Heating and cooling a commercial establishment can be expensive. A high-efficiency commercial HVAC system can make a substantial difference in your monthly costs. When compared with regular models, high-efficiency HVAC systems can slash heating and cooling expenses by a substantial percentage. In many cases, system owners have reported that the initial costs of a high-efficiency HVAC system can be recovered through those monthly savings alone by about the halfway point of the system’s expected useful lifespan.

Air filters provide two important functions in a commercial environment. One, they help clean your indoor air by trapping and holding particulates such as dust, pollen, fibers, and other material. Second, they contribute to sustaining the airflow your HVAC system needs to function correctly. Dirty, clogged filters will block this airflow and prevent your HVAC equipment from working properly. In the worst cases, dirty filters can even contribute to damage to the system.

In general, air filters should be checked every month and changed when they get dirty. If your commercial activities produce more particulates and airborne contaminants than usual, it will probably be necessary to check and change filters more often, perhaps even weekly.

Preventive maintenance is another element of HVAC system care that will contribute substantially to equipment function. Regular maintenance ensures that your commercial HVAC system will work at its best for as long as possible. It sustains the efficiency of your HVAC equipment and preserves those monthly savings you expect from a high-efficiency system. It helps prevent breakdowns and system malfunctions that could lead to costly repairs or even complete system replacements.

Call your trusted local HVAC service provider for a preventive maintenance appointment at least once a year for each type of system. In general, it’s best to have heating systems maintained in the fall and cooling systems in the spring. Since commercial HVAC systems work harder than residential systems, it may be necessary to have maintenance performed more often. Consult with your HVAC pro for advice.

The ductwork in your commercial HVAC system carries heated and cooled air to the inside of your building. Since all of the conditioned air passes through the ductwork, this network of pipes should also be inspected and maintained regularly. Air leaks in the ductwork can account for a substantial loss of energy and money. To prevent these leaks, duct sections must be kept in good repair and should be fitted tightly together. Connections should be sealed with mastic, a specialized sealant for ducts, or with metal tape.
