Does Your Facility Need Mid-Season HVAC Maintenance?

Monday, January 16th, 2023
winter-scene

Maintenance for residential homes operates on a straightforward schedule: it needs to happen twice a year, once in spring to attend to the air conditioning system, and once in fall to attend to the heating system. 

This basic biannual schedule doesn’t work for many commercial and industrial facilities, however, for several reasons:

  • The equipment in commercial and industrial facilities undergoes more work because it must handle comfort and process needs for a large area and a larger number of people.
  • Because heating and cooling equipment aren’t used only for comfort, they often run during what is considered the “off-season” for a home. Heating and cooling are often necessary around the year to protect equipment and to facilitate the process. There’s little downtime for HVAC equipment.
  • The types of HVAC equipment used in commercial and industrial facilities are much different than residential ones, including systems such as infrared radiant heaters, unit heaters, and make-up air units. These systems have different maintenance requirements.

Watch Out for These Troubles From Refrigerant Leaks in Your HVAC Equipment

Monday, November 8th, 2021

commercial-HVAC-unit-refrigerant-rechargeAlthough 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.

Refrigerant can escape through leaks, however, and this is a common problem commercial facilities encounter, particularly with aging equipment. Corrosion will start to affect the copper refrigerant lines and allow the chemical blend to escape through even the smallest holes. Leaking refrigerant can lead to serious problems for your facility—some of which you may not anticipate.
