Commercial Buildings & Cool Air: AC Service Essentials for Tucson Businesses Before Summer Hits

In Tucson, having functional, reliable air conditioning isn’t optional. It’s essential. With temperatures routinely soaring above 100 degrees all summer long, you’ll want to ensure that your business is prepared for the heat and doesn’t suffer a mid-season breakdown that leaves you without AC. Because of Tucson’s extreme heat, a non-functional AC unit could shutter your business, as it may not be safe for customers or employees to occupy until the cool air is flowing again. 

With Cool Breeze Comfort Solutions handling your commercial HVAC maintenance and AC repair needs, you can rest assured that you are prepared for the long summer ahead. Here’s a closer look at our recommendations for summer AC service in May. 

Schedule Your Seasonal AC Inspection and Tune-Up 

Seasonal commercial HVAC maintenance can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and maintain optimal energy efficiency with your AC unit—and that could mean huge savings on your summer electric bills. Our commercial service plans ensure that your business gets the seasonal HVAC inspections and tune-ups it needs to stay prepared for extreme desert heat. When we work on your system ahead of summer, we will take the following steps. 

• Air Filter Replacement – HVAC filters should be replaced monthly in busy commercial environments. Our technicians will change your system filter and make sure you’re stocked up with replacement filters for the rest of the summer season. We can also show your staff or building maintenance manager how and where to replace the filters, if needed. 

• Mechanical Checks – Our technicians will ensure that all fans and motors in your system are in working order, lubricating moving parts, tightening electrical connections, and inspecting belts and pulleys for signs of wear. We will also replace any worn out parts to prevent sudden breakdowns. 

• Cleaning – We’ll clean evaporator and condenser coils and condensate lines, and we will inspect the outdoor unit and ensure that the surrounding area is free from dust and debris that could restrict airflow. 

• Thermostat Calibration – An accurate thermostat is essential for maintaining comfort in your commercial space during the summer months. We’ll calibrate the unit and make sure it is programmed correctly for energy savings during hours when your building is unoccupied. 

• Refrigerant Level Checks – Our technicians will check refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks to ensure that your system is at its full cooling capacity. 

Monitor Early Season AC Performance 

Even if you schedule preventive maintenance, you should be diligent about monitoring the performance of your unit, so you know when it’s time to schedule AC repair (before a breakdown occurs). Watch for higher energy bills outside of normal ranges for the summer months, unusual noises, or strange odors coming from your system. If your AC is running but the building never seems to get cool, you may have leaks in your ductwork that are preventing cool air from getting to the vents.
