It’s the New Year and many building managers are deciding on their budgets to ensure the safe and efficient operation of their equipment for their commercial properties. Here’s why a commercial HVAC maintenance plan should be on the list. It’s sometimes hard to tell when maintenance is required:  Commercial HVAC systems are difficult to evaluate from the outside, as units are well sealed and ductwork is hidden away in the ceilings and recesses of the building. As a building manager, this means that without a preventative maintenance check or HVAC service, the only time you can tell your system isn’t working properly is when something has already gone wrong – which is more expensive and increases downtime in the long run. It increases the lifespan of your system:  There are many aspects of preventative maintenance, including cleaning and lubricating moving parts. Without this attention, these parts will wear faster, needing replacement sooner than they should. This can...

If you’re noticing an unexpected spike in your building’s energy costs, this might be why: Lack of preventative maintenance:  When was the last time your commercial HVAC system or  boiler  was serviced? Buildings might be able to get away with missing a few services, but when the maintenance catches up it can be severe. These systems are very complex and can start taking serious strain without regular maintenance, causing increased running costs, reduced efficiency and poor output. Your thermostat settings aren’t optimal:  If your thermostat isn’t programmable or is set just a few degrees higher than it needs to be, you can expect a big increase in your energy bill. It’s a good idea to check these settings and consider getting a programmable thermostat for your heating systems and HVAC, as these give you far greater ...
