A commercial air conditioner inspection is a preventative measure that can save your company money, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system. Whether you’re prepared for a routine maintenance visit or a compliance check, knowing what to expect can help the process go smoothly.
- Basic System Overview: A typical commercial air conditioner inspection starts with a basic system overview. A technician from our team at Custom Air and Heat Inc. will check your unit’s age, make, model, and any available maintenance records. This allows us to identify known concerns or components that may be nearing the end of their expected lifespan.
- Comprehensive Visual Assessment: Following the overview, we will inspect both outdoor and indoor units for apparent damage, corrosion, loose connections, and dirt buildup. Air filters are also checked for cleanliness and good fit, as clogged filters reduce airflow and efficiency. Additionally, belts, fans, and motors are checked for wear and alignment.
- Electrical Components Are Assessed: A primary focus of a commercial air conditioner inspection is the electrical components. Our team will check wiring, capacitors, contactors, and control boards to ensure they are safe and meet manufacturer specifications. In addition, we will evaluate refrigerant levels to ensure that the system can cool efficiently without overworking the compressor.
- Airflow and Performance Tests: To ensure that the building is cooled evenly, we often measure temperature differentials, air pressure, and airflow through ducts and vents. This is in addition to calibrating and testing thermostats and control systems to ensure accuracy and responsiveness.
Final Report: Lastly, we will provide you with our findings, such as the system’s current state, any immediate concerns, necessary fixes, and advice for increasing efficiency or avoiding future problems.
