5 Smart Ways To Take Care Of Your Commercial HVAC System This Summer

Summer is when you need to use your HVAC system the most, which is why you need to make sure you are taking good care of your HVAC system this summer. When it comes to taking care of your HVAC system, it is all about maintenance.

Keep the Moving Parts Lubricated

There are a lot of moving parts on a commercial HVAC system. One of the best ways to take care of all of those moving parts is by keeping them well-lubricated. Take some basic lubrication and spray it onto all the moving parts. Don't saturate the moving parts with lubrication. Just add a little bit of lubrication in order to keep things moving smoothly.

Tighten Up Loose Connections

Next, you should tighten up all the loose connections on your system. Check all the bolts and nuts and make sure they are tight. Then, check all the electrical connections, and make sure they are tight as well. Before doing any work on anything electrical, make sure the system is turned off.

Keep the Refrigerant Charged

The refrigerant is what keeps your air conditioning system pumping out cool air. The refrigerant has to be charged in order to keep your air conditioning cold. You should have the refrigerant levels of your system checked before the summer and once throughout the summer in order to make sure your building stays cool. Nothing is worse than a stuffy office and overheated office workers.

Check the Air Filter

Next, you need to keep an eye on the air filter as well. You need to make sure you either change or clean the air filter on a regular basis. With a commercial building, when you are running your air conditioner constantly, you may need change the air filter or clean it once a month during the hottest months of the year.

Do a Safety Check

Finally, you are going to want to do a safety check on your air conditioning unit as well. Make sure that all the wires are properly connected. With a commercial HVAC unit, there are lots of parts that could get damaged, which is why a safety check is always necessary with a commercial HVAC unit.

You don't need to take care of all the maintenance for your HVAC system on your own. You can hire a professional to take care of all your AC maintenance needs this summer and throughout the year. Maintenance is the key to avoiding costly repairs to your commercial HVAC system.
