Ensure Indoor Comfort: Common Challenges Commercial HVAC Contractors Solve in North Carolina

Any commercial HVAC system is designed to optimize air quality and thermal comfort in an office building, restaurant, store, warehouse – the list goes on. When an air conditioning or heating system fails, not only is your business at risk of violating state or local building codes, but you also risk losing valuable customers. 

You need a quick resolution to your commercial heating and cooling system problems. These are the issues our team of expert commercial HVAC technicians frequently troubleshoot.

Constant Heating and Cooling Failures

The temperature in your business is perfect. You lower the thermostat for the weekend and return on Monday to find your offices are freezing. You’re not getting any heat from the registers, even after turning up the thermostat. After your system is repaired, a week later, the same problem occurs.

When your HVAC system is down, it costs you business. This is why regular HVAC maintenance and cleanings are vital. Routine maintenance and tests of your heating and cooling system’s performance help diagnose issues before they appear.

Electrical issues in different components are harder to pinpoint. The age of your building’s system might indicate that components are past their lifespan and need replacing. It might be time for a new commercial HVAC unit. Superior Mechanical’s North Carolina HVAC contractors address system upgrades and HVAC repairs as quickly as possible to minimize downtime.

Humidity and Mold

North Carolina is a humid state. Rain, heat, and humidity wreak havoc on air quality. When an HVAC system cannot remove enough humidity from the indoor air, mold and mildew grow. Mold impacts health, especially for people susceptible to allergies. It also damages your equipment and inventory. 

Your employees find it hard to work when they’re stuck in an environment with humid, stagnant air. They may need to go home if they overheat. The decrease in productivity as a result is costly.

Reduce the damage excessive humidity causes with an assessment of your HVAC system. Is it properly sized and installed correctly? Are there issues with holes or cracks in your system’s ducts? When was the last time your company’s heating and cooling system was cleaned and inspected? Those issues all impact humidity levels and are easily corrected through duct inspections and cleaning, duct sealing, and HVAC maintenance.

Inadequate Heating or Cooling

You’ve turned the thermostat up or down and it’s not as warm or cool as it should be. Many things cause problems with regulating the temperature shown on the thermostat. Troubleshoot by having an HVAC inspection to see if you have some common problems affecting your company’s air conditioning and heating system.

A dirty air filter makes it hard for air to flow through the ducts while the air is still warm or cool. Holes or splits in the ductwork allow air to seep out where you don’t want it to go. Debris could be blocking the exchange of air outside the building. Your air handler could be dirty and in need of cleaning.
