As a building owner or manager, it’s your duty to make sure that everything is working as it should, including heating and cooling systems. This component of your property is essential to the comfort and health of the occupants. Your HVAC equipment must be maintained regularly, and to keep it efficient you need to make sure necessary repairs aren’t delayed.

Here are some common commercial HVAC mistakes that you should avoid to prevent wasted energy.

Not Cleaning the Coils

Your HVAC system won’t be able to cool your air properly if the coils are filthy. Rather, this will cause the equipment to work harder than it should, resulting in higher energy costs. Indoor and outdoor coils are prone to accumulating dust and grime. In addition, activities such as  mowing your lawn can cause debris to get stuck in the coil, preventing your HVAC system from cooling your interior efficiently.

Failing to Regularly Maintain Your HVAC System

It pays to be proactive when it comes to HVAC maintenance. You shouldn’t only set up an air conditioner service visit when something goes wrong with the system. After all, routine maintenance can help detect minor issues before they turn into costly repairs and replacements.

Not Replacing Filters

HVAC filters must be checked and replaced regularly to ensure the efficiency of your system. An HVAC technician can help you determine how long it will be until you need new filters. A preventative maintenance program can also help you stay on track with filter changes.

Delaying Repairs

You should call an HVAC technician as soon as possible if you believe something’s not right with your heating and cooling system. Not addressing repairs immediately will only cause the problem to get worse. If you notice weird noises, odd smells, drafts or leaks, get in touch with a professional.
