Your Commercial Guide to Spring HVAC Maintenance

Businesses rely on quality HVAC systems to keep their commercial buildings cool and comfortable throughout the brutal summer months. But considering most commercial air conditioners haven’t been activated since well-before winter, they require spring inspections and maintenance to ensure that they’re functioning at peak efficiency.

With summer quickly approaching, it’s crucial to get your heating and cooling system checked before the temperatures get too intense. Continue reading this article to learn more about commercial HVAC maintenance during the spring, including the following:

  • Why is spring HVAC maintenance needed?
  • HVAC tips to consider
  • What to inspect during spring HVAC maintenance

Why Is Spring HVAC Maintenance Necessary?

Spring is the best time to conduct maintenance on your commercial HVAC system—but it’s also necessary. The weather is just beginning to turn at the beginning of spring, but it’s not quite warm enough to warrant booting up your air conditioning. If you don’t undergo any HVAC preventative maintenance at all, there’s a chance your unit may not start properly when you need it the most. Even worse, it could break down in the middle of summer when it’s straining to keep your building cool. On the other hand, if you wait to schedule an HVAC service, there’s no telling how soon a provider can assist you, as summer is their busiest time of the year.

Scheduling your commercial HVAC maintenance in spring results in the smoothest experience and minimizes the chance of mid-summer breakdowns. Along with guaranteeing a cool building all summer long, recurring spring HVAC maintenance can bring the following benefits:

  • Optimizes unit efficiency: The more efficient your HVAC system is, the less energy expenditure it requires to function, which puts less strain on your unit and reduces energy bills.
  • Lengthens the life of your HVAC unit: Regular maintenance and repairs keep your HVAC in working order year-round, ensuring that it gets all the attention it needs to continue working at an optimal level without requiring a replacement.
  • Saves your company money on costly repairs: Minor repairs could become more significant issues without proper inspections, costing more money in the long run and possibly even entire system replacements.

Four Spring HVAC Tips to Consider

Aside from the maintenance itself, which needs to be conducted by a skilled professional, there are a few HVAC tips to improve cooling efficiency and make your life easier.

Replace Your Unit

If you’ve got an outdated HVAC system and have sunk a considerable amount of money into repairing it, it’s time to consider replacing it. Even with consistent maintenance, units need to be replaced occasionally. By replacing your current HVAC with a newer, more modern version, you could experience better cooling and reduced energy consumption—a professional can tell you if this is necessary.

Schedule Recurring HVAC Preventative Maintenance

Spring HVAC maintenance should be conducted every year for commercial units, as well as in the fall. However, many businesses neglect to schedule appointments regularly, leading to failing units and unnecessary repairs. Make a point of creating recurring inspections with your service provider to avoid preventable issues.

Perform Your Own Inspections

While you should leave most tasks to an HVAC technician, nothing is stopping you from performing your own basic inspections. Check the physical state of your outdoor HVAC system and clear away any obstructions that may have accumulated over winter. If you notice any apparent concerns, be sure to inform your technician.

Upgrade to Smart Thermostats

Upgrading your systems to include smart thermostats might be the best move to improve your HVAC efficiency. This would regulate your building’s internal temperature more accurately, improving energy efficiency, putting less strain on your system, and saving money in the process—and spring is the best time to install them

Scheduling recurring HVAC maintenance is extremely important to the comfort of your commercial facility, but finding a dedicated service provider can be challenging. If you’re in the New Hampshire area and want to learn more, read on.

What Needs to be Checked During HVAC Preventative Maintenance?

HVAC systems have many moving parts that keep them operating continuously and efficiently. Here are some of the most crucial aspects of a routine spring HVAC maintenance inspection that shouldn’t be overlooked.

  • Electrical Connections: Loose electrical connections can be potentially hazardous and prevent your unit from functioning, but checking your unit’s voltage can determine if it is getting the proper amount.
  • Air Filters: Replacing air filters in the spring improves indoor air quality and reduces contaminants, giving you the best possible experience.
  • Unit Components: Inspect the internal components of an HVAC unit to identify any needed repairs, replacements, or lubrication. Components include blowers, condensers, coils, compressors, ignition burners, heat exchangers, valves, and more.
  • Thermostat Settings: The easiest way to identify any problems is by booting up an HVAC unit. Check the thermostat setting and ensure it can start up, run, and shut down without any issues or indications of failing.
  • Refrigerant: Refrigerant levels should always remain within specific parameters, never falling too low or being overfilled. This results in the best cooling for your building without straining the unit.
  • Drain Lines: Clean and functioning condensate drain lines are required for water and vapor to drain away from your HVAC unit properly. Checking them at the beginning of spring can minimize the risk of damaging your unit.
  • Air Ducts: Ducts must be clear of any obstructions to conduct airflow to your building. Regular maintenance can prevent a buildup of dirt and grime that blocks airways. They also perform air tests to determine if your ducts have any leaks that could weaken the cooling process.

A knowledgeable HVAC service can check all elements of your unit to get it ready in time for upcoming heat. Now all you have to do is find a provider that works well with your business.
