Professional Commercial HVAC Preventative Maintenance for Northern New Jersey

Universal Mechanical Group in Clifton, NJ, is here to provide the Garden State business community with convenient, reliable, expert, and affordable commercial HVAC maintenance in NJ. Even the most expensive, state-of-the-art commercial HVAC systems require routine maintenance to keep them running at peak performance, maximize efficiency, and keep your staff, customers, and guests safe and comfortable. Without proper commercial HVAC maintenance, you risk significantly shortening your system's life, increasing your monthly energy costs, and putting your building's occupants at direct risk for discomfort and long-term health complications.

Common Issues With Your Commercial Heating System

Throughout the life of your heating system, your furnace will require routine maintenance to address a variety of issues, including but not limited to:

Dirty or Clogged Air Filters– A dirty or clogged air filter is a small problem that can have enormous ramifications. They prevent air from properly flowing through your space and place undue pressure on other significant components of your heating system, such as the blower motors.
Inactive or Blown-Out Pilot Light– Newer furnaces no longer use an actual pilot light but rather an electronic switch that prevents gas flow without the heater being on. These sensors routinely get dirty and must be replaced, a task best left to a commercial HVAC maintenance technician.
Heater Won’t Shut Off – The first thing you’ll want to check if your heating system won’t shut off is whether or not the thermostat is working correctly. Check if your furnace is “auto” instead of “on.” This way, it will shut off when it reaches a specific temperature. Check the batteries and ensure proper cycling if your thermostat is broken or malfunctioning. If the problem persists, it’s best to contact an experienced and qualified commercial HVAC maintenance specialist.

Common Issues With Your Commercial Cooling System

Your commercial air conditioning system will have its own unique set of issues that you will need to address through regularly scheduled upkeep and maintenance, some of the most common of which can include:

Low Refrigerant Levels– Your commercial cooling unit primarily runs on refrigerant levels that cool and regulate temperature. In locations that run air conditioning with more frequency or regularity, it may become necessary to refill this refrigerant more often. This can also be attributed to more severe problems like leaks in your refrigerant lines, in which case it is best to call a technician immediately.
Dirty Condenser Coils – The condenser coil in your commercial AC unit removes hot air by expelling it to your building’s exterior. It is the last line of defense for air intake and upkeep and can often take more of a beating than other parts of your system, including build-up of dirt, grime, and debris. Routine commercial HVAC maintenance should include the thorough cleaning of AC condenser coils.
Frozen Evaporator Coils– The evaporator coil absorbs hot air so the condenser coil can send it out of the building. It’s possible and common for these elements to freeze, at which point they will stop working correctly. An experienced, licensed commercial HVAC maintenance technician should address a frozen condenser coil.
