Saving Money On HVAC Work

Posted on: 2 August 2022

The first thing that comes to most business owners' minds when they think about preventative maintenance is adjusting components and replacing worn-out parts. And while this is an accurate correlation, it doesn't fully encompass what HVAC technicians do during maintenance checks. Another aspect of preventative maintenance that many businesses tend to overlook is HVAC unit cleaning.

If you realize that your commercial HVAC unit has always been dusty, read on to learn three essential reasons you should clean your commercial HVAC system.

Increased Efficiency 

The greatest benefit of keeping your company's heating and cooling unit clean is increased efficiency. The unit's components will do a better job at achieving desired indoor temperatures when they're not covered with dust and cobwebs. The best part is that the more efficient your HVAC equipment is the less energy it will consume, so you won't be overwhelmed by your company's monthly electric bill. And considering your HVAC equipment contributes the lion's share of your establishment's energy consumption, the energy savings will be significant.

Improved Air Quality

Since your employees speed the better part of their weekdays at your company, you should ensure they don't regret working with you. One way of achieving this goal is providing them with conducting working environments. But just because you have HVAC equipment does not mean that your offices will be comfortable.

If the equipment is covered in dust, it will likely circulate allergens throughout your offices, and your employees will inhale contaminated air. As a result, most of them will get recurring allergies and some might even develop respiratory infections. To improve air quality at your company, you should commission equipment cleaning so that the unit can circulate purified air around your offices.

Extended System Life

Even though technological advancements have allowed the cost of commercial HVAC equipment to drop, they remain huge investments for businesses. As such, the last thing you want is to have to prematurely replace your heating and cooling unit. But if you have a dirty HVAC system, you probably will because the unit has to work harder to do its job, which puts additional strain on the system and can lead to premature breakdowns. By keeping your system clean, you can help it last longer and avoid costly repairs or replacements.

Investing in regular commercial HVAC system cleaning is one of the best decisions you can make for your business. Partner with a seasoned commercial HVAC technician who will not skimp on this essential preventative maintenance task.
