COMMERCIAL HEAT PUMPS, FURNACES & AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTORS

VANCOUVER WA – BATTLE GROUND – CAMAS – LONGVIEW – PORTLAND OR

Commercial Heat Pumps, Furnaces & Air Conditioning is a necessity for every building.  Large commercial HVAC systems maintain indoor air quality (IAQ). They control the artificial climate and temperatures of the businesses that house them. Proper care of these systems is necessary to keep the occupants of these buildings comfortable and free from any harmful respiratory illnesses and allergies. To do this, reliable year-round management of the HVAC system is imperative to preserve clean air quality. With the guidance of an Apex Air technician, controlling the IAQ year round is possible despite an area’s climate.

A noticeable rise in respiratory illnesses in the building’s staff may indicate that there is mold in the HVAC system. Mold can trigger successive respiratory infections and occupational asthma. Taking careful measures to avoid the growth of mold in HVAC systems depends on a proper evaluation that requires the expertise of a professionally trained heating and air conditioning technician.

COMMERCIAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION

Various items found within a business climate contribute to the list of sources that invite the growth of mold. They are items such as cardboard, drinking fountains, drywall, fabric, food, office furniture, paper, refrigerators, sinks, and wood. Mold grows easily anywhere with the help of. It is not fussy. Add moisture to a high relative humidity level in the building and the growth of mold spores will accelerate increasing the risk of respiratory infections in the occupants of that building. Allowing mold spores to flourish within a business can end up in the heating and air conditioning environment leaving their workforce ailing with diminished productivity.

COMMERCIAL HVAC MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Ductwork that is leaking and uninsulated can deliver mold and debris throughout your commercial HVAC system contributing to an unhealthy office environment. Along with the leaking damaged pipes and ductwork, filthy coils diminish the efficiency of a commercial HVAC system adding to a company’s energy bills.

PREVENTION TIPS TO MAINTAIN THE EFFICIENCY A COMMERCIAL HVAC

• Reduce moisture level in the air
• Maintain the insulation and connections of the HVAC’s ductwork and pipes
• Sustain a moderate level of air circulation in building
• If possible increase air ventilation if air is dry and cold outside
• Use a dehumidifier if the air is humid and warm
• Carefully maintain indoor relative humidity for the area’s climate
• Keep HVAC drip pans unobstructed, clean and flowing
• Repair leaks in supply ducts and cabinet
• Adjust and clean dampers
• Maintain the unit’s infiltration systems to provide a clean and efficient working system
• Remember to maintain the cleanliness of the HVAC filters and change them regularly
• Check and clean intake vents

While maintaining the airflow, temperature and humidity are crucial, keeping the system’s fan clean and lubricated is also essential. There have been times that the filth on the blades of a fan has developed into mold. What most people do not know is that mold can grow almost anywhere. If there is mold in the building, it can transfer to the heating and air conditioning systems through the intake vents. Yearly maintenance helps to control the growth of mold and bacteria in the system lowering the incidence of respiratory infections while maintaining a higher level of productivity.  When it comes to commercial heat pumps, furnaces & air conditioning, Apex Air are you trained certified technicians focused on your comfort.
