The Benefits of a Well-Maintained Commercial HVAC System

By Laura Aimes


Commercial air conditioning (HVAC) systems use equipment and technologies to efficiently heat and cool very larger buildings while eliminating odors. The environment of a commercial building is very different from a family home. A more extensive system is required to control odor, eliminate chemicals in the air, and maintain the temperature of the industrial or commercial environment. The people that maintain these systems require different training than those only working on home systems.

Since the technologies and environments are different, the service technicians you rely upon for installation, maintenance, and repair of your commercial heating and air systems should be different. A residential HVAC technician may not have the skills and knowledge necessary for installing, repairing, and maintaining a commercial HVAC system, and vice versa. When you hire an HVAC service for your home or commercial building, make sure the technicians walking into your home or business have the experience and expertise for the job at hand.

Any commercial building maintenance manager that is really in the know will tell you that it is absolutely vital to perform regular maintenance on a HVAC system. If you let a system go a long time (or even a short time) without regular maintenance, you will find yourself having to spend quite a bit of time and money repairing the system. If the system has been effectively maintained by a qualified technician, parts will be been replaced on time and minor problems will be fixed. All this happens long before minor problems have a chance to cause malfunctions which can make an office environment go without reliable heating and cooling.

HVAC system maintenance avoids those unpleasant emergency situations that could shut your business down . You never have a guarantee that there will be no problems, but the problems will be fewer and further between if you invest in maintenance rather than just investing in those massive repairs.

Residential and commercial HVAC systems have much greater lifespans when effective and correct maintenance is undertaken. That means the system you own will deliver much better use and the cost of any replacements will be cut down tremendously. The cost of regular maintenance on a heating and air system is very low when compared to the costs of a damaged system that has to be replaced.

The potential to save a huge amounts of money could very well be the top benefit to maintaining your HVAC system. The financial burden of having to totally replace an exhaust system and consistent expenses associated with breakdowns will be cut back and you just might be able to save a huge amount of funds on your energy bills because the system will operate more efficiently. A thoroughly maintained system will lead to getting a far lower electricity bill than would be the case with one that has been neglected.

Commercial HVAC maintenance services are far more reasonable than the fees you will pay for emergency repairs in the wee hours of the morning or on a weekend. If you are not properly trained to understand and manipulate the complex operations and parts of a commercial HVAC system, do not try the do-it-yourself route to maintenance. Even if you know your way around your residential HVAC system, you do not necessarily have the knowledge necessary for the care of a commercial HVAC system.
