Spring has finally arrived! As a commercial business owner, you need to make certain your property remains comfortable throughout the season. Ensuring the HVAC system is in top shape helps ensure consistent temperatures and good indoor air quality for your tenants and employees. The best way to do this is to schedule a spring maintenance checkup with a trusted contractor like All Seasons, Inc. Meanwhile, here’s a checklist to prepare your commercial HVAC system for spring.
Check for refrigerant leaks. Your commercial HVAC units should have the right charge, or amount of refrigerant, to capture and release indoor heat. This is crucial if you want the indoor areas of your commercial property to stay cool and comfortable, so make sure that a professional technician checks your system’s refrigerant levels. They’ll also look for any signs of leaks and make the necessary repairs so that they won’t affect your system’s overall performance.
Change the air filters and clean indoor components. Your HVAC system won’t perform efficiently if it has dirty filters. Fortunately, replacing them with new ones is one of the easiest maintenance tasks you can do. This should be done regularly to keep the indoor air clean and safe to breathe. We recommend keeping a stack of new air filters in the utility room or closet so that they’ll be within reach whenever you need them.
In addition, your HVAC system’s indoor components shouldn’t be ignored, so make sure that they’re cleaned thoroughly. Pay attention to the evaporator coils, control panels and so on. Moving parts such as blower fans should be cleaned and lubricated regularly as well.
Check and clear debris from your drain lines. Over time, mineral deposits may build up in your HVAC system’s condensate drain lines. As such, they should be checked and cleared of dirt and grime so that moisture can flow freely without any obstructions. Also, consider applying an algaecide to prevent algae growth from blocking your drains.
