You keep a close watch on the budget for your commercial facility, no matter the time of year. During the hot and humid Toronto summers, you expect to see an increase in energy usage in your facility because of the high energy demands from the cooling system. Keeping temperatures controlled inside a building is necessary for almost every type of business, whether it means providing comfort to the people inside or preventing damage to equipment and a slow-down in process. Even a medium-sized office space must have effective cooling for the server room or it will suffer from data loss.
There are ways you can reduce those summer HVAC costs—in fact, we feel as close to certain as we can be that you are currently paying more than necessary. If you aren’t already working with our technicians for your commercial air conditioning in Toronto, ON, you’re missing out on ways to lower summer operating costs. Below are ways to save money during summer with commercial cooling.
If you’re reading this post, you probably think you could do better for your commercial facility when it comes to its cooling system. There are many reasons you may think this: perhaps higher bills, loss of revenue from equipment failing due to overheating, complaints from employees/clients/customers, or a general realization you have an HVAC system that’s old and outdated.
This is the time of year when commercial companies schedule a routine visit from a commercial HVAC contractor to take care of the pre-summer check-up and tune-up for their equipment. The stresses of the upcoming season make it necessary for HVAC machinery to be in top shape.
You know how hot and humid Toronto gets during the summer. But the summer weather hasn’t hit yet, and we’re in a period of cool to cold weather here in May. It’s a deceptive time halfway between summer and winter, and it’s easy to forget the importance of having maintenance for your commercial HVAC equipment done before the intense heat arrives.
For a business that relies on a server room/computer room as a central hub for operations—and this includes most facilities—proper climate control in this room is essential. The equipment in server rooms generate a large amount of heat in a small space with little air circulation, and the equipment is sensitive to high temperatures. Inadequate cooling for a server room means damaged equipment and potentially devastating data loss.
When it comes to 
No one needs to tell you the winters in Toronto are rough. If you’re a business owner, you know the strain the temperatures and other conditions put on your facility over the season. You don’t want this strain extending into the rest of the year, particularly the heat of summer. Much of the HVAC system for a commercial facility runs throughout the year and doesn’t receive a “break” when temperatures warm up. This is why regular spring commercial HVAC maintenance is essential each year. 
Proper ventilation for a commercial facility is essential, regardless of the type of facility. Ventilating a space is required to allow for proper humidity balance (which can make or break process for many businesses), healthy conditions for workers and employees, control of mold and mildew issues, mitigation of allergens, and reduction of dust and other contaminants that can cause damage to machinery.
If your commercial facility relies on a boiler for its regular operation, you can’t take any risks with it. A boiler failure can mean a major interruption in your business—and a permanent boiler failure means an even longer one as the old boiler is replaced.
We keep extremely busy during the harsh, lengthy winters in Ontario handling repairs for the commercial heating systems of our customers. We help reduce the number of repairs our clients must deal with through our excellent maintenance program. But no amount of pre-season maintenance can stop every heating problem.
