Why AOV and Smoke Ventilation Maintenance Matters

AOV systems can include smoke vents, window or chain actuators, mechanical fans, louvres, control panels, interfaces and manual controls. Periodic inspection and testing help building managers identify faults and arrange remedial work when required.

Warning signs should be investigated promptly, including control-panel faults, power warnings, damaged devices, unreliable operation or equipment that does not respond as expected.
