As the warmer months approach, it’s crucial for your business to verify that your commercial air conditioners are ready. Pre-emptively addressing common issues prevents costly repairs. Here are some key issues to look out for and address before summer hits in full force.
- Inadequate Cooling. One of the most common complaints during summer is that air conditioners do not cool enough. This can be due to dirty air filters or low refrigerant levels. Air filters become clogged with dust and debris, reducing airflow and system efficiency. Similarly, refrigerant levels drop due to leaks, impacting the cooling capacity. Regular maintenance checks ensure your system cools properly.
- Strange Noises. Commercial air conditioners should operate relatively quietly. If you start hearing unusual sounds like rattling, buzzing, or grinding, it’s a clear sign that something’s amiss. These noises can indicate loose parts, debris in the system, and mechanical problems.
- Frequent Cycling. Air conditioners that constantly turn on and off are inefficient and strain the system. This could be caused by an air conditioner that’s too big, a malfunctioning thermostat, or electrical issues.
- Water Leaks. While some condensation around your air conditioning unit is normal, excessive water leakage can indicate a problem. This could be due to a clogged condensate drain line or a malfunctioning condensate pump.
