A business’ commercial HVAC system represents a critical element of its daily operations, playing a pivotal role in everything from the safety and comfort of employees to the longevity of products and internal infrastructure.

Common Commercial HVAC Repair Issues

The average commercial HVAC lasts about 15-20 years, during which it can continue to run at peak performance with consistent upkeep and maintenance. However, the older your system gets, the more prone it is to severe issues and the need for more in-depth repair. There are multiple indicators that your business may need to consider professional commercial HVAC repair, including but not limited to:


  • Uneven or Weak Air Output One of the most common signals that your commercial HVAC system needs repair is that it’s simply not performing equally throughout your building. This may be able to be fixed through a process called “air balancing,” which means modifying your HVAC system’s ductwork so that air flows evenly throughout your office, warehouse, or any other type of building.

Solutions to unbalanced airflow can range from simple (ensuring air vents are adequately opened or closed) to more complicated (repairing or replacing duct work or insulation). Either way, contacting an experienced and qualified repair professional is best.


  • Unusual Sounds– Hearing a banging or clanging in your furnace? How about a stalling or sputtering in your air conditioning unit? Is your condenser making an odd hissing or squealing noise? These sounds could be indicative of a variety of issues.


Stalling and sputtering can mean a problem with the blower motor as it struggles to push air through dirty or clogged filters. Hissing is a prime indicator of a change in airflow, which a leak in your ductwork may cause. Squeaking during startup and shutdown may mean it’s time for a tune-up or service. Other indicators of the need for commercial HVAC repair include crackling, popping, and humming.


  • Odd or Unusual Smells – There are several common HVAC odors, and several issues can cause them. An overheating or electrical problem may be exemplified through a burning odor. This differs from the initial smell your furnace gives off in the fall.


Another odor that can indicate a problem in your commercial HVAC system is a “rotten egg” smell. This smell usually means a natural gas leak, which a qualified professional should address immediately. Open the windows to your home, get out of the house immediately, then call the gas company.


The smell of mold and mildew is also a common indicator of the need for commercial HVAC repair. It’s usually brought on by moisture trapped in the air conditioning system through hose leaks or just filter buildup. These problems can not only inhibit the function of your system but also create airborne health issues and put your building’s occupants at risk for respiratory illness.


Whatever kind of odd or unusual smell you notice from your commercial HVAC system, Universal Mechanical Group is ready to help you diagnose and address the issue quickly and confidently.
