Commercial HVAC Contractor

Most commercial HVAC will last between 10 and 15 years. It’s important to note, however, that the lifespan of your system will depend on factors such as daily volume and maintenance schedule.

A great maintenance routine will keep your HVAC system running smoothly each season while preventing premature breakdowns. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend hours upon hours caring for your unit – a little bit of effort goes a long way. To keep your HVAC system in good shape long-term, follow these maintenance tips:

• Change your air filters regularly: If your air filters are dirty and clogged, your system won’t perform optimally and it may end up malfunctioning. At least once per quarter, you should wash or replace your air filters. 
• Perform routine visual inspections: When you change your air filters, take a few seconds to visually examine your unit. Look for signs of damage, disconnected lines, dirt and grime, or other symptoms of a bigger problem. 
• Clean out your drainage lines: The drainage lines are designed to carry condensation to a collection tray. With the amount of moisture that passes through them, the lines and tray may develop algae, mold, or other buildup. This will need to be regularly removed to prevent a blockage.
• Clean the AC evaporator and condenser coils: As air circulates over the evaporator and condenser coils, it may deposit dirt and other contaminants. A buildup could significantly impact the efficiency of your unit, so you should clean them at least once per year.
• Invest in professional services: A professional should inspect and recalibrate your system at least twice per year. This step is crucial to the overall health and performance of your system, and the technician will be able to handle any maintenance that your unit needs.

Most businesses should clean or replace their commercial HVAC filters once every three months. That said, companies in wet climates or areas with low air quality may need more frequent maintenance. You may need to change your HVAC filter more often if you notice signs such as:

• Dust or dirt around the vents
• Slow heating or cooling
• Low or uneven airflow
• Poor air quality from your unit
• Discoloration of the filter
• HVAC is overheating or malfunctioning

More often than not, HVAC problems start small. Catching an issue early on will help you solve the problem before it can significantly impact the performance of your unit. Keep an eye out for these early signs that your commercial HVAC needs repairs:

• Insufficient or uneven airflow
• High humidity or low air quality
• Water leaking from your unit
• Musty or unpleasant odors
• Loud or unusual noises 
• Increasing energy bills
