Manage Your Overhead Costs with Planned HVAC Maintenance

Whether you own a small business or run a large facility, managing your overhead costs is crucial to financial stability. Unforeseen emergency repairs can cause havoc on your budget, especially if they result in downtime for your business. Keeping your HVAC system in top condition is one way to avoid expensive repairs and inconvenient downtime. Planned HVAC maintenance should be part of your business plan to effectively manage your overhead costs.

Imagine your HVAC failing on the hottest or coldest day of the year. What kind of issues could that cause for your business? In an industrial setting, high heat from equipment must be tampered with cooler air for a safe work environment. An HVAC failure can put a stop to productivity, costing much more than just repair. Often these HVAC failures could have been prevented with routine maintenance and inspections, saving you time and money off emergency repairs during the peak climate seasons.

The best plan of action is to find a local commercial HVAC company that offers comprehensive maintenance plans for your HVAC system. With planned, year-round maintenance, many breakdowns can be avoided. With scheduled inspections and preventive services, small issues can be fixed before they lead to complete system failures Some HVAC companies also offer maintenance plans that cover repairs as well as regular service, making it easier to plan for your HVAC costs.

Don’t let a HVAC breakdown put a large dent in your business’ budget with excessive overhead costs. Find a reliable HVAC company that specializes in commercial systems and offers a maintenance program that will keep your business climate-controlled all year round.

5 Tips to Reduce A/C Energy Costs

You may be thankful for your air conditioning when the temperatures skyrocket during the summer, but you may also be less than thrilled when your electricity bill comes. Keeping your home climate-controlled can account for at least half of your energy bill, costing a small fortune each month. As the days get hotter, your energy bill can get out of control. Here are 5 tips to help minimize your energy costs while still enjoying the benefits of A/C.

  1. Close your shades during the day. Use your window treatments to reduce sunshine and heat in your home by closing drapes or blinds in the morning.
  2. Use a programmable thermostat. If you have a programmable thermostat, use it. If you don’t have one, this is a good investment. Program your A/C for higher temps when you are away from home or during the night when you are sleeping.
  3. Invest in outdoor shade. Shading your home can have a big impact on your inside temps. Planting trees to shade from the afternoon sun can help reduce cooling costs. Outdoor awnings that shade windows and your A/C unit are also good investments.
  4. Schedule regular maintenance. Keeping your A/C unit in top condition can help reduce energy costs while preventing breakdowns. Schedule regular service at least twice a year.
  5. Use fans. Even with A/C, fans can offer a cooling effect as they circulate the air and the movement cools your skin. You can set the A/C temp higher while still enjoying a cooler home.

If you have an older A/C unit, this can also contribute to higher energy costs. You may want to consider investing in a newer, more energy efficient unit that could pay for itself with lower electricity costs.
