Winter Energy Efficiency & Maintenance Tips from a Professional Commercial HVAC Service
Create a preventive maintenance schedule.
Drawing up a maintenance agreement with a professional commercial HVAC service is an excellent way to keep your system running at full capacity. Not only will this ensure all seasonal checkups are done, but having such an agreement in place does mean you will get priority service should any equipment failure or other problems occur. Identifying issues early will prevent problems from occurring at the worst possible time, like on the coldest part of the year. Planning ahead will help expedite acquiring parts and avoid increased expenses.
Calibrating thermostats.
Determine what the best settings are for your property and stick to them. As the bitter winter months fast approach, get a professional commercial HVAC technician to come in and calibrate all the thermostats in your system. Should thermostats be too far off from each other, then your system will not be as efficient as it could be, or worse, simultaneous heating and cooling may happen.
Leaks and equipment failures.
Building owners and operations directors, especially, should work with their HVAC consultants to identify different ways to make their facilities more safe and efficient. Heating is usually the biggest use of fuel in commercial buildings and a good place to look for safety hazards and savings in energy. It is important to make sure there are no holes in your systems heat exchanger and all the tubes and orifices are debris free.
Making sure economizers work properly.
The chances are great that your HVAC system comes with an economizer, this is a component which allows your unit to use exterior air for cooling, provided that the ambient air is below a certain temperature, plus, the humidity is below a certain percentage. This kind of cooling is sometimes called free cooling, due to the fact it cools the building without using energy to run a compressor.
