Easily Preventable Commercial HVAC Issues

An efficient commercial HVAC system is essential for smooth business operations. Aside from keeping customers happy and comfortable, it can contribute to improved employee productivity. Fortunately, many HVAC issues are easily preventable with proactive maintenance. Read on to discover some of these problems.

Airflow Issues

Airflow issues in your HVAC system can result in uneven cooling or heating and increased energy consumption. They can also place added strain on system components, increasing the likelihood of breakdowns. Dirty filters, blocked ducts and fan malfunctions are common causes of this problem. Regular filter replacements and duct cleaning can help maintain good airflow in your equipment.

Thermostat Malfunctions

A malfunctioning thermostat can cause your HVAC system to short cycle. It’s when your unit turns off before completing a heating or cooling cycle. When this happens, your equipment won’t reach your desired temperature, resulting in discomfort.

Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant is a substance that circulates through your HVAC system. It goes through a thermal exchange process to bring heat from one area to another. This substance allows your equipment to cool your indoor spaces effectively.  

When a refrigerant leak occurs, your HVAC system will work harder than it should, resulting in higher energy costs. Regular inspections can catch refrigerant leaks early, allowing for timely repairs. During your appointment, your technicians will also check if the system has sufficient refrigerant charge.

Wear and Tear

It’s normal for HVAC system components to wear down over time, leading to inefficiencies and breakdowns. You can delay your equipment’s aging process with routine maintenance from professionals. Technicians will lubricate moving parts, secure electrical connections, and check system controls, helping improve your equipment’s efficiency and prolong its lifespan.
