As a business owner in Lake Forest, IL, you depend on efficient systems. You don’t want employees to feel too cold or too hot while working. But you don’t want to pay to heat or cool unused space either. Read on for how to efficiently maintain your commercial HVAC system to meet the needs of your business.
Save Time With Smart Thermostats
You can modernize your office with smart thermostats, which you can then program remotely with an app. You can cool off only the rooms you and your employees use. Many smart thermostats even self-diagnose their own issues, simplifying repairs. Many smart thermostats can “learn” and adjust to your patterns, even offering tips on saving money and energy. You can minimize the time you spend on programming because they’ll help you figure out the HVAC dynamics at your business.
Save Your Employees From Allergies/Asthma
Clean air could mean more productivity for you and your employees. Smart thermostats can send reminders for when you need to change your air filters. Choose your air filter carefully by looking at the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating. A filter with a 7-13 MERV rating is good at catching most allergens in your air.
Use UV Lamp Systems to Reduce Sick Days
If you’ve had illnesses go around in the office, consider a UV lamp system to reduce bacteria. Ultraviolet lights installed near your system’s coils, where it can get dark and moist, can kill biological growth and eliminate harmful particulates. So when Sally comes in with a bug, it won’t spread as rapidly.
Avoid Unsafe Conditions
Regular maintenance twice a year can help ensure that all safety controls are properly set and your system is clean and free of leaks. We’ll make sure no major parts are wearing out and keep everything in working order.
