Our Trusted Commercial HVAC Maintenance in Houston

Regardless of the type of business you run, you rely on your heating and cooling systems to provide indoor comfort day in and day out. Even though your HVAC systems are built tough and meant to last a long time, those long, daily periods of operation—or continuous 24-hour operation—can really take it out of them. Wear and tear damage accumulates over time while your air conditioner and furnace slowly lose efficiency until the point where they aren't capable of properly heating and cooling your commercial building. Or worse, they suffer a catastrophic breakdown that may affect your ability to keep your business open and keep revenue coming in.

That's why proper maintenance is so critical for commercial buildings and facilities. In the climate we have here in Houston, your air conditioner is the star of the show—but your furnace is pretty necessary in January when the temperature dips down below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. They both need professional commercial HVAC maintenance. Houston HVAC technicians at Aire Serv offer experienced, trustworthy maintenance services that will help you avoid the stress and hassle of dealing with a failing system and also help you avoid the need for HVAC repair or replacement services.

Our commercial HVAC maintenance team will take care of inspections and get your systems tuned up to ensure they're in perfect working order. We'll also look for potential problems that are just getting started and correct them before they have a chance to spiral into a major issue and interrupt your business operations.

Commercial Air Conditioner Maintenance

Air conditioners are complex machines that remove thermal energy from inside a building by cycling refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils to change it from a liquid to a gaseous state and back again. While commercial air conditioning systems can be remarkably long-lived, they do need regular air conditioning maintenance to reach their maximum potential and keep delivering the same efficient cooling services year after year.

When you invest in regular commercial HVAC maintenance services, it's not just about having an HVAC technician check out your air conditioner, change the filter and give a thumbs up that everything is fine. It gives us an opportunity to turn back the clock on all the wear and tear damage the system has incurred since its last maintenance appointment, which means it will remain in great shape for much longer and save you money in the long run on frequent repairs and HVAC replacements.

Commercial HVAC maintenance for air conditioners includes steps such as:

• Cleaning condenser coil and evaporator coil
• Inspecting and lubricating motors
• Checking fan belts for wear
• Straightening and cleaning fins
• Clearing drain lines and drain pans
• Checking refrigerant levels
• Testing for refrigerant leaks and making any necessary repairs
• Checking for duct leaks in central air conditioning systems
• Measuring airflow through your evaporator
• Calibrating your thermostat

Commercial Heating Maintenance

While there are a lot of different types of heating systems available, most commercial buildings need the power of a furnace that uses the same central forced-air ducts as an air conditioner to deliver heated air and keep your building warm and cozy during the chilly winter months. The process of furnace maintenance is similar to that of AC maintenance and involves steps such as changing filters, motor lubrication, checking cords and hoses for signs of wear or damage, and ensuring that the overall system is operating smoothly and with the maximum possible energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial HVAC Maintenance: Houston

Do I Need Air Duct Cleaning?

Your commercial HVAC is almost certainly a forced-air system that relies on ductwork and vents to move heated or cooled air around the building and deposit it into individual rooms. When the ducts become coated in dust, dander and other allergens, all of that also gets deposited around the building and causes a serious drop in indoor air quality. That can result in allergic reactions, respiratory difficulties and more. It also means the entire building is a lot more dusty and dirty than it would be if the ductwork was clean and functioning properly. Dirty, clogged ducts can prevent your HVAC system from doing its job properly, and it may struggle to operate, causing it to use more energy and increase your utility bills.

So how do you know if you need air duct cleaning done as part of your commercial HVAC maintenance? Houston business owners should check for these signs that it's time (or well past time) to have air ducts cleaned out:

• Air register covers, and grills are visibly dirty
• Filters seem to get dirty a lot faster than they used to
• There are a lot of dust particles floating in the air or settling on surfaces
• Indoor air has an unpleasant odor that is dusty, musty, or even smells like something rotting
• When the furnace or AC turns on, a puff of dust comes out of the vents

Can Commercial HVAC Maintenance Really Decrease My Energy Costs?

Unless you have some heavy-duty specialized equipment at your business, your heating and cooling systems are likely the largest consumers of energy in the building by far. They need a lot of energy to keep your building at your preferred temperature year-round, which is a fair trade-off. The problems start when your HVAC slowly loses energy efficiency over time as parts wear out or break down and grime accumulates, which interferes with the HVAC operation.

Whether or not you see a big difference in your energy costs after commercial HVAC maintenance depends on your unit's current energy consumption and condition. If your HVAC system is in rough shape and consuming a lot of energy as a result, commercial HVAC maintenance could make a significant difference in how much you have to pay on your energy bills by removing or correcting many of the factors that are causing it to need extra energy.

How Often Should I Schedule Commercial HVAC Preventive Maintenance?

How frequently you need routine maintenance for a commercial HVAC system is going to vary quite a bit based on the size of the building (and the size of the system), as well as other potential factors. If you work in an environment with a lot of dust flying around, such as a shipping or manufacturing facility, for example, you'll likely need preventative maintenance services more often. In many cases, every six months is adequate for commercial HVAC maintenance. If you're not sure, consult with our HVAC professionals—we'll take a look at your system and other factors to determine the best frequency for scheduling appointments.

If you want to extend the time between necessary appointments a bit, one of the best things you can do is stay on top of changing air filters. They need to be swapped out every few months, depending on the type of unit and the thickness of the filters, and changing them on schedule can make a big difference to keep your unit running efficiently and maintain your indoor air quality.
