The health of your home can impact the health of your family. That's why it really benefits to understand the importance of indoor air and how it affects your home environment and ultimately, your health. It's not something we pay much attention to day-to-day but our homes can become up to 50x more polluted than outside. Over the last 30 years homes have become more energy efficient through the installation of double glazing, cavity wall and loft insulation, these measures are designed to keep the heat in, reducing the energy required to heat your home whilst limiting expense and protecting the environment.

Just like carrying out servicing on a car or a gas boiler, a ventilation system needs to be serviced on a regular basis. This is essential to ensure the system is running at optimum efficiency and providing the household with good indoor air quality. Regular servicing will also help to avoid costly repairs at potentially inconvenient times of the year. Letting us service your system will ensure your home benefits from good indoor air quality, you will have reduced running costs, your system will last longer and it will operate quietly and efficiently.

Vent-Axia innovation is at the heart of many of the historic breakthroughs which have shaped the HVAC industry we know today. Our invention of the first electrically-operated window ventilator in 1936 was a significant landmark in its own right. It was also just the beginning of the Vent-Axia story. In this era, one of our first and most important customers was Sir Winston Churchill. During the dark days of World War II, Vent-Axia were responsible for putting the V in ventilation, creating the right air quality for clear thinking at Number 10 Downing Street.
