HVAC maintenance schedules
By David Otieno, Senior ICT Consultant 1 min read
Clean filters, coils and drains and periodic checks keep air conditioning efficient and prevent failures in hot seasons.
Air conditioning systems lose efficiency and fail more often without maintenance.
Regular tasks
- Clean or replace filters.
- Clean condensate drains.
- Check for unusual noise or vibration.
Periodic tasks
- Clean indoor and outdoor coils.
- Check refrigerant pressures and electrical connections.
- Inspect fans and motors.
Critical spaces
Server rooms and medical areas need more frequent checks and monitoring.
Keep records
Record work per unit to spot recurring problems.
Monitor critical spaces
Temperature sensors with alerts in server rooms, pharmacies and laboratories give warning before equipment or stock is affected.
Plan replacements
Units approaching the end of their life become less efficient and less reliable. Budget for replacement rather than waiting for failure in the hottest month.
