Toronto’s first cold stretch isn’t the time to find out your boiler won’t fire, a rooftop unit has a weak ignition component, or the heat pump is struggling to switch into heating mode. After months of lighter use, commercial heating equipment can develop problems that aren’t obvious until it’s put back under load. Our team at Advantage Airtech Commercial Ltd. helps Toronto businesses inspect and test boilers, rooftop units, heat pumps, make-up air units, and other heating equipment before colder weather arrives.
