Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. The long holiday weekend represents the beginning of summer, even if the seasons won’t actually shift until June 21st, the summer solstice. That being said, the time has come for preparing your commercial HVAC systems for the summer. Property managers of any sort of commercial property will greatly benefit from the following these procedures to ensure their HVAC systems are ready for the heat of summer.
Clean Up The Air Filters in Commercial HVAC Systems
As the air filters are one of the most critical components in any HVAC system, be sure that they are cleaned regularly. Commercial HVAC systems in particular typically handle larger volumes of usage than non-commercial systems do, so this is an important to bear in mind. Filters help determine the effectiveness of airflow and also contribute to or contaminate the indoor air quality, or IAQ, of the building they belong to.
Clean Up the Air Ducts
It also bears repeating to clean up the air ducts. The air ducts are often left in hard-to-reach places, thus making maintenance or replacement even more difficult. Air ducts also contribute to the quality of airflow, but unfortunately are often regarded as a lower-priority type of repair to make. If you don’t happen to remember the last time your building’s air ducts were cleaned out, it’s probably a good indication that they should be cleaned again.
Run a Tune-Up On the Entire Commercial HVAC System
Part of ensuring all parts of commercial HVAC systems are functioning properly is running the correct tune-up procedures. Just as other machinery systems, such as cars, need periodic tune-ups, so do commercial HVAC systems. In the summer heat, you want to be sure all of your system equipment is working at maximum potential and remains energy efficient as well.
Attend to Forward-Thinking Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is they key to helping keep commercial HVAC systems in top shape all year long. Even small problems, or system bugs and glitches, could lead to devastating downtime.
