Common HVAC issues in Toronto and how to prevent them

Problem: Unusable thermostat

Temperature fluctuations can result from inaccurate thermostat settings or broken thermostats, making certain places excessively hot or cold. Usually, dead batteries are the main culprit. A malfunctioning wiring system could possibly be the cause of the problem if your smart thermostat is programmed.

Firstly, make sure the batteries are replaced. But if that doesn't resolve the problem, we advise getting in touch with an expert. Although you might be tempted to push every button and hope for the best, you run the danger of inadvertently destroying anything.

Problem: Airflow Issues

Your residential/commercial HVAC system may be strained by inadequate airflow brought on by clogged ducts, unclean filters, or broken fans. Inadequate airflow can overwork the system, result in uneven heating or cooling, and possibly wear out system components permanently.

To guarantee clear airflow, routinely check and clean the filters, vents, and air ducts. When necessary, replace any broken or clogged ducting. To increase airflow efficiency, you might also think about installing variable-speed fans, however, a certified HVAC specialist should handle this installation.

Problem: Strange Sounds

One quiet day at work, you notice a loud noise coming from the ducts and vents. HVAC systems will make strange noises to let you know when anything is amiss. Noises such as tapping, slamming, and screaming indicate a loose or broken part.

Trust your gut and give your preferred HVAC professional a call if you hear something weird. They are proficient in determining the root problem with a full suite of diagnostic tools. You'll be shocked at what they may discover.

Problem: Dirty Coils

Evaporator and condenser coils are the two types of coils in commercial HVAC systems that require ongoing maintenance. All of the heat is gathered indoors by the former, and it is then released outdoors by the latter. Over time, these coils become blocked and unclean, making your system work harder and less efficiently.

It is necessary for a qualified service expert to handle this task. Using precise instruments, they will remove the condenser and evaporator coils safely and clean them.
