At Sparta Mech, we recommend servicing air conditioning units regularly to keep the units efficient and safe. As your local tradesmen in Hereford and surrounding areas, we have a good understanding of commercial locales already using air conditioning units. Many settings such as offices, schools and hospitals have air conditioning units installed and use them daily, regular servicing ensures the units continue to function correctly, can reduce any energy costs and have been linked to increased productivity at the workplace or schools.
How often should air conditioning units be serviced?
As experienced air conditioning engineers, we recommend commercial air conditioning services at least once a year. If however your commercial business is on a larger premises such as a factory or warehouse, you may have a much larger air conditioning system, This could mean that your air conditioning units may need more frequent maintenance and checks.
How do I know if I need a commercial air conditioning service?
There are some indicators that suggest it's time to call in a professional such as Sparta Mech. If you notice any of the following signs, get in touch with us to arrange a service appointment.
- The temperature of air coming out of the vents is not at the temperature it should be at.
- Any unusual noise or sounds coming from the units while it is turned on or even turned off.
- If the system has not been in use for some time. Maybe you’ve had some renovation work at your premises and had all appliances off for the duration.
- Any dripping or leaks or even condensation on any visible pipes.
- Have you had any changes to your business such as longer opening hours or more people in the building than normal? This means there are greater demands on your air conditioning systems.
How do we conduct a commercial air conditioning service?
Initially we would visually inspect any attached pipes and vents as well as air conditioning outlets.
Over time and with use, filters within the system can become clogged and covered in dust, this can reduce the airflow and prevent the system from functioning at its optimum. This is why air filters would then be checked and cleaned alongside coils and fins which makeup part of your air conditioning system.
As registered air conditioning engineers, we pride ourselves on our experience and our in depth knowledge of air conditioning units and how they function. We take extra steps such as checking all switches and controls with your air conditioning system as well as replacing any refrigerant (chemical used in systems to remove heat from air).
Benefits of having commercial air conditioning services
If you already have air conditioning installed at your commercial premises, you've already taken the first steps towards creating a cleaner and comfortable working environment.
Regular services means any filters, vents and pipes are clear of dust and allergens, keeping the air flow into your commercial space clean. By regularly servicing the air conditioning system, you are reducing the risk of any major faults or failures with the system. Undetected faults that are not fixed quickly could end up being more costly to repair if left. You are also reducing the risk of potential hazards such as fires which could occur due to systems overheating or short circuits due to clogged filters.
