In this blog entry, the Chicago HVAC system cleaning and Chicago air duct cleaning experts here at EmDuct will detail the most common commercial HVAC issues that our expert air duct technicians regularly see.
Poor Heating
If your commercial HVAC technology isn’t making enough heat, the thermostat might be set on the wrong mode or too low. Another potential cause is a blown out fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If these aren’t the issues, it might be a serious problem with your heating unit. In this event, emergency HVAC repair services should be provided by a trained professional.
Poor Cooling
Insufficient cooling might be due to thermostats set above room temperature. If thermostat controls are ideally set and operational, inspect the HVAC unit for optimal airflow or potential build up inside the filter. By changing air filters, you can make sure that your commercial HVAC system operates at high performance levels at all times of the year.
Overheating
This is usually caused by broken motors or compressors or dirty condenser coils. Overheating might immediately cause an increase in power bills as the system strains to operate. However, sometimes overheating can cause serious problems with your electrical system, causing a fire hazard or electrical shorts that can totally shut down your commercial property. Have a professional HVAC repair or air duct cleaning technician inspect your ductwork.
Frozen Coils
These are often caused by clogged filters or refrigerant line leaking. This problem is indicated by ice forming on the outside of one of your HVAC units. It is a sign that your HVAC system is likely operating at diminished capacity, and can even cause water damage inside your HVAC units and also your floors and walls.
