Expert Design, Installation, Service & Replacement of Make-Up Air Systems Across the GTA

At Nutech Air System, we design and install customized Make-Up Air Systems for commercial, industrial, and multi-residential buildings across the GTA and surrounding areas. Whether you operate a commercial kitchen in Toronto, a warehouse in Brantford, or a manufacturing plant in Kitchener, we ensure your facility receives clean, temperature-controlled, and code-compliant ventilation.

What is a Make-Up Air System?

A Make-Up Air (MUA) system introduces fresh, tempered outdoor air into your building to replace air that’s exhausted through ventilation systems, such as range hoods or exhaust fans. Without this replacement air, buildings can suffer from negative pressure, leading to backdrafts, drafts, odors, and compromised indoor air quality.

Benefits of Make-Up Air Systems

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Balances pressure to remove odors, pollutants, and excess humidity effectively.

Energy Efficient

Tempered air reduces HVAC load, lowering heating and cooling energy consumption.

Better Ventilation

Ensures exhaust systems operate efficiently with proper air pressure balance.

Health & Safety Boost

Enhances airflow to reduce health risks and support safer, more productive spaces.

Rebate Incentives

provincial and federal energy-efficiency rebate programs

What are the different types of Make-Up Air Systems We Offer?

Direct-Fired Units: Efficient for large industrial spaces, directly heating outdoor air for quick delivery.
Indirect-Fired Units: Use a heat exchanger to keep combustion air separate — ideal for clean environments like food or pharma.
Electric Make-Up Air: A quiet, low-maintenance solution for smaller commercial or residential settings.

Is it Time for an Upgrade?

Your current ventilation setup may be costing you in performance, comfort, and energy. Modern MUA systems, particularly condensing units, offer enhanced energy savings and can improve indoor air quality, especially in buildings with high ventilation requirements.

Signs you might need an upgrade include:

  •   Persistent negative air pressure or drafty environments
  •   Poor air quality or excessive humidity
  •   Frequent repairs or emergency calls
  •   HVAC systems running longer or harder than usual
  •   Staff or customer discomfort complaints
  •   High energy bills without explanation

  • Let Nutech assess your setup and recommend a future-proof solution.
