Do you keep your commercial heating and cooling system in good condition? If so, you may have a few problems but even the most carefully maintained systems can develop problems. Here are some things which can happen to your HVAC system and you should call a Tacoma HVAC repair service like MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions when they do.
Unusual Odors
Have you noticed a funny smell? Maybe it is only in one part of the building. Sudden bad smells can mean you have a problem with the cooling or heating system. Some creature may be in the duct system, or you could have a bacteria or mold buildup in the evaporator coils. Your HVAC repair specialists in Tacoma can usually solve these problems quickly.
Odd Noises
Do you hear a strange sound when the system fan runs? This is not usually a good sign. Here are some common noises which can happen:
- Banging – this is sometimes loose parts. It also could be a bad compressor
- Clunk – something is loose like a compressor or fan mount
- Buzzing – possible dirty filter or coils
- Squealing – sometimes fan bearings wear out and make squealing noises
- Humming – something loose in the system
If you hear any of these noises, you should err on the side of caution and call your HVAC repair company in Tacoma.
One Room or Area too Warm or Cold
Do you notice one part of the building colder or hotter than the rest? This often happens when airflow to one area gets reduced. Sometimes a clogged or leaky duct is the problem. In some cases, an employee may have closed one of the vents. If you cannot find out why you have uneven heating or cooling, talk to your HVAC specialists. He can inspect your system and help you increase efficiency and enjoy a more comfortable environment.
