FAQs
Commercial HVAC systems should typically be inspected at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to prepare for peak cooling and heating seasons. However, more frequent inspections may be necessary for high-use or critical systems.
The maintenance tasks should be performed by qualified HVAC technicians or facilities maintenance personnel with appropriate training and certifications. Some basic checks can be done by facility managers, but complex tasks require professional expertise.
Key components typically include air filters, belts, motors, compressors, condensers, evaporators, thermostats, electrical connections, refrigerant levels, ductwork, and safety controls.
By ensuring all components are clean, properly lubricated, and functioning optimally, the HVAC system operates more efficiently, consuming less energy. Regular maintenance also helps identify and address issues that could lead to increased energy consumption.
