When you own a business, keeping the location comfortable for your team members and customers needs to be a top priority. After all, people may not remember every single detail of interacting with your business, but they will remember how they felt while being there.
Usually, the saying “people remember how you made them feel” is in reference to customer service, but the environment of your business contributes as well. Keep reading to learn about some common commercial HVAC repair needs that should be addressed sooner rather than later. Then give our team a call to schedule your commercial HVAC repair in Plymouth.
1. Broken Ducts
Your commercial HVAC system is only as good as the attached ductwork. No matter how efficient the operation is, your unit can only do so much if the ductwork is damaged and causing you to lose heated and cooled air before it reaches the rooms of your business.
While we are there to adjust your ducts, we can also clean them out. It’s common for dust buildup to develop inside the ductwork, especially when the ducts are damaged. We may have to replace sections of your ductwork and then reseal the joints where they connect. You’ll have a fresh start that improves indoor air quality and lightens the load on your HVAC system.
2. Thermostat Calibration
It’s also possible that your thermostat is to blame for commercial HVAC system problems. If the thermostat batteries run low or the calibration is off, your thermostat will not be able to read the indoor air temperature accurately. This can result in your HVAC system turning on and off at the wrong times, ultimately leaving you with a less comfortable work environment.
We can change out the batteries, recalibrate your thermostat, and then test it to ensure that it is communicating correctly with your commercial HVAC unit. If these steps don’t work, we may have to replace your thermostat entirely, which is something we can do at the same appointment.
3. Refrigerant Leaks
Refrigerant leaks are a concern you want to address if you suspect you have one at your business location. If refrigerant leaks out of the lines, you may see what looks like a water stain near the lines. Other signs of a refrigerant leak include Other signs of a refrigerant leak include warm air coming from the vents, decreased cooling ability, and hissing or bubbling sounds.
Don’t attempt to clean up a refrigerant leak. Instead, leave it alone and allow our team to tackle the problem. After cleaning up the refrigerant, we can identify where the leaks are in the line, make the repair, and recharge the refrigerant level so it is adequate again.
4. Failing Electrical Connections
If your HVAC system is getting up in age, electrical problems are more common. As your system ages and the electrical connections loosen up, you may notice that your HVAC system is not working as well as it used to.
There may be delays in startup or hiccups during heating or cooling cycles. If you suspect electrical problems, it’s a good idea to turn your system off completely until our team can take a look at it. Electrical problems can be very serious and leave you at risk for fires if they are unaddressed.
