The best way to avoid cold weather problems is through preventative maintenance. If you haven't already set up a regular maintenance schedule, now is the perfect time to start! 1 Source Mechanical can help by creating and facilitating regular maintenance that will help keep your commercial HVAC system running smoothly in winter and the rest of the year.
Maintenance tasks may include:
Today's thermostats can help save you money on energy bills by automating your system. A programmable thermostat will turn the heat up or down on a regular schedule.
When no one's in the workplace, you can set the heat at a lower level, but ensure that it's not cold enough for the pipes to freeze. Before the workday rolls around, an automatic thermostat will turn up the heat in time for workers to arrive.
Best of all, you can control a smart thermostat from anywhere there's internet access. This provides peace of mind on those cold nights.
Chilly days are the perfect time to tune up the air conditioning components in your HVAC system. Now that you don't need to cool the building, make sure the air condition system is ready to go on standby for the next few months.
It's best to tune up air conditioning system components at least twice per year. Why not do it on a cold day, when you don't need to cool your workspace?
These steps will help you prepare your commercial HVAC system for winter before the temperatures take a plunge. The professional team at 1 Source Mechanical will identify and perform the maintenance you need to keep your workspace comfortable, all winter long.
