Whether it’s your company headquarters, an industrial building, or a large warehouse for your business products, the heating and cooling system there plays a key role in the comfort of your business. This system is also an investment for your company, and you will want to make sure it runs well for a long time. Here are some expert tips from our team to help you maximize the life of your commercial HVAC system.
Never neglect professional maintenance.
Our experts often see problems with HVAC machines that could have been prevented with regular maintenance. One of the most vital steps in prolonging the life of your HVAC system's life is staying on top of routine maintenance. Our experienced and licensed HVAC technicians will assess the system’s performance, check refrigerant levels, run an energy efficiency check, and perform necessary tune-ups. We recommend annual maintenance for machine. Doing so helps identify potential problem spots before they escalate, ensuring that your system operates efficiently all year long.
Ensure your ductwork is flowing properly.
Vents and ducts should always be clean and unobstructed. This allows for air to flow throughout your space freely and the machine won’t need to work harder than necessary to do its job.
Replace air filters regularly.
Air filters aren’t huge, but their job is! In fact, they play a critical role in maintaining great indoor air quality and system efficiency. It’s very important to clean or replace your air filters every month or every other month – depending on usage and type of area the machine operates in. For example, if you operate a business that has a lot of dust or other air pollution, you should clean or replace the filter more often. Clogged or dirty filters will reduce airflow over time, but they can also cause the system to overwork. This leads to unnecessary wear and tear.
Reap the benefits of a programmable thermostat.
Did you know that programmable thermostats can increase the lifespan of your commercial HVAC system? They allow you to set appropriate temperature ranges and keep the system from running excessive cycles, which can strain the internal parts. During your tune-up appointment, talk to our HVAC technician about optimal temperature ranges based on your type of business, how often the space is occupied, and seasonal changes. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, we can install one for you! These products work alongside most existing HVAC systems.

With the warmer months of summer on their way, you’ll want to ensure your machine is working at its peak, so you and your team can stay comfortable all season long.
