Your company's heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment can have a surprising impact on your bottom line. When it's operating efficiently, your HVAC system takes less electricity to run, and your employees are healthier due to improved air quality and comfort. When you spot any of these three signs that your HVAC equipment isn't working correctly, schedule repairs with a reputable contractor who will expertly service your system.

When to Schedule HVAC Repairs

1. Uncomfortable Employees

Employees may be the first to notice if air quality is suffering. If you get multiple complaints about too-hot or too-cold temperatures or humidity, adjust your HVAC controls. If thermostat adjustments don’t solve the issue, call an HVAC company for inspection and repairs. They’ll determine why your HVAC system isn't heating or cooling as expected. Your employees may also be the first to report a change in system noise levels, a sure sign that a part may be failing and that repairs are needed.

2. High Utility Bills

Electrical costs may fluctuate throughout the year. In the summer, air conditioning use will drive your bill up. If, however, a bill is unusually high for an unexplained reason, a damaged HVAC system may be at fault. Perhaps a vent is clogged. If the fan has to spin faster to pull air through the ducts, it will use more power than usual.

3. Unusual Cycling

Your HVAC system should switch on smoothly when it needs to heat or cool a space, run for a while, and then switch off. A damaged HVAC system will struggle to keep your building at the right temperature. It may, as a consequence, run continually. If there’s a problem with the thermostat or controls, your system may turn on and off more frequently. In either case, call a service technician and have cycling issues addressed.
