The commercial HVAC system keeps your business comfortable and pleasant for customers, especially on particularly warm days. Whether you need to replace your unit or want to know how to get the most out of it, you’ll likely have questions. Here are some frequently asked questions about commercial air conditioning systems to get you started.

4 Commercial HVAC FAQ

What effect does unit size have?

The size of your HVAC system makes a significant difference in terms of efficiency. If the unit isn’t large enough, it may cycle continuously to circulate conditioned air throughout the space. Over time, this puts stress on the fan and motor, resulting in frequent breakdowns.

On the other hand, if your unit is too large, it may not remove excess moisture from the air. Though the thermostat will reach the correct temperatures, the air may feel humid.

Consult an HVAC contractor about what size unit you should get before making a commitment. 

What does ductwork do?

Ductwork moves conditioned air from the condenser to the various rooms of your commercial building. Ducts tend to collect dust and debris and may be vulnerable to leaks as a result of wear and tear over time. Prevent inefficiency, high utility bills, and diminished indoor air quality by scheduling regular duct cleaning. 

How often do filters need changing?

Filters remove allergens and harmful microbes from the air, which prevents odors and allergy issues, though they accumulate debris. Changing the filter regularly not only promotes indoor air quality but also takes stress off the unit—it may work harder to pull air through a saturated filter. Replace the filter at least once per month. 

When should I schedule maintenance?

Book an appointment with a commercial air conditioning maintenance contractor approximately once or twice a year. It’s a good idea to schedule maintenance a few months before the warm season since contractors aren’t as busy and wait times are usually shorter.
