Running a commercial business property is no easy task, as you’re mostly thinking about operating expenses and how you can keep employees or customers happy. This often means your heating equipment is the least of your worries, especially if you have it maintained routinely. But it helps to know some of the telltale signs to look for that will help you avoid costly repairs later on. Heating and air conditioning repair specialist Superior Air discusses some of the most common signs to look for here:
Unusual Noises
A noisy heating system, if left unchecked, can easily disrupt your business. While the noise isn’t that bothersome if you run a factory or warehouse, it should still be checked by a licensed technician. If you’re running a hotel, restaurant or any other hospitality business, the noise can bother customers and lead to complaints. Commercial heating and AC systems are designed to run quietly, so when they become unusually loud, they need to be checked by a professional as soon as possible.
A Sudden Surge in Your Monthly Energy Bill
Another telltale sign your heating system may need to be repaired is if it experiences a big drop in efficiency. You probably won’t notice this in your heating and air conditioning installation until you receive your latest utility bill. This could be due to hidden leaks in the ductwork or a build-up of dust and dirt in the system. It could even indicate that the system is too old and needs to be replaced.
Uncomfortable Smells
If you think you’re smelling something rotten coming from your commercial heating equipment while it’s running, this could indicate a natural gas leak. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed by professionals as soon as possible. A moldy or musty smell, on the other hand, could be due to mold growth within your system and ductwork. Mold will compromise your indoor air quality, which can lead to your property’s inhabitants developing health problems. Make sure to have your air ducts sealed professionally and have the air filters sealed or replaced regularly.
