One of the most important parts of running a business is ensuring a comfortable environment. This has to do with more than making sure it is clean, bright, and quiet enough for your employees to be able to concentrate on their workloads. Whenever something goes wrong, it could indicate problems with your commercial HVAC. Here are some maintenance myths you need to learn more about, especially when it comes to evaluating the best service partner to work with.
Services
One of the easiest misconceptions to fall for is that the biggest maintenance firms provide the best service. This isn’t always true. Learn all you can about the partner you’re looking to worth with – and if you’re not sure, then get in touch with the experts at Crockett Facilities right away! We make sure we provide you with the same high-quality services every time you call on us.
Maintenance
It’s also easy to think that all commercial HVAC units are the same. That also must mean that they are all repaired and maintained the same way. Consider this for a moment: your office equipment, data center cooling systems, and thermostats all work differently. As such, they all have different maintenance needs and require different tools and methods to fix. Preventative maintenance is the key to ensuring a long, successful relationship between your company and your commercial HVAC system.
Inspections and Repairs
It’s another myth that installation and replacement of commercial HVAC systems is more valuable than timely inspections and maintenance. While installation and replacement are essential, it’s important to recognize the importance of regularly-scheduled inspections and repairs. These measures can prolong the lifespan of commercial HVAC systems, especially brand new systems that shouldn’t be encountering any problems yet.
New Commercial HVAC Systems
Unfortunately, even new commercial HVAC systems will run into problems – errors in installation, duct sizing, and operational speed, just to name a few. It’s a common pitfall many business owners believe to think that new systems won’t need maintenance right away. But neglecting problems or ignoring them only allows them to grow worse. This is why maintenance needs to be scheduled, even within the period covered by the warranty.
