Common Commercial HVAC Issues

With over 20 years of experience, we’ve successfully dealt with a lot of the HVAC challenges businesses have. These are some of the most common: 

• Short-cycling: This occurs when your HVAC system turns on and off too frequently, preventing it from completing a full heating or cooling cycle. This can lead to increased wear and tear, reducing the system’s lifespan, while causing higher energy bills.
• Faulty ignitions: Ignition problems can prevent a furnace from starting properly, resulting in inadequate heating. This issue can stem from a malfunctioning pilot light or ignition switch and compromise the comfort and safety of your commercial space.
• Dirty burners: Your burners can accumulate dirt and debris, leading to inefficient combustion and reduced heat output. Dirty burners can also produce harmful emissions, posing a safety hazard and potentially increasing energy costs due to inefficient system performance.
• Poor performance: When an HVAC system underperforms, it may struggle to maintain desired temperatures, leading to an uncomfortable space. This can be caused by various factors, including inadequate maintenance, blocked air filters, or aging components.
• Cracked heat exchangers: This can lead to dangerous leaks of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that is a serious health risk. Cracked heat exchangers often arise from corrosion or overheating and call for immediate attention. 
• Refrigerant leaks: Leaks in the refrigerant lines can reduce your HVAC system's cooling efficiency and cause it to work harder to maintain your desired temperatures. This not only increases your energy costs but can also lead to compressor failure if left unaddressed.
• Thermostat failure: A faulty thermostat can lead to inaccurate temperature readings, causing the HVAC system to run inefficiently. This can result in inconsistent indoor temperatures, discomfort for occupants, and unnecessary energy consumption.
