If you own or run a restaurant, you know that having a comfortable atmosphere is imperative to provide a customer-friendly experience. Ensure the health and pleasure of your customers and employees by maintaining a functional air conditioner and heater throughout the year. Keep in mind these basic requirements of HVAC maintenance in your restaurant.

Restaurant Owner's Guide to HVAC Maintenance

1. Inspect the System

Check the exterior of your air conditioner and heater unit for any damage from harsh weather or other elements. Examine the unit for any visible oil or refrigerant leaks. These will be the first sign that you need repair or professional maintenance service.

2. Note the Air Quality

The quality of air that is being pumped in from outside can affect the dining experience of your customers and may lead to respiratory problems for your staff. Make sure your air conditioner complies with local ventilation codes and is healthy for your employees and customers to breathe. If your restaurant is located near a waste disposal facility, for example, you may need to balance the CO levels and boost filtration to prevent contaminated air from entering the establishment. 

3. Ensure Ventilation

Regularly check the air filters and clean them to enhance the efficacy of your system. Dirty filters can put stress on the system from overuse and may cause damage. It also wastes energy and raises costs. The air balance in the exhaust system should be checked frequently to avoid poor circulation and drafty dining areas.
