Ventilation is a key part of building design for both homes and businesses, as it provides a steady supply of fresh air to your space and removes harmful or unpleasant fumes such as smoke, cooking odors, and more. Our team at Johnson’s Mechanical Inc. has extensive experience in working on both residential and commercial ventilation, and you can count on us to keep your system in good working order. In this article, we will go over a few examples of common problems we see in commercial ventilation systems to help you know what to look for.
- Clogged Filters – As your commercial ventilation system circulates air through your building, dust will collect inside the ducts and vents. To combat dust buildup, ventilation systems use air filters to trap the dust, but even these will become clogged over time. If you want your ventilation system to remain in good working condition, you will need to change your air filters regularly, ideally every three months.
- Fan Malfunctions – Your commercial ventilation system uses a series of fans to move air from one part of your building to another. If these fans malfunction, the affected rooms will start to feel stuffy and will not receive climate-controlled air from the furnace or air conditioning. Our team has the right experience to repair broken fan mechanisms to restore your ventilation system to excellent condition.
- Electrical Problems – Lastly, there are instances when your commercial ventilation system can malfunction due to electrical problems. You can count on our team to diagnose the source of the issue and provide the necessary repairs to get your ventilation working again.
