Avoid the Heat: Commercial AC Repair in College Station

The level of commercial and business in College Station would be impossible without air conditioning. There is not enough gentle breeze during the summer months to cool multi-storied buildings or the vast expanses of warehouse or manufacturing space. The city of College Station rates high in the number of hours of air conditioning per day (17.9 hours), and air conditioning is required for about 9 months out of the year. Commerce is unimaginable without AC.

If you find your business without air conditioning this summer, it might seem overwhelming.

• It will be hard for a business to invite customers and clients to a hot, steamy location
• It will be hard for customers and clients to come to a hot, steamy location
• It will be hard to convince loyal staff to come to a hot, steamy location

However, trying to “weather the storm” is not the time to panic; it takes some reasoned and measured steps, including these.

Prepare ahead with a relationship with a commercial HVAC contractor. Being a regular customer provides a distinct advantage in these situations. An emergency call from a valued client generally elicits a quick response. Do not ignore this relationship.

Assess the problem carefully.

Is the problem localized, or does it extend to the entire facility?

• If it is localized, examine the space for covered vents or returns. Perhaps rearranging furniture or fixtures has inadvertently obscured the opening and has reduced airflow through the air conditioning system.
• If the entire space is affected, start by checking the circuit breakers. Commercial electric service panels are usually larger than those found in personal residences, but they should be very well-marked. Often, large components will have breakers as part of the safety features, so check the air handlers as well. If you find a tripped breaker, turn it completely to the OFF position and push it back to the ON Position. If the system is restored to power, you might have some respite. Be watchful since the breaker may trip again. Either way, call the HVAC technician to ensure the system continues to function properly.
• If the breaker(s) has not tripped, next check the controls. Commercial facilities may have thermostats or may have HVAC control software. Ensure that the control has power, whether batteries or power from the electrical system. Restoring power to the controls may restore the system and give everyone some relief. Either way, call the HVAC technician to ensure the system performs as designed.

While waiting for the emergency visit from your preferred air conditioning technician:

• Open windows if possible.
• Use all available fans.

Moving air does not make the air cooler, but it does facilitate evaporation on the skin. This will make people feel cooler, so try to make people as comfortable as possible. Make sure you communicate well with staff and customers.

The key step, though, is to schedule regular preventative maintenance visits with the commercial HVAC contractor. Maintenance is the best way to prevent breakdowns before they happen and keep everyone comfortable and healthy. This step prevents costly interruptions in business and preserves your stellar reputation for customer service.
