Commercial Air Conditioner Maintenance
Air conditioners are complex machines that remove thermal energy from inside a building by cycling refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils to change it from a liquid to a gaseous state and back again. While commercial air conditioning systems can be remarkably long-lived, they do need regular air conditioning maintenance to reach their maximum potential and keep delivering the same efficient cooling services year after year.
When you invest in regular commercial HVAC maintenance services, it's not just about having an HVAC technician check out your air conditioner, change the filter and give a thumbs up that everything is fine. It gives us an opportunity to turn back the clock on all the wear and tear damage the system has incurred since its last maintenance appointment, which means it will remain in great shape for much longer and save you money in the long run on frequent repairs and HVAC replacements.
Commercial HVAC maintenance for air conditioners includes steps such as:
- Cleaning condenser coil and evaporator coil
- Inspecting and lubricating motors
- Checking fan belts for wear
- Straightening and cleaning fins
- Clearing drain lines and drain pans
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Testing for refrigerant leaks and making any necessary repairs
- Checking for duct leaks in central air conditioning systems
- Measuring airflow through your evaporator
- Calibrating your thermostat
Commercial Heating Maintenance
While there are a lot of different types of heating systems available, most commercial buildings need the power of a furnace that uses the same central forced-air ducts as an air conditioner to deliver heated air and keep your building warm and cozy during the chilly winter months. The process of furnace maintenance is similar to that of AC maintenance and involves steps such as changing filters, motor lubrication, checking cords and hoses for signs of wear or damage, and ensuring that the overall system is operating smoothly and with the maximum possible energy efficiency.
