Is your commercial AC performing below par? Like any other appliance, the AC will have problems now and then. Because of their size, commercial ACs need closer attention than residential ACs and present more complex problems because of their size. Most commercial premises have ducted air conditioning; hence the duct system is one of the most common sources of problems. However, duct problems like leakages can go unnoticed because the ductwork is usually hidden for aesthetic purposes. Here are some problems that will require air conditioning repair services. 

1. Poor Ductwork Design

If the ductwork is not installed correctly, you'll waste energy—and money—over time. The poor design will cause problems because air delivery is poor and fluctuates from the expected. Poor ductwork design can be seen in the poor placement of registers and grills and poor termination of ducts. The remedy to this problem would require redesigning the ductwork.

2. Dirty Clogged Ducts 

If your commercial building is suffering from low humidity, your ducts may be clogged. Dirty ducts also form good breeding grounds for mold and fungi, which make people ill. This issue can be resolved with a simple cleaning. Invite AC services to inspect, clean, and disinfect the ductwork.

3. Leaking Ducts 

Leaking ducts are a major reason to call in commercial AC repair services. Depending on how leaky your ducts are and where they're located, you could be losing thousands of dollars in wasted energy every year. 

AC repair services will reseal the leakages to prevent the loss of conditioned air. If your building has aging ductwork that can't be sealed properly or is extensively corroded, you might need to consider replacing it.

4. Poor Sealing of Registers and Grills 

This is perhaps one of the most common problems that occur with ducted systems. Poorly sealed registers and grills are a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria. It can also lead to other problems like poor airflow and reduced energy efficiency. 

When you have your ducts checked, make sure your AC repair professionals check all your registers and vents to ensure they're properly sealed. Luckily, AC technicians can fix this problem quickly.

5. Twists and Kinks Causing Poor Airflow 

Often, when a new system is installed, or a replacement is installed, there can be twists and kinks that cause poor airflow, lowering the efficiency of the unit. This problem often arises when ductwork is improperly sized and does not fit snugly in the conduits.

Poor airflow can cause poor productivity and discomfort in the workplace, so you should have AC ductwork inspected and repaired as necessary. Contact air conditioning repair services to schedule a thorough inspection and recommend fixes for arising problems.
