Cranking Up Your Office Air Conditioning for the First Time This Year? 5 Simple Things to Check

Commercial Air Conditioning

Woohoo! The sun’s coming out!!

As warmer weather returns, offices, restaurants, shops, and commercial buildings will be turning on their air conditioning for the first time in months. Before your system goes into full swing, a quick check can save you from costly air conditioning faults and disruptions later.

 

✅ Check Filters Are Clean

Dirty filters can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and compromise air quality – especially important in shared workspaces.

 

✅ Inspect Outdoor Unit for Obstructions

Leaves, debris, or stored equipment around the condenser unit can reduce performance and/or cause overheating.

 

✅ Listen for Unusual Noises

Grinding, rattling, or buzzing sounds could indicate mechanical wear or electrical faults.

 

✅ Check for Good Airflow at All Vents

Poor airflow could signal a blockage or fan issue, especially in larger or zoned systems.

 

✅ Be Aware of Unusual Smells

Musty or burnt smells may point to mould or electrical issues – both of which need immediate attention.
