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.

A good commercial HVAC contractor is more than a company that you call when things start going wrong in your building – they’re a partner who works with you to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for employees, clients and tenants. Here are some tips on finding a HVAC contractor that can be relied on for professional, expert service and advice. Essential paperwork:  One of the very first steps in this process is ensuring that the company has the correct permits and licensing from the state or municipality, and that they are in possession of a contract license surety bond. This ensures that the contractor is qualified and protects you against unfair dealings or if something goes wrong. It’s also important that your contractor has worker’s compensation insurance in case a worker is injured while working on your property. Don’t accept a quote over the phone:  Every building and HVAC system is unique, and there is simply no way to get an accurate grasp on what needs to be do

Don’t Make These Mistakes When Hiring a Commercial Contractor  You don’t know what you need:  Of course, your HVAC contractor should be able to do a full assessment of your system and advise you on repairs or upgrades, but it’s important that you have an informed idea of the services you are seeking. Are you making energy-efficiency a priority? Is your system making strange noises and emitting unpleasant smells? What is your budget? You don’t get multiple quotes:  Unless you have industry experience, it’s very difficult to tell when a quote is reasonable or not, which makes getting multiple quotes essential.
