What is TR/19?

TR/19 is a standard for cleaning and maintenance within the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) industry. It is important for a clean to be TR/19 standard for several reasons.

Firstly, TR/19 ensures that a clean is thorough and comprehensive. It covers all aspects of HVAC cleaning, from the ductwork to the air handling units, and includes guidelines for cleaning and decontaminating all parts of the system. This means that a TR/19 standard clean will leave the HVAC system in optimal condition, ensuring efficient and effective operation.

Secondly, TR/19 standard cleaning helps to improve indoor air quality. A clean HVAC system can help to reduce the presence of airborne pollutants, allergens, and bacteria. This can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of building occupants, particularly those with respiratory conditions.

Thirdly, TR/19 standard cleaning can help to prolong the life of the HVAC system. A clean system is less likely to suffer from issues such as corrosion, blockages, and component failure. This can help to reduce the need for costly repairs and replacements, ultimately saving building owners money in the long term.

Lastly, TR/19 standard cleaning is essential for meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The UK has laws in place that require HVAC systems to be regularly cleaned and maintained, and a TR/19 standard clean will ensure that a building is compliant with these regulations.

In summary, TR/19 standard cleaning is essential for ensuring the efficient and effective operation of HVAC systems, improving indoor air quality, prolonging the life of the HVAC system, and meeting legal and regulatory requirements. Building owners should ensure that any cleaning carried out on their HVAC systems meets the TR/19 standard.
