Do you hear strange sounds coming from your HVAC system? Maybe it’s time to call in an HVAC professional to check your cooling equipment. If left unattended, it might start to affect your tenants’ comfort and productivity.
Here are the top 5 most common commercial HVAC problems that you should know:
Neglected Maintenance
Minor HVAC system problems can turn into bigger repair costs. A system failure is also very likely to happen if it’s left unattended. If you don’t want it to occur to your equipment, then you need to hire an expert to identify and fix the issues. That way, your system will keep running in its best condition.
Clogged and Unclean Filters
Worn out and dirty filters force your air conditioner to work harder—increasing energy costs and reducing its longevity. Regular checking and periodic replacement of your filters will keep your HVAC system running in optimal condition. Additionally, it will improve the IAQ of your commercial building by removing dust and other air pollutants.
Refrigerant Leak
Refrigerants are liquid agents contained in the coils of an HVAC system that cool and dehumidify indoor air. If your system lacks refrigerant, then it can’t perform its job. This problem does not only leave your indoor air extremely hot and uncomfortable, but it also causes the condenser to work tirelessly—leading to incredibly expensive A/C complications.
Thermostat Breakdowns
When problems show up, it’s easy to assume that your HVAC system is the issue. However, the problem may only be with your thermostat. The thermostat is responsible for regulating the timing and amount of cold or hot air your system should produce. If it’s malfunctioning, you can suffer from irregular temperature fluctuations.
Poor Airflow
Before the heated or cooled air reaches the room from the vents, it will travel first through a series of ducts. Dampers regulate this by decreasing airflow and letting more conditioned air to go to other areas. If some areas cool or heat more quickly than the others, then it means the dampers are not balanced.
Knowing the common HVAC problems helps you stay on top of your HVAC maintenance. If you are proactive when it comes to your system, you can control energy consumption and costs, maximize productivity, and keep comfortable and happy.
