H1: The Complete Commercial HVAC Maintenance Checklist
Every day, HVAC systems for commercial buildings support comfort, safety, and productivity for employees and customers. A proactive maintenance plan ensures your heating and cooling systems run efficiently, reduce energy costs, and last longer with fewer breakdowns.
At Estes Services, we offer a full range of commercial HVAC services designed to keep your equipment operating at peak performance. Use our complete maintenance checklist to protect your commercial HVAC systems and improve reliability throughout the year.
H2: Commercial HVAC Maintenance for Heating Systems
When maintaining heating systems in your building, it's critical to inspect all mechanical and electrical components to ensure proper operation, safety, and energy efficiency.
H3: Furnace and Heating Equipment
Your furnace or air handler should be inspected for clean operation, strong ignition, and efficient heat exchange. Maintenance includes checking electrical connections, inspecting burners and ignition assemblies, testing blower motors, and verifying the condition of the heat exchanger.
Regular service reduces wear, improves airflow, and ensures that your building's heating or cooling functions as designed. If your business uses a rooftop packaged unit or geothermal HVAC equipment, make sure seasonal checks are included in your plan.
H3: Belts and Lubrication
Belts in fans and motors stretch and crack over time. Check their tension, alignment, and condition. All moving parts — including bearings and motors — should be lubricated regularly to minimize friction, reduce noise, and extend the life of your components.
H3: Filters
Replace filters according to your maintenance schedule to keep dirt and debris out of the system. Clean filters promote better indoor air quality, maintain strong airflow, and improve overall efficiency.
To ensure full performance of your commercial HVAC systems, schedule regular filter replacement with Estes Services.
H2: Commercial HVAC Maintenance for Cooling Systems
When temperatures rise, your air conditioning system works hard to deliver cool air throughout your facility. Regular maintenance keeps these systems reliable and energy efficient.
H3: Condensing Units
Outdoor air conditioners and condensing units can collect dirt, leaves, and debris that restrict airflow. Technicians should clean the condenser coils, remove obstructions, and test components for damage.
H3: Wiring and Electrical Connections
Inspect all wiring for corrosion or rodent damage that can occur during winter months. Properly connected wiring ensures your cooling equipment draws the correct power and prevents costly short circuits.
H3: Refrigerant Levels
Refrigerant leaks are a common problem in commercial HVAC systems. Low refrigerant can prevent your system from reaching full cooling capacity, increasing strain on the compressor. Technicians measure and recharge refrigerant as needed to restore performance and reduce energy waste.
H3: Drain Lines and Evaporator Coils
Clean drain lines and drip pans to prevent clogs and water buildup that can cause water damage. Technicians also clean evaporator coils to remove buildup that inhibits heat transfer and efficiency. This helps your air conditioning system deliver steady, reliable comfort across your building.
H3: Air Filters
Just like in your heating system, filters in cooling systems require consistent replacement. Clean filters improve airflow, prevent strain on fans and compressors, and reduce energy costs throughout the cooling season.
H2: Additional Maintenance Points for Commercial HVAC Systems
Beyond heating and cooling, comprehensive commercial HVAC services include maintenance of IAQ equipment and automation systems to enhance your workplace environment.
H3: UV Lights and Indoor Air Quality
If your system uses UV air purifiers or IAQ technology, replace UV bulbs every one to three years to maintain disinfection performance and protect indoor air quality.
H3: Dehumidifier and Drainage Systems
Check dehumidifier drain lines for blockages that cause leaks or mold growth. A clear drainage system prevents excess humidity and protects your building from water damage.
H3: Building Automation Schedules
Your building automation system ensures comfort and efficiency during operating hours. Adjust controls during Daylight Saving Time and seasonal changes to optimize energy savings and reduce unnecessary runtime of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
