To prepare your commercial HVAC system for the fall season, here are tips you should follow.
The fall season has officially begun! For business owners, part of preparing for the new season involves getting your commercial HVAC system prepared for the change in temperatures. It won’t be long before the harsh cold of winter comes around, and you’ll want your HVAC system ready to keep your interior comfortable. We’ve discussed ways to get HVAC systems fall-ready in the past, but there are other tips that you’ll want to take into consideration as well. To prepare your commercial HVAC system for the fall season, here are tips you should follow.
Check and Clean Outdoor Units
Your commercial HVAC system is going to have an outdoor unit. This unit will collect debris as time passes, and this debris can impact its performance. Clearing away this debris will keep your commercial HVAC system as efficient as possible. You should also look for other signs of wear and tear while you’re at it.
Test the System Controls
Make sure that all of your system controls are working as they should. It’s possible that the settings may need to be adjusted for the fall season. If this is the case, make the necessary adjustments so that your business is ready for changes in outdoor temperature.
Inspect the Heating Components
Since temperatures are now dropping, you want to be able to heat your business to keep employees and customers comfortable. That’s why it’s important to test your heating elements in advance to ensure that they’re working properly. It’s good to inspect your furnace or boiler to see if there are any problems with it. If there are problems, you’ll want to reach out to a professional HVAC contractor so they can diagnose and resolve the issues for you before winter arrives.
Get Your Ductwork Sealed
You also want to be sure that there are no leaks in your ductwork. If you do find leaks, you want to get those leaks sealed up. Proper insulation is vital for your commercial HVAC system. Otherwise, the energy efficiency of your unit will be significantly hindered.
