Commercial Air Conditioning Maintenance
A cool, comfortable environment is essential to your business. When you’ve got a well-maintained system in place, both employees and customers are more comfortable. That comfort level helps to promote a productive, successful work environment. Of course, maintaining an efficient commercial system can be a chore.
When you’re hoping to keep your HVAC system in the best condition possible but aren’t sure where to begin, turn to the experts. Aire Serv® provides professional commercial repair and air conditioner maintenance services to businesses throughout North America.
Benefits Of Commercial Air Conditioning Maintenance
Commercial AC maintenance comes with a lot of benefits. Maintaining a healthy HVAC system can help you avoid expensive, time-consuming repair jobs. In turn, you’ll see a longer lifespan for your equipment.
Maintenance can also help you identify and prevent issues before they impact your business. An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure – taking a proactive approach to your commercial air conditioning maintenance is always a smart idea.
Importance Of Professional Commercial AC Maintenance Service
What is AC maintenance, anyway? It’s the regular oversight and care of your HVAC system. While routine professional maintenance is indeed essential to the lifespan of your system, understanding why is key. Aire Serv can identify issues you might not even realize were a problem. This helps prevent unexpected and expensive repair work.
Our team can help you establish a maintenance schedule and agreement for commercial air conditioner maintenance. Do this sooner rather than later – you’ll want to schedule most of your preventative AC maintenance appointments before the sweltering summer heat sets in for the season.
During a maintenance appointment, your Aire Serv service professional will:
-
Inspect and maintain your system components – Clean coils, blower components, and condensate drain; check electrical components; lubricate and adjust your system as needed.
-
Verify proper refrigerant levels – Prevent an inefficient system and damage to the compressor.
-
Perform a system diagnostics check – Ensure the safe, proper function of your system and thermostat.
-
Identify and resolve ductwork leaks – Prevent loss of cool air, wasted energy, and an uncomfortable working environment.
-
Prevent unexpected damage and repairs – Address issues in your system before they result in costly repairs or system failure.
DIY Commercial AC Maintenance Tips From Experts
A DIY approach to commercial air conditioning maintenance should start with these tasks:
-
Keep air filters clean – A dirty filter can lead to reduced airflow, forcing your system to work harder. You can prevent this by cleaning or replacing your air filters every couple of months. This will increase the lifespan of your equipment and reduce energy use. See our blog for further guidance on air filter selection.
-
Remove debris regularly – As mentioned above, blocked airflow can reduce the efficiency of your unit. Take a soft broom to the fins around your outdoor condensing unit. Hose it off, remove trash, and clear away leaves and other debris.
-
Allow air to flow freely – Routine visual inspections can help confirm that the vents throughout your workspace are not blocked.
-
Keep a maintenance log – A notebook or calendar is the perfect place to track maintenance tasks and ensure they’re not overlooked. Consult this log when you’re ready to schedule your next Aire Serv appointment.

If you’re noticing higher-than-average energy bills or need frequent repairs to your system, it may be time to replace your HVAC unit. Generally speaking, these systems have a lifetime of about 10 years (based on maintenance and usage). Depending on how much you can save on energy expenses by upgrading, this may be one investment you’ll definitely want to make.
