With summer in full swing, it is prime time for occupant discomfort, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Professional Commercial HVAC Inspection and Maintenance can be the difference between comfort and discomfort. And that is just the beginning. A professionally maintained HVAC system is also less prone to costly breakdowns and operates much more efficiently, saving you money on your monthly heating and cooling bills. So stop letting occupants take matters into their own hands. When occupants adjust wall thermostats in an effort to make their environment more comfortable, they throw off controls and cause unintended energy consumption. Instead of letting this happen, be proactive with your HVAC maintenance.
Commercial HVAC Maintenance Tips
- Indoor and Outdoor Building Sensors: It is important to calibrate the room thermostats, duct thermostats, humidistats, and pressure and temperature sensors in your building according to the original design specifications. This may require professional assistance.
- Damper and Valve Controls: Check pneumatically controlled dampers for leaks in the compressed-air hoses. It is also important to ensure that dampers open and close properly.
- Building Operating Schedules: Occupancy schedules can change a great deal over the life of a building. This is why it is so important to refine building operating schedules and HVAC controls in order to efficiently heat and cool the building during occupied hours.
- Utility Rate Schedule: If possible, run your equipment during off-peak hours using precooling and/or preheating strategies. This is a great way to save money on your utility bills.
- Chiller Tube and Water Treatment: Chiller tube cleaning and water treatment can help improve chiller system performance with better heat transfer.
- Tune-Ups: Having your HVAC system inspected and maintained at least on an annual basis will help ensure it runs at peak efficiency, reducing energy usage while minimizing costly breakdowns.
