The Benefits of Commercial HVAC Maintenance

With the change of seasons comes time to review your HVAC and rooftop equipment. Just as you must remember to do Spring Cleaning, Fall Cleaning is equally important to avoid unnecessary commercial HVAC repairs. After running your HVAC system hard, to stay cool all summer, the full system and especially the filters, need to be cleaned and maintained before winter arrives and your customers need to warm up.

Happy Customers and Staff
In all seasons, a well-functioning HVAC system is crucial for comfortable customers and optimal dining experience. It is also important for keeping your kitchen staff happy and healthy. Maintaining the full system including the humidity levels helps keep your restaurant safe and prevents condensations, stickiness, and mold and mildew.

Keep It Clean
Mother Nature’s transition from summer to fall makes for windy days which stirs up dust, debris from birds and trees, and pollen that may degrade your foodservice operation’s indoor air quality. It is important to maintain a clean area surrounding HVAC units for optimal operation, allowing adequate air flow, preventing odors and dirt from getting into your kitchen or dining area. Make sure your maintenance workers regularly clean the HVAC system and have extra belts and filters on site.

Care Saves Money
Clogged filters strain your HVAC system and waste energy resulting in higher energy costs. The stress also is hard on the system and can severely lessen the life of expensive key components of your system. The strain can also cause it to breakdown or short circuit. From this, you can see that taking care of this equipment before there is trouble is a smart way to save your system and your hard-earned money.
