Why Commercial HVAC Maintenance is Necessary

Regular maintenance on your heating and air conditioning does many things. First and foremost, it ensures systems are running smoothly before the extreme weather of winter and summer set in. This is done by scheduling regular maintenance for the entire system annually. If you have a combined system such as a heat pump, you may want to have twice annual maintenance to ensure nothing is missed.

If you have separate systems such as a boiler or furnace and a central air conditioning system, it is best to have annual maintenance performed just before the season starts, when the system is most likely to be put through heavy use. We provide a full range of annual maintenance services designed to fit your particular needs, so make sure you talk with one of our technicians to determine what’s needed for your system.

Maintenance Between Professional Visits

Beyond the scheduled maintenance we will perform, there are some basic tasks you can do that will keep your system running smoothly in the interim. Keep your boiler room, furnace or indoor air conditioning equipment as clean as possible. Clean up excess dust and debris and install carbon monoxide detectors to ensure you know immediately if anything goes wrong.

Electronic monitoring is also available for newer systems to check temperatures and output. If you use your commercial systems to heat and cool a large space or multiple units, you should consider a centralized monitoring system. This will allow you to check up on your HVAC system at a central location and get immediate alerts if anything should ever go wrong. Keep in mind that manual checkups are still recommended as electronic systems can break just as easily as the system it is designed to monitor.

There are a number of other tasks you can perform regularly including filter changes, checking and cleaning the coils, and clearing away outside debris at the site of a compressor or heat pump. If you want to learn more about the tasks you can and should perform on your own, ask your technician for a list of quick and easy ways to maintain your system between visits.
