8 Tips for Commercial HVAC Maintenance

Your commercial HVAC system is a fundamental part of your workplace and requires the best maintenance to keep your premises comfortable.

As a business, you need a properly functioning heating and air conditioning system to maintain comfortable temperatures within your premises. While there have been many advancements in managing maintenance operations and the latest field service management trends have seen big technology adoption, unfortunately, attention is only paid to HVAC systems when they break down and require expensive repairs. Here, we look at eight commercial HVAC maintenance tips you should embrace.

Schedule regular maintenance

The best care you can offer your HVAC system is to rely on a local and trusted heating and AC company like Action AC of San Diego for regular maintenance. This ensure that all underlying problems with your HVAC equipment are detected as early as possible. You can also order HVAC parts supplies.

Change air filters

It is highly recommended that you change the air filters in your HVAC system each month. However, if your environment contains a lot of air particulates such as pollen, dust, smoke, and other materials, you should check your air filters every two weeks. To further improve your indoor air quality, opt for high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that effectively remove ultra-fine particles that cause common allergies.

Inspect and clean the ducts

Your HVAC ductwork is a network of pipes that carry cooled air to your indoor space. Unfortunately, duct damage often leads to leaks that allow the cooled air to escape before it is used, making it impossible to regulate your indoor temperatures efficiently. It is vital to regularly inspect all the duct sections and ensure the connections are well-sealed and clean.

Opt for a programmable thermostat

Instead of relying on a thermostat that has to be professionally calibrated, opt for a programmable thermostat that enables you to timely adjust indoor temperatures, allowing you to benefit from enhanced energy efficiency.

Clean the indoor and outdoor units

Seasonal cleaning

of your indoor and outdoor units is one of the best practices when it comes to maintaining a well-functioning HVAC system. Make it a habit to have these units cleaned to get rid of dirt and other accumulations that might affect the proper functioning of your HVAC.

Check and clear the condensate system

The condensate drain plays a vital role, as it captures all the water, humidity, and condensation from your air conditioner’s evaporator coils before draining it. If your condensate system becomes clogged, this will cause the residual water to back up and cause moisture build-up. This can lead to a wide range of HVAC issues best avoided by regularly checking and cleaning your condensate system.

Never ignore any strange noises or odor

The quickest way to identify potential problems with your HVAC system is by keeping track of any strange noises or foul odors. If you detect any, they are a sign it is time to call a local HVAC expert.

Know when to replace your HVAC system

Most HVAC systems are built to last for 10 to 15 years, and while they might up a little longer with proper maintenance, you need to know when to replace them. Failure to do so may result in wasted time and money.
