Commercial HVAC Spring Cleaning

Spring is the perfect time to tune up your commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. 

Why Spring for HVAC Cleaning?

As your reliance on your heating system winds down, springtime provides a well-deserved break in the action for both your heating and cooling systems. Neither is overworked in the milder in-between weather here in Illinois. A regularly scheduled maintenance call can help ensure your HVAC system runs optimally year-round. 

Many commercial HVAC systems fail due to a lack of regular maintenance. Get into a routine. Our Comfort Cavalry Heating & Air experts are happy to come out to your Antioch, IL, business and check your heating and cooling systems. 

We will start you on a regular schedule, typically either once or twice a year. If your commercial HVAC system requires more professional visits, we will tailor a preventative maintenance program to meet your needs.

What Comfort Cavalry Heating & Air Does for Spring Maintenance

A commercial HVAC system is the heart and lungs of your building. It keeps you and your building’s occupants comfortable and safe. And Comfort Cavalry Heating & Air is here to help. 

Our commercial HVAC pros inspect, clean, and tune up your heating and cooling system’s indoor and outdoor units. 

To ensure consistency and excellence, we follow the professional HVAC standards set forth by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which are approved and endorsed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). 

These measures exist “to establish minimum HVAC inspection and maintenance requirements that preserve a system’s ability to achieve acceptable thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality in commercial buildings.”

Here are some highlights of what our Comfort Cavalry Heating & Air team does during our spring visit:

• We check that there isn’t excessive wear and tear on parts, so you’re not hit with unexpected and costly repairs or replacements. If we spot something during our visit, we’ll let you know. 

• We winterize your heating system and then prep your cooling system for the hard work ahead of it in Antioch, IL. Examining everything from the condenser unit and wiring to evaporator coils, belts, and pulleys—and everything in between—we ensure everything is in optimum working order. Our maintenance team fine-tunes your system to keep it both efficient and effective.

• We clean your cooling unit, whether a small air conditioner or an extensive chiller system. Our experts clean moving and stationary parts to promote high performance and to prevent excessive dirt and debris from damaging your units.

• We monitor your systems from visit to visit and notify you well in advance of potential repairs and replacements. Regular maintenance calls will prolong the life of your heating and cooling systems, saving you money in the long run.

• We help you keep your manufacturer’s warranties intact. The majority of HVAC manufacturers specify routine maintenance in their warranties. This should offer you peace of mind and save you money should you experience any trouble down the road.

We offer commercial plans to help you manage your professional preventative maintenance. To learn more, speak to one of our friendly and knowledgeable commercial HVAC team members.

Possible Do-It-Yourself Commercial HVAC Tasks 

While the majority of commercial preventative maintenance belongs in the hands of a highly trained, experienced, and licensed HVAC expert, there are some things you, as the building owner, can do yourself or have your maintenance crew take care of between professional appointments.

Of course, if you prefer, our team is happy to perform all these tasks as well for you. Talk with one of our commercial HVAC team members for more information.

Change HVAC Air Filters

Dirty, clogged filters can cause a host of negative issues, such as poor indoor air quality, equipment breakdowns, obstructed air ducts, and HVAC system drain and vent water damage due to evaporator coils freeze-ups.

Be sure to change them (or clean them if reusable) according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. As a general rule, our commercial HVAC professionals recommend checking your filters monthly. If they’re dirty, replace or clean them, depending on your air filter type.

Manage Building Cleanliness

Be sure to keep your Antioch, IL, building clean. Any accumulated dust circulates and recirculates, adding to poor indoor air quality and, sooner or later, dirty air filters. It can also accumulate inside of your building’s ductwork, creating a long-term air quality concern. 

Keep HVAC Clear of Debris

Another task you can complete yourself is to keep any outdoor air conditioning or chiller units clean and clear from leaves and outdoor debris. This buildup impedes airflow and can damage your system.
