Commercial HVAC Issues That Might Demand Attention This Summer

Summer HVAC Maintenance

As the summer season heats up, you will want to ensure your HVAC system is up to the challenge.

​Watch Out for Refrigerant Leaks

​Any time you have a leak in your air conditioning system, problems can develop. A loss of refrigerant deprives your system of the fluid it needs to keep your building nice and cool. Signs of a refrigerant leak become more evident as the problem worsens:

• The system kicks on more frequently
• The unit is less effective in cooling the building
• The electrical bills increase
• The unit has visible leaks

The problem will only worsen with time, and it will eventually result in the breakdown of your HVAC system. Our technicians can come to your facility and repair the leak, returning your system to optimal efficiency.

Keep an Eye on Low Output

​Whenever your system seems to be laboring more than usual, it is probably a good time for a service call. Low output of cool air indicates a problem. It could be a clogged air filter or a problem with the air handler. If your system shuts down before completing its cooling cycle, this could signify an electrical issue. This should be addressed quickly to preserve the integrity of the HVAC system.
