Georgia summers are unforgiving on commercial cooling equipment. The systems that sail through July and August are the ones that received thorough preventive maintenance in the spring.
Your Spring Readiness Checklist
- Clean Condenser and Evaporator Coils: Dirty coils force compressors to work harder and can cut cooling capacity dramatically.
- Test Refrigerant Charge: Low charge reduces efficiency and can cause compressor damage under peak load.
- Inspect Belts and Bearings: Replace worn belts now, not during the first heat wave.
- Calibrate Controls and Thermostats: Verify setpoints, schedules, and economizer operation.
- Check Electrical Connections: Loose connections are a leading cause of summer breakdowns.
A spring tune-up is a fraction of the cost of an emergency call in August. Get your facility on the schedule before the heat arrives.
