When you own a commercial property, keeping essential heating and cooling units up to date is vital to the comfort of your customers, employees, and clients that visit the facility. A faulty unit or one that is always needing repaired is not an asset to your business and eventually, it will need replaced. Here are a few signs your commercial HVAC unit may need to be replaced.
RISE IN ENERGY COSTS
Energy costs are going up every year, but tracking your facility’s energy consumption costs over time can help you budget for these expenses. However, if you begin to notice your monthly energy costs go up considerably, you unit may be working harder than it should to heat and cool the facility. Keep track of these expenses and call in an HVAC professional if you notice a distinct rise in your energy costs with no discernable reason.
SOUNDS COMING FROM THE UNIT
The ideal HVAC unit is one that runs relatively quiet. Apart from hearing the unit and fans click on when it is in use, you should not hear any squealing or banging noises coming from the unit. A significant noise change while running can indicate fan or motor problems. If you hear odd noises coming from your HVAC unit then it is time to call us for our assistance.
FOUL SMELLS EMANATING FROM THE UNIT
Generally, you should not smell anything coming through the vents in your commercial facility. Foul smells can be an indicator of a lot of problems from mold and mildew to an animal in the vent system, but if the scent is more chemical, the source might be your commercial HVAC unit. If you notice any odd smells in and around your facility when the unit is running, contact your HVAC professional immediately.
LIMITED AIR FLOW
One of the most common indicators that your commercial unit is in need of replacement is when air flow becomes restricted. Although this can be signs of other issues, sometimes, limited air flow coming from the vents indicates the unit is going out completely. Check to see if the fan is running and thermostat is running properly. If both of these are working as they should, the problem may be linked to the problem may be linked to other electrical issues.
