When the HVAC system in a business or commercial property breaks down, it can cause everything to come to a screeching halt. Stores might need to close. Tenants might need to be put up in hotels! The financial impact goes far beyond the cost of repairing the HVAC system itself. That’s why it’s estimated that the average cost of an HVAC failure to a business owner is around five thousand dollars!
This is not something you should have to face. And with a little planning on your part, you can dramatically decrease the risk of anything going wrong with your HVAC system. Simply schedule regular commercial HVAC maintenance. The benefits are incredible. Here are the details.
Reduce the Risk of Repairs
Up to 85% of potential repair needs can be avoided by making sure that your commercial HVAC system stays well-maintained. This is because maintenance involves cleaning, which eliminates grit to cut wear and tear and gets rid of dust to keep air circulating through the system properly. It also involves meticulously checking over all components, so tiny problems can be remedied before they turn into serious issues.
Extend the Life of the System
With reduced wear and tear, maximized airflow, and tiny issues like damaged components or loose or misaligned parts being addressed promptly, your HVAC system will be under less strain. It won’t have to run as much of the time. This means that it will keep running for more heating and cooling seasons, allowing you to postpone—perhaps for many years—the tremendous cost of commercial HVAC replacement.
Boost Efficiency
When a system has to work harder or run more of the time, it consumes more energy in order to do so. That means that your dust and grime, lack of lubrication, or miscalibrated parts cost you money every time you pay your utility bills. A well-maintained HVAC system is an efficient HVAC system. It only uses the energy that’s absolutely necessary to get the job done.
Increase Comfort
An inefficient, struggling system simply won’t be able to provide the ideal, even heating and cooling that your clients, customers, and tenants deserve. With regular maintenance, you won’t just pay less for energy, you’ll get more comfort from the energy you are consuming. The temperature will be more consistent, and people will be happier to spend their time (and their money) in your building.
Comply with Your Warranty
The warranty agreement that covered your HVAC system when it was first installed may still be in place. But you should know that AC and heating system warranties usually require that the system be maintained by licensed professionals. Don’t void your warranty! Let the manufacturer be held accountable if something goes wrong. It could save you a lot of money.
