Running a business is a huge undertaking. You have a lot of tasks to juggle, departments to oversee, and affairs to manage. Among all this work, it’s easy to let something like the HVAC system that heats and cools your facility slip from your mind. As long as it seems to be working, creating the desirable indoor environment for your business needs, then you likely won’t focus on it.
However, lack of attention to your commercial heating and air conditioning can be costing you money. Possibly a lot of money. We’re going to look at four common mistakes that people make in commercial facilities that can lead to HVAC system waste.
The true “heating season” will soon be upon us, and no matter what type of business or facility you run in the Greater Toronto Area, you’ll want to make sure that its heating systems are working properly. 
The best time to begin to think about your commercial heating needs is during the fall. Your business may rely on heating throughout the year for process or to protect equipment, or you may only require powerful heating during cold weather. Regardless of how you use your commercial heating, fall is one of the key times to schedule regular maintenance and tune-up service for your HVAC system and other heating equipment to ensure it works its best during the rigors of the coming season.
Although people connect the word “refrigerant” to devices that produce cooling, such as air conditioners and refrigeration equipment, refrigerant is often an essential part of the heating and cooling systems for commercial spaces. The standard rooftop units that most facilities use for climate control use refrigerant to both move into and out of the space. Under normal circumstances, refrigerant-based equipment will use the same charge of refrigerant through its service life—refrigerant circulates in a closed loop and does not dissipate through the heat exchange process.
October is the ideal time to arrange for heating maintenance services for your commercial or industrial facility. The winters in Toronto are intense, and no matter the type of facility you operate, the heating systems necessary for the process, comfort, and the protection of equipment need to work reliably every day through the season.
