How Often To Schedule Commercial HVAC Maintenance

Your business in Lehigh County, PA, depends on a properly functioning heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. With everything running a business entails, the last thing you need is an HVAC malfunction that would require you to shut your doors. Routine maintenance prevents many heating and cooling problems. It also improves the HVAC system’s efficiency. Here’s what you need to know about how often to schedule maintenance on your commercial HVAC system.

Schedule Semi-Annual Tune-Ups

All types of commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment need a semi-annual tune-up. Plan a springtime tune-up of the air conditioning system and an autumn tune-up of the heating system. If you have a separate air filtration, dehumidification, or other type of ventilation system, it should also have a tune-up at least twice per year.

Arrange an Inspection Once Per Quarter

Your commercial heating and cooling system is essential to keeping your employees comfortable, safe, and healthy. It’s also critical to your ability to keep your doors open for customers. We recommend a quarterly inspection. During the inspection, our technicians check all the safety systems, control panel, and thermostat settings. We also check the flue for obstructions. For air conditioning systems, we verify the refrigerant level and inspect the condensate drains.

Examine the Equipment Weekly

Many commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems have a computer control system. Review its messages on a regular basis. If anything unusual comes up, it’s important to call commercial HVAC technicians for guidance. Even if you don’t change the thermostat or control board settings, examine the equipment weekly. Make sure the mechanical rooms are kept clean and secure at all times.
