Common Commercial Heating Issues

Here are some of the most common commercial heating issues that many business owners and managers deal with regularly and ways to fix them:

  • Have you ever received a call from an employee saying it’s freezing, followed by another saying that they’re too hot? Airflow problems are a common issue typically caused by a leak in the ductwork. If the ventilation system has leaks or cracks, it won’t evenly heat or cool the spaces throughout the building.
  • Strange noises are another common issue. It’s normal to hear the HVAC system cycle on and off. But clinking, banging, or popping noises may indicate that something is wrong. A piece of the fan or other part may have broken or become loose and start rattling around in the ductwork. Joints may no longer fit together correctly, or the wear and tear on an older system may have begun taking its toll. To find out what’s causing the strange noises, one of our experienced technicians can investigate the problem and fix it before it turns into a serious issue.
  • Does your system cycle on and off over and over again? Or does it run more than it should? These cycling issues may indicate that the HVAC system is too big or small for your facility. If it’s too big, it will operate inefficiently. If it’s too small, it won’t heat or cool the space adequately. The only way to fix these issues is to install the right size equipment.
  • The drain line on an HVAC unit routes moisture away from the system. However, the drain line can get clogged with dirt, algae, and other debris over time. When it clogs up, it causes water to back up into the drain pan and creates a leak and potential water damage. The best way to prevent this issue is to have regular maintenance checks from a professional HVAC company.

Some other commercial HVAC issues you may encounter include:

  • Circuit breaker issues
  • Dirty condenser
  • Dirty air filters
  • Ignition problems
  • Issue with thermostats

The best way to handle commercial HVAC issues is to prevent them from happening. Regular maintenance with one of our HVAC technicians will ensure that your system runs smoothly when you need it most.
