Prepare for the Heat: Ensure Your HVAC and Refrigeration Systems Are Ready
The West Michigan forecast is calling for 5 consecutive days or more of 90-degree heat starting Monday, June 17th! Is your business prepared to handle the heat?
During this heat wave, it's crucial to make sure your commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems are functioning optimally. High temperatures can put an enormous strain on these systems, leading to potential breakdowns and costly disruptions. Here's what you can do now to prepare and how RMS Pros can assist you if any issues arise.
Pre-Heatwave Checklist
- Inspect Your Systems:
- Check Air Filters: Clean or replace them to ensure proper airflow.
- Examine Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant can reduce cooling efficiency and damage the compressor.
- Inspect Electrical Components: Look for signs of wear and tear or loose connections.
- Clean Condenser and Evaporator Coils: Dirty coils can cause the system to overheat.
- Perform a Test Run:
- Turn on Your HVAC System: Let it run for a while and check for any unusual noises or smells.
- Monitor Temperature: Ensure your refrigeration units maintain the correct temperature.
- Check Thermostat Settings:
- Calibrate Your Thermostats: Make sure they are accurately reading and maintaining the desired temperature.
- Ensure Proper Ventilation:
- Inspect Vents and Ducts: Remove any blockages that could impede airflow.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Regular maintenance can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. It also ensures that your systems run efficiently, saving energy and reducing costs.
