Benefits of Preventative Maintenance for Commercial HVAC Systems

Lindsay Janssenby Lindsay JanssenMar. 14, 2025

As seasons change, commercial HVAC systems face increased demands. Equipment that has been sitting idle or operating at part load is more susceptible to failure as demand increases. Without proper HVAC preventative maintenance, unexpected breakdowns can disrupt operations and increase costs. Taking a proactive approach ensures smooth operation, maximizes energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of commercial HVAC systems. 

"It's important to plan and address cooling start-up tasks prior to the start of the season. Handling this proactively allows the owner to plan accordingly and address any identified system deficiencies in advance." Trey Calvery, Service Director, said.

Benefits of HVAC preventative maintenance include improving efficiency, extending equipment lifespan, and reducing costs for commercial HVAC systems.

According to Carrier, keeping condenser coils clean in a building with 60 tons of cooling can save 35,600 kWh ($3,453 @ $.097 per kWh) over just 3 months of cooling. 

"Our agreement to customers includes keeping their commercial HVAC systems serviceable and clean, thereby extending the life of their equipment, maintaining safe and clean air quality, and providing increased energy savings," Luke Klein, Service Account Manager, said. 

Well-maintained commercial HVAC systems are essential for ensuring comfort, efficiency, and reliability in commercial and industrial facilities. By prioritizing HVAC preventative maintenance, building owners and facility managers can ensure their systems receive the care they need to perform at their best — season after season.
