5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Commercial Heating System
Proper maintenance and care of your commercial heating system is more than a matter of comfort—it’s a matter of safety for all your tenants and customers. While repairs can help you fix small issues, there comes a point when a full replacement is necessary. Heiden Plumbing, Heating & Cooling shares signs that indicate a new installation is the best choice for apartment complexes and commercial buildings. Find them below, then call us at 414-937-8420 to make an appointment.
1. The Technology Is Outdated
Heating and cooling technology has come a long way since your initial commercial heating system was installed. If you aren’t currently taking advantage of benefits like zoning and smart controls, you could be spending more than you need to on energy costs. Instead, consider a new system. It includes those money-saving benefits and could lead to a dip in heating costs.
2. Your Commercial Heating System Is 15-20 Years Old
Once commercial units reach a certain age, they become far less efficient. The average system will last for about 15 to 20 years. Once it reaches that point, repairs and breakdowns become more common. Even if the system still functions, it may not provide as much comfort as it did when new.
3. The System Makes Loud Noises or Emits Odors
If your commercial unit makes loud banging sounds or begins to smell funny when it’s running, it’s a cause for concern. Not only are both problems inconvenient for your tenants, customers, and employees, but they could also indicate a more severe problem. Call Heiden Plumbing for an immediate assessment should you notice noises or scents of any kind.
4. The System Requires Frequent Repairs
An occasional commercial heating repair is to be expected. But if your system is constantly breaking down, or the same problems repeatedly crop up, a complete replacement may make more financial sense for you.
5. Uneven Heating Throughout the Building
If some areas within the building are consistently too hot or cold, it usually means that your commercial unit can't properly distribute heat. Reasons for this could include less heat output from the system, old ductwork, or poor airflow. Heiden Plumbing can help you identify the cause—and make replacement recommendations if necessary.
