COMMERCIAL AC MAINTENANCE

COMMERCIAL AC MAINTENANCE

At Snell Precision Cooling, we have been working with HVAC systems for over 30 years, so we know this business. In that time we have developed the most effective strategies for keeping commercial AC systems running stronger and longer. That is why we are the number one choice in Broward County and Palm Beach County for commercial AC maintenance. A routine air conditioning maintenance will help prolong the life of your system, saving you money on a replacement. Maintaining your system will also ensure proper operation and cleanliness and will alert you of possible malfunctions before they become big problems.

Cleanliness is extremely important because dirt and dust build up can lead to equipment malfunction. When the dust and other particles are constantly pulled through your system, they may clog areas that will lead to your AC overworking and therefore overheating. Another important thing to keep in mind is regular maintenance will support your effort in meeting the manufacturer warranty requirements.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

Dirty filters will cause your equipment to work harder than it should. This results in energy waste and even possible internal damage to the unit. Cleaning or replacing filters is a simple yet extremely effective way to keep your system running at peak performance. Periodically, place your thermostat on HEAT and move the temperature setting above room temperature. Listen for any unusual sounds that are of concern. All of the return registers and grilles should be kept free of obstructions such as furniture, dirt and debris. This will hinder proper air flow.

Improving indoor air quality starts with cleaning your humidifier reservoir regularly. Cleanliness of your humidifier will prevent build up of mold and mildew. Unrestricted air flow to the outdoor unit is extremely important. Remove trash leaves, grass and tree trimmings that are in close proximity. Any debris that collects around the unit will cause your unit to work harder than intended, resulting in using more energy and higher utility bills.

The outdoor coil on a heat pump or air conditioner can become obstructed by dust, leaves and yard trimmings. You can use a garden hose and apply gentle water pressure over the coil to remove any blockages. Be sure and run water in a downward motion. A heat pump or air conditioner should sit level. If you notice a shifting or settling of the ground in which your unit sits, re-level. Moisture and water must drain properly from the condensing unit.
