Your tenants heavily depending on the HVAC system in your business building to attain indoor comfort. For this to happen, you should take precautionary measures to keep the unit working properly, efficiently and at the lowest possible cost. The catch lies in regular preventative maintenance as it is the only viable way to keep your commercial HVAC unit performing at its best.

And we are going to help you precisely with that. Here are some ways to maintain the HVAC unit in your business building to sustain performance, reduce costs, and increase equipment lifespan.

Check and Change Air Filters

The air filters in your commercial HVAC system help cleaning the air inside the facility. They also have a vital role to play in contributing to the airflow the system needs to operate sufficiently. If you have dirty air filters, rest in knowing the commercial HVAC unit will struggle to operate. Ensure the filters are checked at least once a month and changed when they get dirty.

Clean the Exterior Unit

The outdoor unit of the commercial HVAC system needs to be cleaned and kept free of any material that could hinder airflow. If leaves, grass, dirt, sticks, or any other material accumulates in the exterior unit, be sure to remove them from the vents and around the unit. Things are no different for surrounding vegetation such as trees or shrubs since they should also be trimmed to allow plenty of open space around the outdoor unit.

Avoid Blockages 

Make sure the supply and return vents are not blocked by furniture or any other material that could interfere with proper airflow. You’re better off leaving the maintenance tasks and procedures to commercial HVAC professionals as they best know what to do. This is the opportune time to make repairs, corrections or calibrations that are necessary to system performance.

By employing the above and other tips, you will certainly have your commercial HVAC unit performing at its best long enough. That’s what you need to ensure the overall indoor comfort of your tenants.
