Commercial air conditioning systems consume a great amount of energy. Compared to the standard residential AC systems, a commercial system costs 150% to 200% more to run on average, and that doesn’t account for how much longer these systems must run. This extra labor puts commercial air conditioning systems in danger of abrupt malfunctions that can lead to massive energy waste and expensive interruptions in operation, especially if the system doesn’t receive regular professional maintenance and runs into unexpected commercial AC performance issues.
Even with maintenance, you can expect to encounter air conditioning troubles at some point. We’re ready to help with the service necessary to get you back to work. To help you identify service needs, we’ve listed several common repair concerns you may have with your commercial cooling system.
Most Common Commercial AC Repair Issues and How to Identify Them
- Frozen evaporator coils
- Dirty condenser coils
- Thermostat malfunctions
- Refrigerant leaks
- Electrical failures
- Blower fan problems
- Compressor damage
These are some of the most common problems that lead to commercial AC repairs. Catching them early can help reduce downtime, prevent larger system failures, and control repair costs.
If you’re asking yourself the question in the title, then the answer is probably “no.” For some reason, you have doubts about your current air conditioning system and how well it’s serving your facility. You might wonder about temperature fluctuations, or concerns that the cooling costs are higher than they should be.
This is a difficult question to answer in a standard blog because the type of business has a huge effect on control of temperatures and humidity. The range depends on whether the HVAC system is being used primarily to provide comfort to people inside the facility or if it’s designed to protect equipment and process. A large industrial space will need much different amounts of cooling during the summer than a small office space.
Providing air conditioning for a commercial or industrial facility is much different than air conditioning a residential home. Most houses use the same type of refrigerant-based split systems to provide cooling. There are some variations in design, such as ductless mini splits and packaged units, but they still operate on the exact same principles. 
The weather is still cold, but next week is the first week of spring, and spring means businesses need to start planning for the warmer weather and the changes it brings. For many facilities, that means ensuring that the cooling systems necessary to maintain proper temperature during the often hot and humid Toronto summers are working in peak condition and have the necessary adjustments, cleanings, inspections, and tune-ups to prepare them to handle the seasonal shift.
Commercial HVAC is a complex field that requires years of training and experience. Most business owners and commercial facility managers don’t have specialized knowledge of this field, and that’s the reason they rely on contractors like us for their commercial air conditioning and 
One of the most important commercial HVAC services we offer for our customers is cooling for a relatively small area of a facility. But it’s one of the most vital areas: the server room (also computer rooms and IT rooms). 
At no other time have people been more aware of the need for improvements to indoor air quality in both homes and businesses than now. We often work with 
Yet another harsh winter in Toronto is getting started, and we can expect temperatures to drop much lower than the 3°C we’re currently experiencing. If you own or operate a commercial business, this is the time of year when you’ll have your facility sealed off from the outside weather as much as possible, both for the purposes of comfort and protection of equipment and safety, and to keep energy bills from rising exponentially.
