TALK TO THE EXPERTS
Let the experts at Rasmussen Mechanical handle your make-up air unit replacement or new installation. Our team evaluates your facility to determine whether a new MAU installation will improve performance, comfort, and efficiency. We evaluate the flow rate of the make-up air to ensure it matches the exhaust rate and prevents negative pressure. A quality filter box (ideally MERV 10 or 11) is recommended to maintain indoor air quality. In Omaha's cold climate, installing a duct heater for the make-up air is recommended to warm incoming air before it enters the space. Units must be automatically controlled to start simultaneously with the exhaust system and include a motorized damper for closure when not in use.

OMAHA MAKE UP AIR UNIT INSTALLATION FAQ
Can you install direct fired make-up air units?

Why hire a professional for MAU Installation?
Hiring a licensed HVAC contractor is crucial for make up air unit installation in commercial properties. Installing a makeup air unit in Omaha involves understanding local codes and permits for any mechanical installation that alters or adds to a structure's HVAC system. When done right, proper installation of make up air units can improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality. When done incorrectly, you can increase energy usage by pumping more air than is needed into the space. Thermostats and zoning systems are also important for temperature control and energy savings in large buildings.
Is make-up air unit maintenance important?
Commercial HVAC systems, including heating equipment and heating systems, require maintenance for proper daily operations in businesses. Evaluating existing systems is a key part of the installation and maintenance process. Regular and routine maintenance—including cleaning evaporator and heating coils, inspecting heating equipment and furnaces, and following a maintenance plan—prolongs system lifespan, reduces costs, and ensures optimal performance. Regular maintenance of make up air units is necessary to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs. We are committed to providing cost-effective solutions and back our work with a guarantee of quality service. While we don't serve residential clients, this allows us to be the experts on commercial and industrial projects.
How do I know if my building needs a make-up air unit?
If doors are hard to open, drafts are present, temperatures are inconsistent, or exhaust systems overpower your HVAC, your building may be under negative pressure. Commercial kitchens, warehouses, and facilities with high exhaust rates often require a make-up air unit to restore proper airflow balance.
