Wear and tear is to be expected with equipment like HVAC systems, and as a commercial property manager or owner, making sure they’re in their best condition is a key responsibility. In today’s post, local HVAC company Perfect Degree HVAC discusses the benefits of not delaying commercial HVAC repairs.
- Mitigate damage to the system. All types of HVAC systems accumulate wear over time, which means the sooner wear-related problems are addressed, the lesser the degree of the problem will be. Otherwise, you’d be looking at severely worn-out components, major leaks, and generally noisier equipment. Generally, you’ll want to avoid business disruptions caused by HVAC systems failure — in addition to occupant comfort, equipment such as servers require round-the-clock cooling.
- Energy savings. Worn-out HVAC systems tend to consume more energy. Therefore, the longer repairs are put off, the greater the energy costs. While one can simply stop using a residential HVAC system while waiting for repairs, commercial properties need continuous heating and cooling. In addition to energy savings, repair costs can be relative to the degree of damage — that is, minor repairs typically cost less.
- Lower risk of business disruption. Comfort is a key element of work productivity, so you’ll want to avoid things that could disrupt your business hours, like an unplanned HVAC outage. This is even more important when your business relies on certain types of equipment to run. We have mentioned businesses that use data servers, but there are also hospitals, theaters and restaurants that rely on HVAC systems to operate.
- Maintain indoor air quality. Enclosed spaces such as offices typically have little to no access to fresh air, so maintaining indoor air quality through ventilation systems is important. HVAC malfunction could cause anything from unpleasant odors to dangerous concentrations of indoor air pollutants. In facilities like laboratories and hospitals, maintaining indoor air quality is even more important in order to avoid contamination.
