A commercial cooling system needs to function as efficiently and reliably as possible. It will keep productivity and comfort levels high when it can properly maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the building. As the property or business manager, you should know the common problems with these systems, so you can recognize them early and address them before they become major issues.

A Guide to Common Problems with Commercial Cooling Systems

1. Damaged Unit

Many commercial cooling systems are installed on the roof of a building. This location is conveniently out of the way and in a location where it can best serve a large building. However, it leaves the unit exposed.

Storm debris can easily damage the unit, and extreme sun exposure and heat can wear it out. Avoid this issue by checking for damage after extreme weather events. Have the main unit inspected once every six months, as well.

2. Noisy Function

Rattling, banging, buzzing, or clanking can all indicate problems with the system. These unusual sounds typically mean that a part is loose or worn down and on the verge of failing.

3. Poor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality often goes unnoticed, since it’s difficult to track. A commercial building sees many people on a daily basis who track in dirt, dust, pollen, and other contaminants. The HVAC unit should help filter the air to keep the interior clean and the employees healthy.

Keep air quality high by installing HEPA air filters and replacing them as often as your contractor recommends. This is typically required every three to six weeks, depending on the size of your system and the number of people who work there.
