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 make sure 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.

Our factory-trained technicians understand the engineering requirements behind properly designed make-up air systems. Whether you are installing a new unit or replacing aging equipment, our commercial and industrial teams make sure your system is sized, installed, and commissioned correctly.

OMAHA MAKE-UP AIR UNIT INSTALLATION FAQ
Can you install direct-fired make-up air units?
Yes. Direct-fired make-up air units deliver a steady flow of fresh, tempered air, significantly improving indoor air quality and supporting proper ventilation. Our commercial HVAC services include expert installation, maintenance, and repair of direct-fired make-up air units, so your business operates efficiently and meets all safety standards. Whether your facility is in Omaha, NE, Council Bluffs, or the surrounding area, our skilled technicians are trained to handle the complexities of these units. As your one-stop shop for commercial HVAC needs, we help you maintain a comfortable, compliant, and productive workspace.
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 make-up 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, require maintenance for proper daily operation. Evaluating existing systems is a key part of the installation and maintenance process. Regular maintenance, including cleaning evaporator and heating coils, inspecting heating equipment and furnaces, and following a maintenance plan, prolongs system lifespan, reduces costs, and keeps performance at its best. 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. We focus exclusively on commercial and industrial projects, which lets us be the experts in that work.
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. These signs point to a need for better ventilation and air balance in your space. Commercial kitchens, warehouses, and facilities with high exhaust rates often require a make-up air unit installation to restore proper airflow balance and maintain indoor air quality. To accurately assess your needs, schedule a consultation with HVAC professionals who can evaluate your current system and explain the benefits of a make-up air unit. Expect the experts to measure exhaust rates and make sure the make-up air unit matches these rates to prevent energy loss and system inefficiency. Installing a make-up air unit promptly can prevent further issues such as increased energy costs and discomfort caused by improper air pressure. Proper make-up air unit installation in Omaha not only balances air pressure but also supports your air conditioning and heating systems, improving overall HVAC performance and energy efficiency.

Installation requirements vary by unit type and facility, but common steps include:
- System evaluation and appropriate unit sizing.
- Site preparation and removal of existing equipment.
- Proper placement of the MAU on a foundation or structure.
- Installation of gas, electrical, and ductwork connections, including ductwork in challenging locations and proper sealing to improve airflow and energy efficiency.
- System startup, testing, and airflow balancing, with a focus on automatic controls and motorized dampers so the unit operates in sync with the exhaust system and closes when not in use.
After installation, it is important to evaluate the system and schedule routine maintenance to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.
