HVAC systems can be one part of a business's building that may not receive the amount of attention that is needed in order to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. Despite the importance of these systems and their complexity, it is relatively easy for small business owners to avoid making errors that could potentially lead to difficulties with temperature regulation and air quality.
Value The Need For Good Air Quality In Your Business
The air quality in your business can play a surprisingly important role in determining its profitability. If the business has poor indoor air quality, it could reduce the time that customers spend in the building, which could directly reduce the amount of money that they spend. Additionally, it can lead to some customers choosing to avoid patronizing your establishment due to knowing that its air quality will be low.
Position Vents Away From The Entrance Of The Building
The positioning of your building's interior vents will be another factor to consider with your commercial HVAC system. In particular, you may want to avoid placing the vents near the entrance or exit doors of the business. The steady flow of foot traffic into and out of the building can create a condition where much of the cooled or heated air from the system will escape through the door. In addition to positioning the vents away from the entrances, you will also want to ensure that they are angled so that they are blowing the air away from the door. If your business's building already has vents near the door, you may either want to have these vents removed or at least close them. While some businesses may assume this is unnecessary, it can provide noticeable performance gains for businesses where customers will be regularly coming and going.
Invest In A Service Contract For Your Commercial HVAC System
Meeting the maintenance needs of the commercial HVAC system will be an essential step for keeping the unit running smoothly. Over the course of a year, the HVAC system will have to spend hundreds of hours in operation, and this can lead to the unit suffering extensive wear. If this wear is not repaired or addressed, the unit will steadily experience increasing performance problems. To help you manage the costs and inconveniences of scheduling routine service work for your commercial HVAC unit, there are service contracts that you can sign. These contracts will provide for regular service visits, and they may also provide cost savings for the business.
