Vortice is proud to announce the launch of the VORTICE F4L, also known as the "Fan For Life", a revolutionary new ventilation system designed not only to improve long-term health but also to serve as a solution to Awaab's Law complaints. The "Fan For Life" prioritises prevention over cure when tackling damp and mould issues in the social housing sector. Vortice firmly believes that it is more important than ever to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to persistent social housing issues. Awaab's Law - a brand-new piece of social housing legislation - ensures that landlords must respond to health and safety hazards like damp and mould within 24 hours. The "Fan For Life" is designed to prevent those health and safety hazards at the root cause.

The VORTICE 4FL boasts an industry-leading 10-year parts warranty, with unrivalled performance and a modular design that makes it flexible for a wide range of housing situations. The "Fan For Life" sets a new benchmark for improving indoor air quality, reducing maintenance costs, and delivering a state-of-the-art, robust ventilation strategy. The aim is not to merely keep damp and mould at bay, it is to eliminate the issue for good, keeping residents healthy while also empowering housing associations and local authorities to futureproof their housing stock.

The modern retrofit market comes with a unique set of new challenges, and the "Fan For Life" has been specifically designed to tackle those problems head-on. Thanks to the VORTICE 4FL, housing associations, local authorities, and contractors will no longer have to spend valuable time, money, and resources on full replacement fans. As the name suggests, once the "Fan For Life" is installed, you will never need to fit another fan ever again. All modular components can be swapped in a matter of seconds without the need for an electrician, allowing you to maintain a high level of performance without disrupting occupants or shelling out for repeat labour costs.

"Fan For Life" Leads the Fight Against 8.8 billion Problem

Social housing providers are facing unprecedented financial pressures, with a record 8.8 billion spent on repairs and maintenance in 2024. This represents a 13% increase from the previous year and 55% higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2020.

At the same time, the UK is grappling with a skills shortage in the housing and construction sector, with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) forecasting a need for an additional 252,000 skilled workers by 2028, making it increasingly difficult for housing providers to find qualified professionals.

Recognising this challenge, Vortice [https://vortice.ltd.uk/] has engineered the "Fan For Life" to negate the need for electricians when replacing the fan or its components. This innovative design not only reduces reliance on skilled trades but also ensures that maintenance can be carried out quickly and cost-effectively, easing the burden on housing providers.

Key Features and Benefits of the VORTICE 4FL:

Awaab Law Solution: Social housing landlords must respond to health and safety hazards like damp and mould within 24 hours under new laws. The "Fan For Life" is designed as a proactive, preventative measure to stop damp and mould from ever appearing.

Modular Design: Simply replace the components instead of the entire fan, all without the need for an electrician. This saves on time, money, and pressure on maintenance departments.

10-Year Parts Warranty: The longest warranty on the market. The "Fan For Life" is specifically designed with reliability in mind. Once installed, you won't ever need a replacement.

Unrivalled Performance: The "Fan For Life" is the highest-performing fan in its category, exceeding Building Regulations Part F and Part L requirements for social housing stock.

Integrated Data Tracking: Built-in smart tracking system allows housing providers to easily retrieve up to 23 data parameters via USB, ensuring compliance and protecting against disrepair claims.

Energy Efficiency: Fully adjustable settings ensure precise airflow, reducing energy consumption and running costs for tenants.

Versatility: Suitable for wall, window, and ceiling applications, with both IPX4 and SELV options available.

Paul Harrington, Social Housing Sales Director at Vortice: "The '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. The '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 4FL prevents it from appearing in the first place. This 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 sector today: the skills shortage. There are fewer qualified tradespeople available than ever before, so we wanted to create a product that simplifies maintenance and reduces reliance on electricians. The 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 first-hand the challenges housing providers face in balancing compliance, cost, and occupant satisfaction. The '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

The 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. The "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. "The 'Fan For Life' empowers housing providers to futureproof their stock, reduce maintenance costs, and deliver healthier, high-quality living environments for their residents."
