HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) systems play a key role in providing the comfort level for occupants of buildings. In these times of harsh and unpredictable climate, HVAC systems hold abundant importance to any building. With facilities come responsibilities. These HVAC systems demand constant maintenance. To get the desired and optimized efficiency, proper regular cleaning of filters and ducts is necessary in this regard. Saudi Arabia holds reasonably greater demand in the region of HVAC systems due to its unbearable climate zones.
When summer hits, you may feel too hot to want to take on any extra tasks, especially if those tasks involve HVAC maintenance. That is why it is a good idea to know what summer HVAC maintenance things you need to do before the hot weather sets in. Keep these tasks on your calendar for April or May when you do your spring cleaning to ensure you are ahead of the game.
Below are a few tips discussed for your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) system.
Cleaning Of Ducts
To get optimal efficiency from HVAC systems, it is very crucial to clean air ducts regularly. Over the months of usage, air ducts tend to get clogged by unwanted particles and debris that are present in atmospheric air.
Saudi Arabia where constant development of infrastructure is going on, although there are definite certain policies and regulations for the construction industry atmosphere tends to hold dust particles for longer spans thus getting sucked into the ducts of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) systems thereby affecting their overall efficiency. This affected performance has a direct impact on the overall operational costs of such systems.
Installation of Programmable Thermostats
With the evolution of technology-based thermostats, it is very feasible for people to adjust the thermostat systems according to their needs and schedules. Whether you’re looking for office or home HVAC systems convenience, these programmable thermostats get you going by handling all your cost concerns.
Program the thermostat for warmer temperatures while you’re at work and cooler ones when you’re home. This helps cut down costs on your monthly energy bill.
With the rise of inflation in every corner of the world, everyone is on the lookout for cutting operational costs of ventilation systems yet not compromising on efficiency.
Clean & Change the Air Filter
Filters play a significant role in maximizing the performance of your HVAC systems. Using of latest filters aided with advanced features makes HVAC systems operate on optimized levels. It is very important to clean them on a scheduled basis. There are many filter cleaning products available in the market that come with versatile usability.
Coil Cleaning
Your HVAC coils play a big part in making sure the system runs efficiently, reliably, and effectively. This can even lower heating and cooling costs while improving your indoor air quality. Those coils ensure your system runs at maximum operation efficiency, which provides better airflow, too. Meanwhile, dirty condenser coils can cause a lot of damage. This includes causing the cooling efficiency of your unit to drop, the air conditioning unit to not cool properly, which requires more energy consumption increasing your energy bill, and the unit’s energy efficiency to decline. Keep those coils clean and your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) unit will continue running at high efficiency.
Refrigerant Line Insulation
Have the refrigerant lines that lead into your home inspected monthly. That way, you can replace the lines if they’re missing or damaged. You can also seal your heating and cooling ducts. These ducts move air to and from a central air conditioner, which might waste energy. Sealing and insulating ducts can improve your HVAC’s energy efficiency by up to 20 percent. This includes ducts in crawlspaces, the attic, an unheated basement, or a garage. Once the ducts are sealed, wrap them in insulation. That way, they won’t get too hot or cold during the summer and winter months.
Air Purifiers
HVAC systems demand air to be clean and free of unwanted particles. To get HVAC systems run efficiently for longer spans, air purifiers can be installed near HVAC air-sucking ducts. By using these, HVAC operational costs can be minimized at drastic levels.
Seal Ducts
Sealing of ducts can also be used as a good option to get another benefit in utilizing the optimal performance of the HVAC system. Make sure to look out for any leakages or air sneaking out points and try to seal all air leakage points. Many chemical compounds are present in the market that provide a good source of sealing leakage points.
Conclusions
Saudi Arabia’s business Infrastructure hugely relies on good and reasonable HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) systems to cater to the needs of their businesses which eventually helps in leveraging the overall economy of the country. To have optimized performance of HVAC systems, maintaining HVAC systems is required at a greater level. The following above are key points to get your HVAC systems maintained and run efficiently in the longer run of their service.
