On a normal day, the last thought on your employees’ minds is the heating and cooling system. When it’s not working correctly, though, they will be affected, and so will your bottom line. As the guide below explains, regular HVAC inspections prevent unnecessary productivity issues that harm your business. 

Improves Indoor Air Quality

The air you breathe is vital for maintaining good health. Unfortunately, indoor air is often found to have more pollutants than what’s outside. Dust, dander, pollen, hair, and dirt get trapped in the HVAC system and continue to cycle through the air. As time goes on, the amount of harmful particles floating in the air is increased, resulting in more respiratory and allergy-related illnesses and the number of employee sick days used. 

Periodic HVAC inspections check the cleanliness of your ducts, vents, and filters. Clean air filters are necessary to trap these pollutants and prevent them from entering the ductwork and blowing out the vents onto your workers. If they enter the ducts, they will either continue to cycle through the building or become lodged and undo the work of your filters. 

Maintains Comfortable Temperatures

The ideal office temperature is often between 68 and 76 degrees. If you go lower or higher than these points, employees tend to become too uncomfortable to concentrate on their work. Unfortunately, if your HVAC system is struggling, you might find it difficult to maintain this comfort.

When a heating and air conditioning contractor inspects your unit, they will check for problems that could be making it less efficient. A clogged air filter, for instance, makes it difficult for the system to suck in air. As a result, it stays on longer or cycles on more frequently to stay at the thermostat setting. This causes parts to overheat and fail prematurely, which further decreases the system’s effectiveness. Regular inspections catch these issues before they can get to this point.
