Preparing your business for winter may mean purchasing salt and shovels and hanging holiday decorations in the window. However, if your business relies on a commercial HVAC unit to help keep your employees and customers warm, you may need to add a few extra steps to get ready for the winter months. Wright Heating & Cooling has been providing businesses in Kent, OH, with HVAC solutions for over 60 years.

Here, they list three ways to prepare your commercial HVAC system for the winter season: 

  • Test Your Thermostat: Before the temperature drops too low, test the thermostat in your business. On a day when the temperature is cool enough to turn the heat on, set your thermostat to your desired temperature. If it takes a long time to reach the desired temperature, or your business doesn’t reach the temperature it all, then you may need your commercial HVAC unit serviced by a professional.
  • Keep Air Vents Clean and Unobstructed: Air vents help circulate warm air throughout your business. Regularly clean the air vents with a vacuum to prevent dust build-up, and do not place any items directly in front of air vents to ensure unobstructed air flow.
  • Change Your Filters: Commercial HVAC units take on way more dust and dirt than residential heating systems. For that reason, it’s important to change your HVAC unit’s filter at least once a month. This will prevent the air in your business from getting too stuffy.
  • commercial-hvacCheck For Strange Sounds Or Leaks: Look around your HVAC unit for any excess water leaks, and listen for unusual banging sounds. Call an HVAC specialist if you notice either of these signs. It could mean that your HVAC unit is malfunctioning and in need of repair.

To have your commercial HVAC unit inspected, repaired, or replaced, or for other heating and cooling services, call (330) 673-3507. For more HVAC care tips, visit the Wright Heating & Cooling website.
