Steers Heating & Cooling Helps You Prepare Your Commercial HVAC System for Winter
As fall settles in, business owners need to think ahead. Freezing temperatures put a strain on heating systems, and the last thing you want is a sudden breakdown in the middle of winter. At Steers Heating & Cooling, we help you take the right steps now—so you stay warm, efficient, and worry-free all season long. These simple actions ensure your commercial HVAC system runs reliably when you need it most.
Clean And Inspect All Heating Components Thoroughly
Preparing your commercial HVAC system for winter begins in the fall, which is the ideal time to clean burners, check ignition systems, and inspect the heat exchanger. Built-up dust or corrosion can impact efficiency and even lead to system failure. A clean unit runs more reliably when temperatures drop.
Test and Calibrate Thermostats to Maintain Precise Control
If your thermostat isn’t reading correctly or responding promptly, your system could cycle too frequently or not enough. Check for accuracy and consider upgrading to programmable or smart thermostats. These help reduce energy waste and offer better control.
Replace Filters to Ensure Clean Airflow and Protect Equipment
Filters trap dust, allergens, and debris—but once clogged, they block airflow and cause your system to overwork. Change filters at the start of the season and continue doing so monthly to extend system life and boost performance.
Seal Ductwork and Insulate Critical Areas
Leaky ducts and poorly insulated areas lead to major heat loss. Use duct sealant or insulation to trap warm air where it’s needed most—inside your building. This simple step improves energy efficiency and reduces heating costs.
