Commercial HVAC systems are large and complex. It can be difficult to determine the exact sources of problems and what to do about them. But, you have a duty to keep HVAC systems operational for the safety and comfort of your employees, clients, as well as your own bottom line.
There are a few common commercial HVAC problems systems run into, but luckily they are relatively easy to avoid. Here are 5 to look out for.
1. Clogged Filters
If you’re having air quality problems, or your HVAC system is using more energy than it should, the problem is likely from dirty or clogged air filters. These will need to be replaced, and, to avoid future problems, they should be replaced quarterly.
2. Uneven Air Temperature and Flow
If parts of your commercial space are hot and others are cold, it’s likely because your dampers are unbalanced. To avoid future problems with dampers, it’s best to have your commercial HVAC contractor inspect airflow during regular maintenance.
3. Clogged Drain Line
If water is leaking from your commercial HVAC system, it’s likely because the drain line is clogged. This will happen periodically because of dirt and algae build-up, so the best way to avoid a clogged drain line is to occasionally clean it out.
4. Lack of Regular Maintenance
This is the most common cause of commercial HVAC problems. Without proper maintenance, any number of problems can occur and minor fixes can turn into huge expenses. Putting a maintenance schedule in place is vital to the health of your HVAC system.
