Commercial HVAC Maintenance

How Often Should You Schedule HVAC Maintenance?

Routine HVAC maintenance is essential for keeping your system running smoothly. Most commercial systems should be serviced at least twice a year—once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. This schedule helps identify potential issues before they become costly problems and ensures optimal performance year-round.

However, certain industries may require more frequent maintenance. Restaurants, healthcare facilities, and industrial buildings often demand additional servicing due to higher usage and stricter air quality regulations. Regular inspections and cleanings tailored to your specific business needs will help extend equipment life and maximize efficiency.

Remember: It only takes a few missed maintenance sessions for small problems to transform into larger, costly HVAC issues.

Does AC Coil Cleaning Boost HVAC Efficiency?

Commercial HVAC and general AC maintenance isn’t just about compliance and saving yourself from spending on future repairs. HVAC maintenance can boost your system’s overall efficiency, which will save you money from month to month.

Cleaning AC coils significantly improves HVAC efficiency. Over time, dirt and debris accumulate on the condenser and evaporator coils, restricting airflow and making it harder for your system to transfer heat effectively. This forces the system to work harder, increasing energy consumption and utility costs.

Regular coil cleaning helps maintain peak efficiency, reduces strain on the compressor, and extends the lifespan of your HVAC unit. It also enhances indoor air quality by preventing the buildup of mold and contaminants. Investing in routine coil cleaning is a simple yet highly effective way to improve performance and lower energy expenses.
