So many things impact an employee’s productivity, yet you likely don’t think about your workplace’s climate and ventilation as being part of it. A worker’s concentration and effort drop by 4% for every degree over 80º F.
A second study found that a worker’s typing errors increased by 25% when temperatures went below 68º F. Workplace comfort is key to productivity. Proper HVAC maintenance of your workplace’s HVAC system is essential.
A commercial HVAC contractor excels in guaranteeing your HVAC equipment runs smoothly. After all, you spent a lot of money on a commercial HVAC installation. You want it to perform correctly for as long as possible.
The following benefits explain the importance of regular HVAC maintenance by commercial HVAC companies.
Ensure OSHA Compliance
OSHA requires a comfortable work environment for your employees. The guidelines are that temperatures should be no colder than 68º F to 76º F. Buildings should be pollutant-free, not excessively humid, and have adequate fresh air.
Workers are not to be subjected to temperature extremes. If your heating and air conditioning system isn’t providing a work environment that complies with OSHA guidelines, you could face fines.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Company’s Heating and Cooling System
One of the most important reasons for regular HVAC maintenance is that it extends the lifespan of your commercial heating and cooling system. Why spend money on a new HVAC installation before you must?
Hire HVAC contractors for preventative maintenance and cleanings to have a system that will work for many years longer than average.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is essential to your employee’s health and comfort. When air quality is low due to VOCs, foul odors, mold, or germs, not only do you risk your employees’ health, but they also struggle to focus on the job at hand in an unpleasant environment.
North Carolina’s high humidity is ideal for mold growth, and an improperly working air quality system lowers indoor humidity levels, creating a comfortable indoor climate and improving indoor air quality.
A properly tuned system, clean ducts, and regularly changed air filters all help improve indoor air quality. Properly installed air quality systems remove fumes from your equipment, keep impurities out, and provide clean, fresh air for everyone who enters your building.
You Avoid Costly Downtimes and Emergency Repairs
Circle back to the loss of production when your workers are too hot or too cold. If your thermostat isn’t working correctly or something within your HVAC system breaks, you lose productivity. Every hour your heating and cooling system isn’t doing its job drives up your losses. Your workers cannot do their jobs, your heating system won’t stop adding more heat to the building or your air conditioner keeps blowing freezing air.
Once there’s a catastrophic failure of your HVAC unit, you need emergency repair service, which adds to your expenses. If it takes time to get the correct parts, you may need to bring in space heaters or portable air conditioners until the system is repaired. Proper maintenance of your HVAC system helps you avoid expensive downtime.
Increase Energy Efficiency with a Properly Maintained Commercial HVAC
When you ignore routine HVAC maintenance, your energy bills skyrocket. Dirty filters and coils, malfunctioning components, and cracked or damaged ducts increase your monthly electricity and heating fuel or gas costs.
Commercial HVAC professionals complete thorough inspections and cleanings. They inspect and clean your system’s coils, air filters, and other key air conditioning and heating components to ensure everything is running smoothly. If any small repairs are needed, you’ll know before it becomes a big headache.
When your system is tuned and working properly, it lowers your heating and cooling costs. You’re not losing hot or cold air through gaps or holes in ducts. Dirty coils do not allow the transmission of heat from the copper tubes. A dirty air filter isn’t impeding airflow through your building. With the hot or cold air going where it should, your energy bills decrease.
