Avoiding risks and recovering from the unexpected is a key part of running a business. With all of your responsibilities, heating and air conditioning might be one thing that you’re ignoring. If you are having the air conditioner in your Longview, Texas home tuned, don’t forget about the commercial HVAC equipment that keeps your employees and customers comfortable.

Avoid Problems with Regular Tune-Ups

Regular maintenance has many benefits. When your HVAC system performs properly, everyone will be comfortable and your indoor air quality will be better too. You will minimize the need for repairs and your equipment will last longer. A seasonal checkup can help you to avoid these problems with your commercial systems.

• Tenant complaints
• Customer loss and decrease in sales
• Reduced employee productivity
• Inventory spoilage
• Business interruption

It is best to avoid these and other problems by scheduling maintenance twice each year. It is recommended that your HVAC equipment should be serviced once in spring to prepare the unit for summer, and then again in fall to ensure the heating system can stand up to the rigors of winter.

The Benefits of Commercial HVAC Maintenance

For a business, reputation is everything. Customers, employees and tenants won’t notice if your business is adequately air conditioned, but everyone will be aware if the space is uncomfortable. Regular tune-ups benefit you by satisfying your patrons and minimizing unexpected business expenses. Budgeting for a tune-up in the spring and fall is easy. Paying for major repairs or learning that you need to replace your commercial HVAC equipment won’t make for a good day at the office. Skipping preventive maintenance costs thousands more in the long run.

Saving Money with Seasonal Tune-Ups

When you assess the cost and inconvenience of a sudden breakdown, preventive service makes good business sense. You’ll reduce on-site energy use, avoid frequent repairs, and help your equipment reach its estimated lifespan of 20 years.

Maintaining the quality of your home’s indoor air is critical to the health and well-being of your entire family. The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration has identified air quality as one of the most important threats to worker health and safety. Taking steps to ensure the quality of the air in your Longview, TX, home can have positive effects not only on the health of your family members but on your wallet as well. Here are three ways in which poor indoor air quality can pose threats to you and your family.

Increased Dust and Contaminants

Dust and particulate matter can build up inside your heating and cooling system over time. These contaminants can have serious consequences for individuals with asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions. High-quality HEPA filters and professionally installed air purifiers can filter out many of these pollutants to provide clean, breathable air for everyone living in your home.

Mold and Mildew

Excessive moisture and dirt in your ductwork can allow mold and mildew to build up in these areas. Mold has been linked to a number of serious illnesses. Exposure to these fungi can also make asthma symptoms worse and can pose serious threats to individuals with allergies to mold and mildew. According to the experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mold can have even more serious consequences for those with weakened immune systems. For these individuals, exposure to mold can sometimes lead to hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a potentially life-threatening condition. Keeping mold out of indoor air is essential to ensure a healthy environment inside your home.

Lower Energy Efficiency and More Frequent Repairs

Dust and particulates in your ductwork can reduce the overall performance and energy efficiency of your HVAC equipment. This can lead to more frequent breakdowns and increased costs of operating your heating and cooling system. Investing in a professional evaluation of your home’s air quality can save you money over the life of your furnace and air conditioning equipment.

The expert technicians at JD’s A/C can evaluate your ductwork, your HVAC system, and the conditions in your home to identify threats to indoor air quality. We sell and install air purifiers that can remove up to 99 percent of microorganisms from the air inside your home, allowing you to breathe easy during every season of the year.
