Preparing your commercial heating system during the summer is one of the smartest decisions you can make to ensure everything runs smoothly once the cold Montréal weather returns. At AirGreen, we know that commercial heating is the backbone of your productivity in winter, which is why we highlight the importance of preventive maintenance, especially during the warmer months.
Getting Ahead of Winter in the Summer: A Winning Strategy
Summer means warmth, air conditioning, and comfort... but it's also the perfect time to service your heating systems. Why? Because your equipment is off, which allows for a full inspection with no pressure and no disruption to your operations.
During this time, our technicians can analyze, clean, and fine-tune your commercial HVAC system without interfering with your daily activities. This natural downtime becomes a golden opportunity to detect and correct any anomalies, replace worn-out parts, and prepare your system to take on the harshest months of the year.
Real Benefits of Summer Maintenance
Doing maintenance work in the summer brings immediate and long-term benefits:
-
Significant reduction in winter breakdowns: Malfunctions are often due to undetected wear and tear. Summer maintenance helps prevent them.
-
Optimized energy efficiency: A properly calibrated system consumes less and heats better, reducing your operating costs.
-
Extended lifespan of your equipment: A well-maintained system lasts longer, protecting your investment.
-
Compliance with manufacturer warranties: Many warranties require regular maintenance to remain valid.

Assessment of the equipment's energy performance
Case Study: Heat Pump Maintenance on the South Shore
One of our clients in Longueuil, owner of a three-story office building, contacted us last summer for preventive maintenance on a Bosch BOVA 36K central heat pump. During our inspection, we detected a slight drop in pressure in the refrigerant circuit—a sign of a micro leak. Thanks to our prompt intervention, we sealed the leak, recharged the R-410A refrigerant, and restored optimal performance. The result: no service calls the following winter and a 12% reduction in energy use compared to the previous year.

The Common Mistake: Waiting for a Breakdown
Unfortunately, many businesses wait until the system breaks down to take action, which leads to:
-
High emergency repair costs

Loss of comfort for staff and customers

Service interruptions, which can be critical depending on the sector
