HVAC Maintenance Tips for Business Owners

When it comes to running a business, your building is a large part of it. Of the many systems you may have operating in your building, your HVAC system is a crucial one. The HVAC system, when working properly, provides a comfortable environment for employees, customers, and anyone else who enters the building. To keep your HVAC system operating properly, regular maintenance is necessary. Here are some helpful tips on HVAC maintenance for businesses.

Change your Filters Regularly

If there is one thing you can do between professional maintenance appointments that can make the most difference in your HVAC system’s performance, it’s changing your filters. The intake vents draw air into the system to condition it (heat or cool it) and then blow it back out into the building. The job of the filter is to block dust, dirt, and particles from being sucked into the ducts and inner machinery of your furnace and air conditioner. A dirty filter can let unwanted particles through, so regular replacement is necessary. Quarterly replacement is best, but twice a year is the absolute minimum. 

Why is this important?

• Dust and other particles that get into the ducts can get into the working machinery of your heating and cooling systems. When your HVAC system gets dirty, it doesn’t function as efficiently, if it functions at all. 
• Any dust or particles that get past the intake filters can make their way through your system and back out through the vents, essentially blowing dust and other allergens around the building. 

Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance

HVAC maintenance for businesses is just as important as it is for your home, if not more so. A business tends to be a larger building than a standard single-family home and is likely to contain more people on a daily basis. A business HVAC system will most likely be larger and involve a greater amount of ductwork and vents. Commercial HVAC companies recommend twice a year maintenance, once to focus your heating system and once to focus on your cooling system.

Why is this important?

• Maintenance involves a thorough inspection of your system which will identify any potential problems, such as parts that are wearing out or loose. It can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and emergency repairs. 
• Keeping your HVAC system well maintained allows it to run at peak efficiency, which can save you money on your energy bill.
