As the seasons change, being proactive with maintenance can save property managers time and money, while simplifying the day-to-day operations. Staying on top of regular maintenance can also extend the lifespan of your equipment, allowing you to maximize your budgets and avoid any unexpected surprises.
The new Commercial CoolSaver Program offers free A/C tune-ups for HVAC systems – plus exclusive instant discounts on a variety of high efficiency upgrades to York region non-residential customers, including schools, property management companies, community colleges, factories, malls, and large or small scale commercial facilities. The tune-up service is offered by trained, certified professionals to identify any potential issues with your HVAC system, allowing you to better manage your budgets and plan for the future.
WHY IS IT FREE?
York Region has been selected as an area with identified electricity needs, and an AC tune-up will help you reduce your electricity consumption and save on energy costs.
“Save On Energy is offering this service at no cost to encourage property managers to take a proactive approach that goes beyond standard maintenance such as filter changes,” says Amandeep Bharaj, Associate Conservation Account Manager at CLEAResult. “This funding provides managers with incentives to undertake preventative maintenance this spring.”
Getting ahead of the warmer weather can ensure that your facility stays comfortable, and your equipment remains functional throughout the season. “Summer is coming and there will be peak days where everyone is using their air conditioners, which puts a hefty load on the grid,” says Bharaj. “Completing the tune-up gives you the peace of mind in knowing that your air conditioner will be reliable and efficient through the season.”
The Commercial CoolSaver Program, while free to participants, has a value of $1040 with refrigerant adjustment. The tune-up is very thorough and can be completed on both rooftop units and split central air A/C systems for commercial buildings. Recommended to be completed every five years in tandem with regular annual maintenance, the free tune-ups include airflow correction, air filter cleaning or replacement, digital refrigerant analysis, and cleaning of the indoor blower, evaporator coils, and condenser coils.
THE BENEFITS OF AN A/C TUNE-UP
Beyond ensuring that your unit is in working order, the tune-up improves your equipment’s performance with better indoor air quality, along with longer-lasting, better-working cooling equipment. These improvements lead to higher tenant satisfaction, improved comfort, and reduced energy and maintenance costs. As well, should the experts find any issues with your equipment, you can address those immediately, taking advantage of instant discounts covering refrigerant, belts, controls, fans, and other energy-efficiency upgrades.
