6 Ways To Improve Your Commercial Air Conditioning Maintenance

Did you know that Australians spend a collective $3.7 billion on air conditioning bills during the summer season? 

Air conditioning has become an absolute necessity during the blistering summer heat. While the air conditioners keep your environment cool, the energy costs should keep you comfortable too. 

Commercial air conditioning systems are expensive to install, and should therefore be well-maintained. 

Maintenance of commercial air conditioning systems ensures they work efficiently and utilize minimum electricity. They also make sure that your HVAC lasts longer, and you spend the least amount of money on the repairs.

Homedeal Air Conditioning provides commercial air conditioning maintenance in Brisbane, so you never have to worry about a malfunction. 

How To Maintain A Commercial Air Conditioner?

Commercial air conditioners require a yearly inspection from a professional air conditioner service provider. Commercial air conditioning systems are extensive and a lot of people are reliant on them. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of these systems. Following are 6 things an air conditioner maintenance professional will ensure during their inspection.

1. Guarantee Clean Air Filters

The air filters in your HVAC are there to filter out any dust, hair, or other particles from the air you breathe. In performing their job they become clogged and block the airflow from the air conditioner’s vent. In an effort to push the air out, the AC uses more energy and your energy costs rise as a result.

Cleaning the air filters, or replacing them every 3 months will not only bring down your energy costs but also make sure your HVAC system lasts longer. 

2.   Cleanliness Of Outdoor Units

Air conditioning units placed outside accumulate all kinds of debris, from dust to tree leaves. The outdoor unit has fins that collect a lot of dirt and the air conditioner, therefore, becomes unable to exchange heat with the atmosphere. 

On hot summer days when the air conditioner is being used excessively, it can even cause the air conditioner to break down. 

Save yourself the hassle and schedule a commercial air conditioning maintenance in Brisbane every spring. So, your air conditioner is ready to take up the load for the coming summer. 

3. Cleaning Condenser Coils

When the air filters are clogged, they cause dirt to form on the condenser coils. This forms insulation covering over the condenser coils, which affects the capacity of condenser coils to absorb heat from the surroundings. 

As a result, the air conditioner uses more energy and becomes inefficient. An air conditioning service is necessary for this situation.

4.  Cleaning Air Ducts

Clogged air ducts can restrict the airflow of your air conditioners. Consequently, extra energy is required to cool down the room.

Cleaning the air ducts not only improves the energy efficiency of your HVAC but also helps remove harmful allergens from the duct. Dirty air ducts can also cause a musty smell when you use the air conditioner. 

People from an efficient Commercial air conditioning maintenance in Brisbane can vacuum your air ducts and save you from all the hazards that soiled air ducts might cause. 

5. Damaged Air Ductwork

Your air conditioning ductwork has a life of ten years. After that, it might become dented, or develop holes in it. The ductwork can also get damaged if there’s a pest infestation or something heavy leans over it. 

Damaged ductwork with broken seals and joints can result in uneven cooling throughout the building. It will also cause your HVAC system to exert more force to push maximum air out of the vents and maintain a comfortable temperature because the air would leak out of the holes.

The signs of damaged ductwork are loud noises when the air conditioner is turned on or a foul odor due to pest infestation.  

For commercial areas, regular ductwork inspection is necessary. In case your air duct installation happened about a decade ago, you should get a complete replacement of the ductwork by professionals. 

6. Blocked Vents

When you get commercial air conditioning maintenance in Brisbane, the professional will make sure there is proper airflow in your HVAC systems. The professionals will check if any vent is blocked.

A blocked vent is a potential hazard. When the vents have blocked the air from the HVAC system keeps pushing against them, large pressures build-up, up as a result, causing damage to the air conditioner’s heat exchange system. The formed pressure can also cause the ductwork to burst and cause leakage. This also leads to carbon monoxide expulsion. 

This is extremely dangerous, and therefore, a technician would always make sure during a maintenance inspection that the vents aren't blocked due to rugs or furniture.

How Often Should You Call Maintenance For Commercial Air Conditioners?

Commercial air conditioners should be serviced every spring before the summer starts. So they can be thoroughly checked for any repairs. However, the air filters require a more frequent cleaning service or replacement. An air filter should ideally be replaced every three months. 

Cleaning of the outdoor units is also dependent upon the area your business is located. If your area is more dusty and dry, you would need a more frequent cleaning service. 

When Should You Replace Your HVAC System?

Ideally, you should upgrade your HVAC system every ten years. That’s because it loses its efficiency over time and gives higher electricity costs. Also, air conditioners with better technology and efficiency reach the market in this period.
