The average Canadian spends over $4000 on energy bills every year. With it being so expensive, the last thing you want is to have expensive HVAC repairs on top of the cost of running it.

Despite that, many people don't get annual HVAC maintenance because they don't see the point or don't want to pay for it.

If you're cynical about the idea of requiring HVAC maintenance services every year, here's a guide as to why they're necessary.

People spend the vast majority of their time indoors. Since we spend so much time inside, it's important to ensure that the spaces we occupy are healthy. What may come as a shock to you is that many times, the air quality indoors isn't the best that it could be. 

Subpar air quality can have health implications for people with long-term exposure. Some of these can include allergies, fatigue, and breathing problems. There are some things that you can do, however, to improve the air in your home.

Here are five HVAC tips to help you and others breathe easier indoors.

Statistics show that only 42% of homeowners have their AC units maintained by a professional.

Have you had your AC unit checked recently for any issues with performance? Does your air conditioner handle the heat or does its efficiency wane when the temperatures rise?

You might be surprised to learn that the average person spends approximately ninety percent of their time indoors, where air testing can show a much higher concentration of pollutants than in most outdoor concentrations. When indoors, airborne toxins and pollutants are more easily trapped and repeatedly circulated through the same space. Thankfully, a quality air purifier can be of great help in reducing such irritants, allowing you to reap the benefits of cleaner, purer indoor air.

Perhaps you are considering investing in air purifiers for your business, office or commercial building. If so, you should know there are plenty of ways commercial air purifiers can improve indoor air quality for your employees and clients. This brief guide will break down the key benefits.

Your commercial HVAC system is one of the most important parts of your business. It keeps your employees coming to work on cold or hot days, makes them comfortable, and lets them focus on their job without distraction. 

So what happens if it stops working?

You don't want to get to that point. We've put together this guide to help you spot five warning signs that mean you need to replace your HVAC system before it's too late. 

Let's get started! 

No matter what type of HVAC system your home or commercial building employs, it's important that you remember the system is made up of electronics and mechanical parts. Much like a car, the components of your HVAC system will eventually wear down or even fail entirely.

That means you need a plan in place for keeping ahead of these inevitable, but predictable problems. The simplest way you can stay ahead of them is with an annual or quarterly HVAC maintenance plan. Not sure what should go into that plan?

Do you notice that employees in your commercial building are suffering from coughs and congestion? Do you find yourself often combatting odours that you can't explain or humidity issues? These are all signs that you're experiencing poor air quality. 

Ignoring these signs of poor air quality can lead to long-term health issues, especially for people who are already suffering from asthma or allergies. Read on to learn more signs of air quality issues and our recommendations for how to handle them.

Commercial buildings use 12% of Canada's energy. While that doesn't seem like a lot, keep in mind the sector grew 22% between 1990 and 2010. As the commercial building sector grows, so does the drain on the electrical grid.

No matter what industry your business services, a functioning HVAC system is an absolute necessity for your building or office. Routine maintenance spots problems before they arise, saving you from unnecessary expenses.

It is important that you keep your air conditioner clean, be it a window unit or a centralized one. Getting it serviced periodically is crucial if you want the air conditioner to work efficiently. Everything has a lifespan, including your air conditioner; you will have to replace it at some point in time. In the course of this blog, we will discuss a few signs that will help you determine if your air conditioner needs replacing. Chill-Air has over 100 years of experience in installing, maintaining and repairing air conditioners. We provide HVAC services that you can rely on. Our products include commercial air conditioning, refrigeration, heating, hot water systems, sheet metal and ducting.

A faulty refrigeration system can be critical to your business, especially in the food and restaurant industry. A flawed refrigeration system can lead to a huge loss for your business, as raw meat and other food have to be stored at an optimal cool temperature. Timely maintenance and repair will ensure the refrigeration system is working properly. Commercial refrigeration systems are different and complicated when compared to home appliances, so you have to rely on a professional technician for any issues or repair.
