Is Your Commercial HVAC System Ready for Cooling Season?

As the weather warms up, it’s time to start preparing your commercial HVAC system for the heat. The last thing you want is for your system to fail , leading to downtime, lost revenue and unhappy customers. Here are five tips for prepping your Daytona Beach, FL, commercial HVAC system for hot weather.

Clean the Condenser Coils

The condenser coils release heat outside your building but can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing efficiency. This can lead to higher energy bills and decreased cooling capacity. Make sure to have the condenser coils cleaned before the weather gets too warm to ensure maximum efficiency.

Check the Refrigerant Levels

Refrigerant is what allows your system to cool the air, and low levels can lead to decreased cooling capacity and system failure. Have a professional check your refrigerant levels and top them off if necessary.

Inspect the Air Filters

Dirty air filters reduce airflow, forcing your commercial HVAC system to work harder to cool your building. Inspect and replace air filters regularly, especially before the weather gets too warm.

Check Drain Lines

Your commercial HVAC system has a condensate drain line that removes moisture from the air. A debris buildup in this line can cause flooding and bacterial growth to develop over time. To prevent this, check your drain line for clogs and clean it if necessary.

Examine Wiring

Your commercial system’s wiring can damage over time due to pests or general wear and tear. Frayed or damaged wiring can cause your system to malfunction or even start a fire. Have your wiring inspected and any damaged wires replaced to prevent these issues.
