at Vortice said: “T e ‘Fan For Life’ is more than just a ventilation product; it’s a long-term strategy for social housing providers. Awaab’s Law is an important piece of new legislation, but we believe some social housing landlords are approaching the issue of damp and mould from the wrong angle. T e ‘Fan For Life’ focuses on proactive prevention rather than reactive cures. Instead of aiming to get rid of damp and mould once it appears, the VORTICE F4L prevents it from appearing in the fi rst place. T is not only improves occupant health but also helps avoid costly and time-sensitive complaints for landlords under Awaab’s Law. “We have also designed the ‘Fan For Life’ to address one of the biggest challenges facing the
Housing Management & Maintenance December/January 2026
housing sector today: the skills shortage. T ere are fewer qualifi ed tradespeople available than ever before, so we wanted to create a product that simplifi es maintenance and reduces reliance on electricians. T e modular design means components can be swapped in seconds, saving time, money, and resources. “As someone who has spent over 25 years
working in residential ventilation, I’ve seen fi rst-hand the challenges housing providers face in balancing compliance, cost, and occupant satisfaction. T e ‘Fan For Life’ is our answer to these challenges - a product that’s innovative, reliable, and built to last. We back that up with the best warranty on the market.”
AWAAB’S LAW: PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE T e launch of the “Fan For Life” comes at a critical time for the social housing sector, as Awaab’s Law introduces stricter timelines for addressing
disrepair cases. T e “Fan For Life” supports housing providers and occupants alike in taking a proactive approach to ventilation, preventing damp and mould issues before they arise. “Damp and mould complaints are not just a
compliance issue, they’re a health issue,” Paul Harrington adds. “T e ‘Fan For Life’ empowers housing providers to futureproof their stock, reduce maintenance costs, and deliver healthier, high- quality living environments for their residents.” Vortice is a leading provider of ventilation
