But when your commercial HVAC system is on the fritz, it can put your guests into a bit of disarray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are these problems that result in <a href=\"\/commercial-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commercial HVAC repair in Alexandria, VA<\/a>? Let\u2019s break them down and talk about everything you need to know, what you can expect, and let\u2019s find a solution to your commercial HVAC problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Maintenance\/Lack of Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t currently receiving regular maintenance for your commercial system, problems will pop up before you know it. You\u2019ll think, \u201cDidn\u2019t we just pay to have that fixed not that long ago?\u201d about a lot of issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance is the act of making small adjustments, tune-ups, and touch-ups that prevent your HVAC system from hitting the point of a full-scale breakdown. Two maintenance visits per year can be enough to help you save thousands in unexpected repair costs and loss of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refrigerant Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Refrigerant is a toxic chemical that, while important for your air conditioning system, isn\u2019t supposed to leak into areas where your staff or guests might be. Even if the leak is contained and isn\u2019t impacting business directly, your HVAC system is about to freeze up and encounter more damage than it ever should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s odd, but when your AC doesn\u2019t have enough refrigerant, it actually freezes. When components freeze up, they don\u2019t work properly. Your AC doesn\u2019t know it\u2019s frozen\u2013it\u2019s not supposed to be. It attempts to operate as if everything were normal,, but it simply doesn\u2019t work, and ice jams cause parts to overwork and break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electrical Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If everything looks fine on the surface, your issue could be deeper\u2013it could be an electrical failure. This can happen from old or faulty wiring, from unit age, surges from a recent storm\u2013the list goes on and on. The main thing to keep in mind is that an electrical failure isn\u2019t something that you can just power through while you wait for repairs. These issues completely halt your commercial HVAC system in its tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thermostat and Temperature Control Malfunctions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AC works fine, the heater is great, so why isn\u2019t it working as intended? It could be a simple problem such as your commercial thermostat being miscalibrated, so it\u2019s not detecting the right temperature in your business. When that happens, the thermostat doesn\u2019t know when to accurately request that the AC or heater turn on or off. Thankfully, calibrations and thermostats in general are a quicker fix than most other commercial HVAC problems you\u2019ll encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And They Can All Be Fixed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have the right commercial HVAC team on your side.
