The maintenance of your facility’s commercial air conditioning systems is a big job, with many responsibilities involved. You may have had the same company looking after your systems for a number of years, which can make it difficult to know if they are letting you down. The signs below can provide you with clues that indicate it may be time to find a new commercial air conditioning maintenance company in your area.
Personal Service Has Started To Slip
A growing company is generally a successful company, however, when a company gets so large that personal service becomes non-existent, it could be a sign that it’s time to look elsewhere. A smaller company has the time to get to know you, learn about your business, gain a complete understanding of what you do and use this knowledge to work around your schedule, in addition to being able to provide you with the resources and expertise you need.
Air Filters Haven’t Been Cleaned Or Changed For Some Time
If you’ve noticed that the employees in your facility are sneezing a lot, it may be more than a virus; it could be the state of your system’s air filters. If the filters in your system are clogged, not only will air flow be drastically reduced but dust and other allergens could bypass the clogged filters and enter working areas. Dust could dislodge from filters and travel to various areas in large amounts, which can also negatively affect air quality. A properly-maintained air conditioning and ventilation system will have its filters cleaned or changed regularly.
They’re Not Picking Up The Phone
Are you having trouble reaching your maintenance company when you need to book an inspection, maintenance or service appointment? Perhaps you just need to have a question answered. Whatever the reason for your call, a company that’s become consistently more difficult to get hold of may no longer be offering you the level of support you desire.
Your Facility’s Energy Bills Are Increasing
If it’s been brought to your attention that your facility’s utility bill is higher than it used to be, it may be due to more than rising energy rates. Neglected air conditioning systems must work harder to achieve the desired result, causing higher-than-normal utility bills. Your systems should not be working harder than they need to in order to maintain optimum temperatures in your building, especially not after having been serviced.
Intermittent Air Flow
If airflow from your air conditioning or ventilation system is inconsistent or weak after you’ve had maintenance carried out with your current company, that maintenance was likely not performed properly.

Breaking ties with your current air conditioning maintenance company may not be an easy decision to make. Contact ACE Services today and, we’re more than happy to help!
