Extending Commercial HVAC Equipment Life: The Accurate Advantage
In today's market of rising equipment costs and extended lead times, maximizing your existing HVAC system's lifespan isn't just smart, it's essential for your bottom line.
The Hidden Cost of Neglected Maintenance
Commercial HVAC equipment represents a significant investment for any business. When properly maintained, these systems typically last 5-7 years longer than neglected equipment, potentially saving thousands in premature replacement costs while reducing energy consumption by up to 15-20%.
At Accurate our preventative maintenance program goes beyond basic service to provide comprehensive care that extends equipment life and maximizes performance.
Four Critical Maintenance Practices That Make the Difference
1. Thorough Coil Cleaning
Our commercial technicians are extensively trained to properly clean coils on all equipment types, including package units, rooftop units, and chillers.
The Accurate Difference: Many large package units have two coils that require separation for proper cleaning—something many competitors miss. When these coils become restricted by debris, your equipment works harder, consumes more energy, and wears out faster.
During seasons with high debris (like cottonwood season), we'll help determine if more frequent cleaning is necessary based on your specific location.
2. Precise Refrigerant Charge Verification
Improper refrigerant levels rank among the leading causes of expensive compressor failure. Our technicians verify refrigerant charge by performing multiple tests customized to your specific equipment type.
This comprehensive approach prevents:
Shortened compressor life
Reduced cooling capacity
Excessive energy consumption
Costly emergency replacements
3. Strategic Filter Maintenance
Our technicians don't just change filters on a standard schedule—they assess your specific building conditions to establish optimal replacement intervals.
This strategic approach:
Prevents unnecessary strain on equipment
Maintains proper airflow for optimal efficiency
Avoids wasted costs from premature filter changes
Ensures consistent indoor air quality
4. Belt Inspection and Adjustment
Belt-driven systems require specialized attention that's often overlooked. Our technicians meticulously check belt condition, tension, and alignment on every preventative maintenance visit.
This diligence prevents:
Catastrophic failures from broken belts
Energy waste from slipping belts
Premature wear on motors and bearings
Unexpected downtime
