PA Business Insurance: Maintaining Your HVAC Units!
1/20/2012 2:50:00 PM
While electrical appliances have the capacity to make our lives much easier, they should always be treated with care as they also have the ability to cause injury or damage if not correctly used or maintained. HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) systems installed in your workplace should be maintained and help keep your premises comfortable and safe. Faulty systems can increase the risk of expensive repairs, fire, injury, property damage, and PA business insurance claims.
To care for your HVAC units:
• For an indoor unit, filters should be changed monthly, and annually for a system which is housed on the rooftop.
• Change thermostat batteries each year, and monitor the thermostat to ensure it is working properly.
• Have the HVAC unit attended to promptly if it is not heating or cooling properly or it is making unusual noises.
• Keep the unit clear of objects which could get caught in it or which might prevent proper airflow.
• Arrange a yearly inspection by a professional HVAC service professional.
Proper maintenance on HVAC units should form part of your regular business risk management program, to help reduce the risk of fire, and help keep down the cost of PA business insurance coverage. Our agents can help you with any insurance queries!
