When it comes to keeping your business running smoothly, a reliable heating system can make it or break it. That may sound like an exaggeration, but just think about it. If your space isn’t comfortably warm this winter season, your team will be less effective and customers won’t want to visit your space for very long.
Keeping your heater operating at its best is as simple as partnering with our team to maintain your commercial heater annually.

Professional Care
One of the best things you can do for your commercial system is to have our team come out and look at it once each year at a minimum. This gives us an opportunity to look at all of the details, connecting your system together and keeping it operational. We want to make sure that each individual component is working well and pulling its weight to help the system operate as a whole to heat your business.
You may think it’s OK to skip out on professional maintenance if your heater is keeping your business warm without any issues, but that’s actually the exact time you need to schedule maintenance. Prioritizing maintenance and being proactive when everything is going great is the way that you keep things going smoothly without any issues.
Filter Care
Depending on the size of your business, you may have multiple air filters that need to be changed out each month. Be sure that you invest in high-quality filters for your business for two reasons. The first reason is that it boosts the indoor air quality of your business to make it a more comfortable environment.
The second is that a high-quality air filter is also protecting the inside of your heater from tiny dust particles that can have a major impact on operation over time. Changing out that filter before it gets too full is another great way to protect the system.
Allowing a filter to stay in place for too long can block airflow as well as allowing dust particles through the fibers so they can circulate through your heater and blow back into your business. If it helps, set calendar reminders for when you need to check on the filter and change it out again. Purchase more than one filter at a time for each intake grate so that you always have a filter on hand when you need one.
Paying Attention to Operation
It’s also important to slow down and take time to listen and pay attention to how your heater is operating. If you notice any changes in how long your heater stays on or if it begins to make unusual sounds during operation, you need to call for service.
Don’t wait until your next regularly scheduled maintenance appointment to address any concerns that you have. Making repairs early before problems have a chance to spread is one of the best ways to take care of your commercial heater.
