New residential towers in Chile come with mechanical ventilation systems that most residents have never seen, never maintained, and never cleaned. We specialize in exactly that.
Over the past decade, Chile's residential construction boom has produced thousands of apartments equipped with mechanical ventilation systems — heat recovery units, forced-air extractors, pressurized ducts, and multi-zone filters. These systems are required by building code and installed by developers, but they rarely come with adequate handover documentation.
The result? Residents move in, notice a grille on the ceiling or a box in the utility closet, and assume it works. No one cleans it. No one checks the filters. No one services the motors. Industry experience suggests that the vast majority of these systems in Chilean residential towers have never received a single professional inspection.
The consequences range from subtle — reduced air quality, persistent odors, higher energy bills — to more serious health and safety concerns. Movdelo was created to address this gap.
About Movdelo
Every component of your building's ventilation system, handled by technicians who understand residential HVAC infrastructure.
We access duct runs from accessible panels and inspection points, document the condition of internal surfaces, check for blockages, moisture, biological growth, and structural integrity. You receive a detailed written report.
We use rotary brush systems and high-powered extraction to remove accumulated dust, debris, and biological contaminants from duct walls. Work is performed with minimal disruption to residents and common areas.
We identify all filter locations — including those in hard-to-reach service areas — assess current filtration efficiency, and replace with appropriate-grade filters. We document filter types and establish replacement schedules.
Bathroom extractors, kitchen exhaust fans, common area ventilation units — we service all motor-driven components, check bearings, clean impellers, test airflow volumes, and identify units approaching end of service life.
HRV and ERV units are the most complex and most neglected components in modern residential ventilation. We clean heat exchange cores, replace filters, inspect bypass dampers, test defrost cycles, and verify efficiency parameters.
After service, we provide a comprehensive system report with measured airflow values, identified deficiencies, recommended corrective actions, and a proposed maintenance schedule — documentation useful for building management and future reference.
A clear, structured process designed around the realities of residential building management.
