HVAC is one of those features within a building that everyone seems to take for granted. It’s understandable, too. HVAC systems often last 15 to 20 years—or even more—with minimal maintenance work. But when you walk into the office one morning and the heating or cooling is out, suddenly HVAC becomes your top concern. Wouldn’t you like to relieve that stress, at least partially?
Find Emergency HVAC Repair Services Before You Need Them
When an emergency failure of your HVAC system occurs, your entire operation slows down or even grinds to a halt. Without developing a plan for this situation beforehand, you could be prone to rash decisions, exceeding your budget just to get the heat back on. Without a plan in place, even if that plan is just knowing whom to call, the outage could go on for days or even longer.
People come up with all kinds of makeshift solutions, but none of these can really get the job done. To minimize the time between your system failing and getting back to work, it could be a good idea to speak with your local HVAC contractor of choice ahead of time. Many regular preventative maintenance plans have emergency service built in. Generally, this only works if you have an existing relationship with a service expert.
Avoid Emergency Heating Repairs in the First Place
You can’t avoid all disaster scenarios, but you can take steps to reduce the number of HVAC emergencies in your future.
Ensure the Water Is Properly Treated
To prevent issues like hard-scale build up and oxygen pitting, water inside boilers needs to be properly treated with chemicals designed to protect carbon steel, the material most boilers are constructed from. High-carbon steel is an incredibly strong material, but it is prone to issues that cause it to weaken and degrade over time. Aside from the danger of a boiler that becomes damaged over time, efficiency will take a hit if the boiler is not properly maintained.
Preventative Maintenance

HVAC systems are, just like your car, intricate systems that need regular maintenance to have a realistic chance at a long lifespan. Regular preventative maintenance solves many small issues before they balloon into HVAC disasters.
Regular Inspections
At the core of this is making sure you don’t keep HVAC service on the backburner. It’s not uncommon for business owners to forget about their heating and cooling. Scheduling regular inspections is a good way to do your due diligence with minimal business interruption.
