How to Improve Your Commercial Unit’s Heating and Cooling Performance
Regular Maintenance:
Routine maintenance for your HVAC systems is often your most powerful tool in maximizing your HVAC unit’s capabilities. Checking drain lines for leaks, cleaning or replacing filters, checking the condenser unit and refrigerant levels, inspecting ductwork for leaks or damage and generally making sure everything is in working order will help protect businesses against HVAC system breakdowns and help improve their efficiency.
Your property’s janitors or handymen may be great at a lot of routine maintenance tasks, but the complexity of HVAC unit maintenance and calibration makes hiring manufacturer-certified and licensed experts the preferable course of action. Working with Tom’s Commercial can give you peace of mind that the job will get done right.
Optimize Airflow:
Sometimes, it may not be the HVAC unit that needs fixing, but the structures attached to it. Airflow is essential for efficient heating and cooling – if your vents are being blocked by furniture or ducts aren’t thoroughly sealed, you could experience a significant reduction in HVAC performance coupled with skyrocketing energy costs. Our professionals will inspect your ductwork and ensure your business has adequate airflow to maximize efficiency and climate control performance.
The Latest in Programmable Thermostat Technology:
Smart thermostats aren’t new anymore – but their capabilities are constantly growing. Some commercial-oriented variants offer more advanced zoning capabilities, building management system integration, remote access and control functionality and occupancy sensors. We can explain features that may be useful for your business and ways in which they can be implemented to save energy during the off hours while providing a comfortable working environment during operating hours.
Install Zoning Systems: There are many different commercial HVAC zoning solutions that allow property owners to provide nuanced and efficient control to occupants. Whether you own multi-tenant properties or need a highly effective and efficient zoned solution for classrooms, hotel rooms or an office structure, we can provide solutions that allow for more precise temperature control for occupied areas while reducing energy waste.
Fortify Insulation:
Verifying that your commercial property’s walls, ceiling and floors are adequately insulated is essential to limiting gaps that lead to heat transference and force your unit to work harder and expend more energy than should be necessary to maintain desired temperatures.
Energy Management Systems (EMS):
Installing an EMS system will allow you to regulate your building’s use of heating and cooling. It allows property owners to optimize HVAC usage by leveraging advanced scheduling and performance monitoring to identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency.
Implementing Air Curtains: Air curtains can provide substantial assistance in minimizing heat loss and gain, as they create a barrier that prevents outdoor air or airborne pollutants from entering the building and temperature-controlled air from escaping.
Why Tom’s Commercial Is Arlington’s Go-To Choice to Enhance the Heating and Cooling of Commercial Properties
The crew at Tom’s Commercial specializes in both HVAC repairs and replacement. Before replacing your unit, we’ll verify whether your existing system can be repaired or enhanced, or if replacement is the only option.
While business owners generally prefer to avoid the costs of premature equipment replacement, there are several compelling reasons that may justify such an investment. Depreciation and tax implications, coupled with the potential for significant savings through enhanced efficiency, can make early replacement a financially sound decision under certain conditions.
That said, some shoddy HVAC installers default to recommending replacement over repairs even if it’s not in your best interest. We will assess your system, let you know if it can be repaired, explain your options and work fast to restore it. If replacement does make the most sense, we’ll help you find an ideal new climate control solution for your structure and quickly replace it with minimal disruption to your business.
