How to Maintain your Commercial HVAC System's Efficiency

-


When you’re managing the operations of a building, efficiency is name of the game. Companies are driving their property to work as hard as the people they employ, pushing for lower operational costs and good environmental practices – and that means that the pressure is on to optimize building efficiency. While some companies have the resources to commission smart buildings and net zero operations, others are simply looking for ways to upgrade or improve current features to achieve an affordable level of efficiency. Regardless of your approach or the size of your building, one critical area in which to focus your efforts is your commercial HVAC system. Here are some insights from leading commercial HVAC contractors in NJ.

Know How Your Commercial HVAC and Commercial Ventilation System Works 


Generally, commercial HVAC systems operate in the following way. The units have condenser coils which are responsible for removing heat from the areas the unit is cooling. This is achieved by having air flow over the coils, pushed by a fan in the HVAC unit. The air is brought in from the outside environment, so it’s easy for dirt and dust to come in along with the air itself. This will start to coat and clog the condenser coils which will have to work harder to produce the same amount of cool air, forcing them to use more energy and impacting your utilities costs.

This can surprisingly happen quickly too, especially in city or industrial environments.  Studies have shown that an average airflow reduction of up to 95% can occur in just one year of operation. The result is an overworked HVAC system that is less energy efficient, more likely to breakdown or require repairs, resulting in a reduced lifespan.

Other elements of the HVAC system can also become damaged when debris block the airflow that carries excess heat away, causing the unit to run at a higher temperature and the refrigerant to heat up. This can also degrade refrigerant, shortening its lifespan even further.

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...
