-
Enhanced Reliability: Identify and fix issues before they become critical.
-
Energy Savings: A well-maintained air conditioner consumes considerably less electricity.
-
Compliance with Environmental Standards: Ensure your system meets current ecological and energy efficiency standards.
Comprehensive Spring Checklist for Your Commercial Air Conditioner
1. General Inspection of the Commercial Air Conditioner
Our experts begin with an initial inspection that covers all visible and hidden aspects of your HVAC system:
-
External unit check: overall cleanliness, condition of fan blades, potential obstructions.
-
Internal inspection: checking for leaks, component corrosion, refrigerant fluid levels (R-32, R-410a, etc.).
-
Detailed electrical inspection: securing electrical connections, measuring voltage and current to prevent any risk of failure or fire.
2. Thorough Cleaning of Indoor and Outdoor Units
A thorough cleaning significantly improves indoor air quality and system efficiency:
-
Complete cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils.
-
Removing accumulated dust and dirt from air filters and ventilation grilles built up over winter.
-
Sanitizing ducts to prevent mold or bacterial growth—particularly critical in busy commercial spaces.
3. Checking Refrigerant Levels
Refrigerant plays a crucial role in your air conditioner's cooling capacity. At AirGreen, we carry out:
-
Precise measurement of refrigerant levels to detect potential leaks.
-
Refilling refrigerant when needed, using products compliant with current environmental standards (R-32, etc.).
-
Immediate leak repairs to maintain optimal performance.
4. Thermostat Inspection and Calibration
A poorly calibrated thermostat can lead to unnecessary energy expenses. Our team ensures:
-
The thermostat operates correctly and is accurately calibrated.
-
Temperature settings meet your specific needs while following best energy practices.
-
Remote controls function flawlessly for optimal management of your commercial spaces.
5. Drainage and Condensation System Check
Water condensation buildup in your system can cause serious property damage:
-
Full inspection of the drainage system: pipes, condensate pump, and water collection pan.
-
Clearing potential obstructions to prevent water overflow in your commercial facilities.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing Your Air Conditioner for Summer
Here are common errors many commercial property owners make in spring—and how to avoid them:
-
Ignoring minor signs of malfunction: Even a slight unusual noise or sudden increase in energy costs could indicate a significant issue.
-
Only replacing air filters: Although changing filters is crucial, a comprehensive professional inspection is necessary to ensure the entire system’s safety and efficiency.
