During an inspection, a commercial HVAC technician will check the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Humidity levels<\/li>\n<li>Airflow balance<\/li>\n<li>System responsiveness to thermostats and other building controls<\/li>\n<li>Leaks in plumbing or ductwork<\/li>\n<li>Ductwork and filter inspection<\/li>\n<li>Refrigerant levels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Building Controls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to program and calibrate your facility\u2019s thermostats at the start of the heating and cooling season. An HVAC service contractor can help make sure your thermostat is set correctly for maximum occupant comfort and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Seasonal To-dos<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Fall.<\/strong> Before the winter season begins, have a commercial HVAC service technician check your burners and heat exchanger to make sure your system is ready for the cold weather ahead. You don\u2019t want to wait until the negative degree weather begins to find out your building doesn\u2019t have heat. This is also a good time to replace air filters and clean any debris on your equipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spring<\/strong>. In early spring, you\u2019ll want to have your air conditioning equipment checked. You don\u2019t want to wait until heat and humidity have set in to realize you\u2019re AC isn\u2019t working. A common issue is condensate drains. If broken or worn out, water damage can occur. Partnering with an HVAC service contractor will ensure all components are working and ready for the summer ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective HVAC systems are especially important in the Midwest where the summers are muggy and the winters come with \u201cpolar vortex\u201d temperatures and wind chills.
