Common Commercial Heating System Problems - And What To Do

-


It’s very important that commercial heating systems are working at their optimal capacity and efficiency through the New Jersey winter – without them, many businesses would have to shut down completely. These systems work really hard to keep us warm and comfortable in even the most bitter weather, but if they aren’t maintained properly or are getting old, they can start to develop serious problems and cost a lot of money to run. Here are the most common issues to watch for, from a leading NJ commercial HVAC contractor.

  • Icing over: One most common type of commercial heating system is a heat pump, and when the outdoor unit responsible for providing thermal energy to warm the air ices over, your building is going to lose its heat supply. Icing over is usually prevented by a built-in defrosting cycle and if this fails your heating system will start circulating cold air.
  • Faulty ductwork: If your ductwork is very old or was installed by a contractor without the right experience or skills, you’re going to find that your heating system is delivering warm air only to certain parts of the building or failing to heat anywhere properly. This can be caused by cracks, holes and damage to the ducting itself, or disconnection. It’s always best to get an experienced commercial HVAC contractor,  in this case, to examine the ductwork and come up with a viable solution.
  • Electrical faults: Like ductwork and air filters, electrical components like wiring and switches suffer from wear-and-tear over time. These systems consume a huge amount of electricity, and this can lead to problems within the systems’ start and run capacitors. These malfunctions can easily create problems throughout the system and have to be fixed quickly or – even better – prevented through regular routine maintenance.
  • Refrigerant leaks: Refrigerant is responsible for transporting thermal energy around the heating system. When the system is installed, the contractor will ensure that there is sufficient Freon in the system to create a continuous cycle. If a leak occurs, the refrigerant levels will drop, and this usually manifests in the heating system slowly failing to cope with demand over time.


How to Fix Problems with Commercial Heating Systems 


Due to the complex and expensive nature of these systems, it is important not to try and attempt to repair them yourself, as this can result in even more costly repairs.

Professional Boiler Services Keep Your Business Running Smoothly

A proper heating system is essential for every commercial building, including factories and industrial sites, and having the correct  boiler system installed  and maintained by specialists is key to operational efficiency and minimal downtime. But all commercial Boiler service companies are not created equal. Levels of expertise, experience, access to specialized equipment, responsiveness, and integrity when considering repair or replace, are also critical. What to look for in your commercial boiler contractors  Commercial and industrial experience:  If you need an existing system maintained, repaired or upgraded, or a new system built from the ground up, residential boiler specialists simply won’t be able to help you – you need a partner who understands the demands of commercial heating systems. This is because scale isn’t the only factor at play – commercial systems have to work harder, have a role beyond just heating in many businesses, and often requi...

Common HVAC Pump Problems And Their Solutions

Hydronic pumps are a critical part of your commercial HVAC system’s operation, keeping your building cool in summer and warm in winter. Here are some of the most common problems with this unit that we’ve dealt with at our  commercial HVAC company in NJ,  and how to solve them. Cavitation:  This occurs when there is too much air in the liquid that flows through the system and can lead to increased wear-and-tear of the pump and damage to the impeller. Vibration: Excessive vibration can be caused by out-of-balance equipment, bad bearings, an unbalanced rotor, bent shaft or a clogged impeller. The pump will have to be checked as it may have worn out, or your system will require lubrication, replacement bearings, impeller adjustment or an adjustment of the flow speed. The pump is too big: HVAC equipment is often selected without considering the size of the area the system is servicing. An oversized pump will start up and shut down more than it is designed to do beca...
