Commercial Air Conditioning Maintenance

Did you know that without yearly maintenance a commercial air conditioning system will lose 5% efficiency every single year? From as little as £150 per year, you can prevent the lifespan of a commercial air conditioning system from dropping by as much as 35%!

As the leading air conditioning service provider in the Midlands, MAC provides commercial and industrial maintenance across various locations in the Midlands. With customised maintenance contracts available, MAC’s qualified mobile engineers are skilled in maintaining a wide range of systems from ducted air conditioning to water cooled systems.

How often should commercial air conditioning units be maintained and why?

Air conditioning systems typically need professional commercial maintenance at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. Annual maintenance for your air conditioning has a massive impact on the overall performance of your air conditioning, its warranty and more. The benefits directly linked to commercial air conditioning maintenance include;

Commercial Air Conditioning Maintenance

Keep Your Commercial Aircon Running Costs Low

Whilst something simple such as clogged filters and dust accumulation seem like relatively minor issues, these small issues collectively put additional strain on the operating functions of your air conditioning. This creates additional wear and tear as your system has to work that much harder to achieve the desired temperature and worse still, it will impact energy consumption by using more electricity too!

Prevent Expensive air conditioning unit repairs

Without maintenance, higher running costs won’t be your only issue as that same wear and tear created by small issues will gradually worsen over time. A minor issue an engineer can resolve during maintenance, such as clearing dust and checking working parts are adequately lubricated will have a direct impact on the performance of important components such as the compressor. As a result, professional annual maintenance will reduce the likelihood of component failure within your commercial air con by as much as 80%!

Increased Air Conditioner Life Expectancy

Wear and tear makes all the difference when it comes to running costs and potentially expensive repairs, although both will also play a part in contributing toward the overall life expectancy of your air conditioning. It is completely true that AC can last up to 15 years or more, although that longevity is achieved through prevention of major issues and simple annual maintenance plays a key role in those preventative measures. Without these annual check-ups, your air conditioning is highly likely to have its life expectancy reduced by approximately 35% or more!

Protect Your aircon warranty and adhere to government regulations

Last but certainly not least, it is very important to note that having a warranty will cover you for manufacturer defects but in order to qualify you must ensure your air conditioning units are professionally maintained a minimum of once per year. Commercial systems do also have requirements based on UK government legislation. For example, commercial AC over 12kw must be inspected/maintained at least once every five years.

Signs Your Commercial Air Conditioning System Needs Maintenance and what can happen

Whilst it is recommended to have your commercial air conditioning regularly maintained, it is essential for larger systems at least once every five years. Although sometimes your air conditioning may need maintenance outside of planned visits too and it is useful to be able to recognise when this is the case.

Some signs worth looking out for include;

Unusual odours from your air conditioning indicate a need for professional cleaning due to dust, debris, or mould from moisture buildup.

Reduced cooling efficiency often signals a mechanical problem or low refrigerant levels.

Strange noises can suggest serious internal issues that require immediate attention to prevent further damage.

Dirty filters impact air quality, obstruct airflow, and reduce performance, leading to higher electricity usage and increased energy bills.

What can happen if you miss these signs or do not arrange maintenance

It order to avoid additional costs, it can be tempting to skip annual maintenance, but this can lead to higher costs in the long run.

Neglecting maintenance can result in:

Higher running costs caused by simple issues such as clogged filters and dust accumulation increase strain on the system, causing it to work harder and use more electricity.

Increased risk of costly repairs can arise from unaddressed minor issues left to escalate. Regular maintenance can reduce the likelihood of such failures by up to 80%.

Decreased life expectancy can also come about from general wear and tear, if unchecked, it can shorten the lifespan of your AC by approximately 35%. Regular maintenance can help your system last up to 15 years or more. Voided warranty can also be a result of lack of maintenance as most manufacturer warranties require the system to have professional maintenance to remain valid.

What is included with commercial air conditioning maintenance?

Knowing that planned professional maintenance will extend your commercial air conditioning’s lifespan certainly can offer peace of mind.
