How Extreme Winter Temperatures Affect Your Commercial HVAC System

-


It’s not unusual for winters in the tristate area to take a turn for the worse, and locals are well-aware of the toll of harsh weather. Large commercial structures like office buildings, apartment buildings, schools and retail centers are hit especially hard when it comes to climate control and energy efficiency. Here are some factors to keep in mind during the winter, from commercial HVAC specialists.

Snow and Ice Buildup on Rooftop Heat Pump Units 


Not all snow or ice on your rooftop unit is an emergency, heat pump units have a defrost cycle in place to handle normal winter operating conditions. When extreme weather hits, however, heavy snow and ice buildup can block outdoor coils to the unit, causing the defrost cycle to run longer. This will strain the system and spike energy usage. It’s therefore important that the area around your rooftop unit is kept clear of ice and snow as much as possible.

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.

An oversized pump will start up and shut down more than it is designed to do beca...
