Advantages of Timely Commercial Air Conditioning Replacement
When your AC unit starts to show signs that it needs to be replaced, it’s important to install a new unit as soon as possible. Some of the benefits a new system can provide are:
- More consistent cooling throughout the property.
- Better climate control, especially if programmable thermostats are installed.
- Lower monthly utility bills, as newer units are more energy-efficient.
- Increased indoor air quality, as the new system can remove dust, debris, and other particles from the air.
- Less chance of needing repairs in the near future.
Signs You Need Furnace Repair
Don’t leave your building’s occupants in the cold this winter with a malfunctioning furnace. Some signs to watch for that can indicate you need professional repairs on your system are:
- Short cycling: If your system runs for less than three minutes before turning off, it can indicate a malfunctioning heat exchanger or a broken thermostat.
- Irregular flames: If the flames are uneven or lean toward the back of the furnace it can indicate a cracked heat exchanger, which can lead to serious problems. If you notice this, you should call a professional immediately.
- Unusual sounds: If you hear rumbling, popping, or whistling coming from the unit it can indicate a number of issues that should be inspected by a professional.
- Cracked heat exchanger: This can lead to a serious issue like a carbon monoxide leak. It should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible as it can cause serious health issues for the occupants in your building. If you suspect you have a leak you should evacuate the property and then seek professional help.
