Spring Cleaning Checklist for Your Facility

Here’s a spring cleaning checklist to keep your industrial cooling system operating at peak efficiency:

1. Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Contact Action Air Systems to schedule a comprehensive preventative maintenance visit. Our technicians will inspect your entire cooling system, including:

• Air Filters: Dirty air filters restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. We’ll recommend a cleaning or replacement schedule based on your system and usage.
• Cooling Coils: Clogged coils can significantly impact cooling performance. Our technicians will clean the coils to ensure optimal heat transfer.
• Belts and Pulleys: Worn belts can slip and reduce efficiency. We’ll inspect belts for wear and replace them if necessary.
• Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels can lead to poor cooling and potential compressor damage. Our technicians will check refrigerant levels and top them off if needed.
• Electrical Components: We’ll inspect electrical connections for any signs of damage or corrosion to ensure safe and reliable operation.

2. Clean Up Around Your Unit
Remove any debris, like leaves, branches, or trash, that may have accumulated around the outdoor unit during winter. Good airflow is essential for efficient cooling.

3. Check for Leaks
Look for any visible leaks around your cooling system, including pipes, connections, and the drain pan.  Promptly address any leaks to prevent water damage and potential system issues.

4. Test Your Thermostat
Ensure your thermostat is set to the appropriate cooling temperature for your facility and operating correctly.

By taking proactive measures this spring, you can ensure your industrial cooling system is ready to tackle the summer heat and maintain a comfortable and productive work environment.
