Regular maintenance is essential for commercial HVAC systems to operate efficiently and effectively. Maintenance is vital to preventing breakdowns and costly repairs that can interrupt your business operations. At VENTEC Refrigeration Inc., our experts have comprised a list of general HVAC maintenance you should be doing to keep your system in top shape. Top Tips for Commercial HVAC Maintenance
A comprehensive list of maintenance tasks should include the following:
- Checking refrigerant levels: Refrigerant levels should be checked regularly to ensure there is enough in the system to provide efficient cooling or heating as needed. If the level drops too low, it will cause the system to operate inefficiently.
- Cleaning air filters: Dirty, clogged air filters can significantly impact indoor air quality and restrict airflow, resulting in poor performance from your HVAC system. Air filters should be checked regularly and changed as needed.
- Inspecting fan motors: Fan motors provide power to the blower, and keeping them in good working order is essential for good performance. Motor bearings should be checked regularly to ensure that they are not worn down and must be replaced.
- Checking thermostat settings: Thermostats control the temperature of your commercial HVAC system, so it’s crucial to ensure they are set correctly. Check the settings periodically to ensure optimal performance and energy savings.
- Check system controls: Ensure the controls are secure and start, run, and shut off correctly.
- Keep moving parts lubricated: Motors, blowers, and fan blades should be lubricated regularly to ensure they run smoothly and efficiently.
- Check electrical connections: When checking your electrical connections, ensure they are in good shape and tightened appropriately. There should be no loose connections. You also want to check to ensure there are no faulty connections and check for current and voltage.
