Finding the Right Commercial HVAC Maintenance Plan

March 13th, 2016 Posted in Commercial HVAC Service & Repair
Comments Off on Finding the Right Commercial HVAC Maintenance Plan

If you own or manage a large commercial business or building, maintenance is a constant concern, especially when it comes to your HVAC system. Whether it is the air conditioning system keeping your business cool during the summer or your heating system taking the edge off the cold in the winter, you need your HVAC system to work seamlessly year round. The best way to ensure your system doesn’t interrupt your business’ productivity is to keep it well maintained. Here are a few tips to find the right commercial HVAC maintenance plan.

  • Find a comprehensive commercial HVAC contractor. You will want a HVAC service that offers maintenance, repair and new installation of commercial or industrial HVAC systems.
  • Economical flat fees for maintenance. To manage your commercial business’ budget, you need to manage costs. Find a HVAC service that offers flat fees for maintenance plans for your HVAC system that also cover needed repairs, reducing unexpected costs.
  • Emergency repairs. Although regular maintenance can help reduce the chance of emergency repairs on your HVAC system, you want a company that offers 24/7 emergency service, 365 days a year.
  • Commercial only. For the highest level of expertise for large systems, choose an HVAC service that specializes only in commercial and industrial HVAC systems. Those who do both commercial and residential may be spread thin during the busy months of the year.

Avoid costly downtime and major repairs with your commercial HVAC system by enrolling in an ongoing maintenance plan through a qualified HVAC service that meets these standards. Call your local HVAC services to find the right one to meet your company’s maintenance needs.

Comments Off on Commercial HVAC Control Systems

Today’s HVAC systems are quite remarkable when coupled with take of the art digital direct controls in their ability to provide outstanding comfort, while simultaneously reducing energy costs, due to the increased efficiency of the system.  Normally found on a wide variety of commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, these control systems are basically computer systems that constantly monitor a number of performance factors in the system, including, temperature, humidity, as well as such things as zone dampers and VAV boxes.  As the controls analyze the data, the system is constantly adjusting to stay within the custom set parameters programmed into the system to maximize performance.

One of the features of the system that is beneficial to the tenant or the building owner is for ability of the system to be automatically shut down or temperature settings adjusted, when the building is empty at night or on weekends.   The system wakes up and provides heating and cooling before people arriving for work and conditions the space based upon user-defined parameters.

When people leave at night the system significantly reduces the amount of cooling and heat flowing into the space.  The savings in energy costs are significant.  A feature that building managers will appreciate is the ability to log onto remotely to the system via an Internet connection and check the status of the system and do a variety of diagnostic functions.  This is particularly important to building engineers that are managing multiple buildings in different locations.  Integrated digital control systems are a key component in the maximizing the efficient use of any commercial, industrial or institutional HVAC system.

Uneven Temperatures In Office Buildings

August 13th, 2014 Posted in Commercial HVAC Service & Repair
Comments Off on Uneven Temperatures In Office Buildings

It’s a common complaint in many commercial or office buildings: one office is too hot, while another one is too cold. Sometimes both can be happening at the same time, making a remedy for the situation seem impossible to find. The problem can often be attributed to the fact that thermostat which regulates the air temperature for all the offices or rooms is located in one area of the building with either more or less exposure to the sun, sending too much hot or cold air to other areas of the building. 

Solutions For Uneven Temperatures

If you own or manage a building experiencing these types of fluctuations in heating or cooling, there are options which can fix the problem. Not only are these issues annoying for the workers in the building, it is also likely to be affecting monthly energy bills. Rooms or office which are too hot or too cold are wasting energy, in comparison to even temperatures throughout the building. 

The solutions to these types of recurring issues generally revolve around the existing system you have in place. Many buildings use a constant volume system, which is meant to be cost-effective, but can cause these types of temperature fluctuations when not properly installed. In addition, frustrated tenants may have tried to make their own modifications to their vents to divert air flow when it is too hot or too cold, compromising the whole system. 

To get your building back on an even heating or cooling schedule for all offices and areas of the building, call in your local commercial HVAC service company to inspect your system. It may be something simple and affordable to fix, making your tenants or employees happy while possibly even saving money on energy bills each month.

Why Does My Office Smell Moldy?

November 6th, 2012 Posted in Commercial HVAC Service & Repair
Comments Off on Why Does My Office Smell Moldy?

If you’ve got salespersons or other individuals who have been complaining about their office space smelling moldy, you might not think to call an HVAC contractor, but it is just who you should call. Look for a commercial HVAC service and repair contractor who specializes in air quality testing; not all of them do. 

Mold and pollutants can be circulated through a commercial building through the HVAC vents. This isn’t simply a matter of uncomfortable odors that you can try to cover up. Mold and pollutants in the air can be serious health hazards to your employees. If you seem to have a high amount of respiratory related health issues in your office, this may also indicate an air quality problem. As an employer, you are responsible for providing a healthy work environment for your employees, which includes the quality of air they are breathing everyday. If you are the owner of a building with tenants, you could be faced with serious liability issues if air quality issues are affecting your tenants, as well. 

If an air quality issue is identified by the HVAC contractor through their testing methods, the contractor can also work with you in developing a plan for determining the source of the problem and coming up with a plan for correcting the problem as well. 

Don’t ignore repeated complaints of negative odors in your building. It’s not worth risking the health of the occupants. Contact an HVAC contractor who is qualified to perform the air quality tests required.

Choosing a Commercial HVAC Service Company

Comments Off on Choosing a Commercial HVAC Service Company

As a commercial property owner, you are responsible for keeping your HVAC system properly heating and cooling your building. When their emergency issues or repairs needed, you need to have a commercial HVAC service and repair contractor on your contact list that you can count on to show up quickly and service your system in timely and professional manner.

Emergency service calls aren’t the only time you need an HVAC contractor. You should also be having your commercial HVAC systems inspected annually to keep your system running efficiently. For both of these types of services, emergency and routine maintenance, it is important to hire an HVAC service company that you can count on.

When interviewing HVAC service companies, request references that include other commercial clients which they service and follow through in calling those references. Ask about 24 hour emergency service. Is it a part of their service program?  How soon can you expect a response to an emergency service call, will it be minutes, hours or days?

Repair and maintenance bills are never fun to receive, but if you know what to expect ahead of time, that can help ease the pain. Be sure to ask about minimum service call charges and what their hourly rates are for routine repairs versus emergency service calls. Some HVAC service companies will provide reduced rates if you have an annual maintenance contract with them. Ask if the contractors you interview have this as an option or would consider a service contract with a lower rate.

Remember to ask for evidence of local and state licenses, as well as proof of liability and workers compensation insurance. Any professional HVAC company will have these items readily available for their clients.

Comments Off on Why You Need to Maintain Your Commercial HVAC System

Like anything mechanical, your commercial HVAC system requires regular maintenance to ensure that it works properly, has a reduced downtime and operates continually. When heat or air is lost, which is often because of an improperly installed and/or maintained commercial HVAC system, costly situations arise for the business or building owner.

In addition to the aforementioned benefits, a properly maintained commercial HVAC system will extend the HVAC system’s life. Unscheduled commercial HVAC service and  repairs are less likely if you have maintained your HVAC system since the moment it was installed.

Without a license, there are a number of things that you cannot do with your HVAC system; however, there are also plenty that you can do to maintain your system. For one, you can change filters on a regular basis while also cleaning indoor vents occasionally to avoid buildup. You can also make sure that there is nothing resting on the top of your outdoor unit. If you know how, you can clean the cooling coils regularly to avoid buildup. If you aren’t sure how, ask a HVAC technician to show you the basic steps.

Your HVAC system can remain operating at maximum efficiency while keeping your energy and your repair costs to a minimum by maintaining the system on a regular basis. If you ever have any problems with your HVAC system working properly or heating or cooling efficiently, then you want to call a commercial HVAC professional at your earliest convenience. Not only can a professional determine the problem and fix it, the HVAC technician can also perform tests and analyze data to determine ways that you can save money by improving the system’s efficiency.
