A commercial HVAC system is essential for comfort and indoor air quality, but it’s also a complex piece of equipment that requires proper care to stay safe and reliable. Ignoring maintenance can lead to costly repairs, energy waste, or even safety hazards.

Here are key HVAC safety tips every property manager or building owner should follow—brought to you by AirBoss Heating & Air.

1. Schedule Regular Professional Inspections

Have your system inspected at least twice a year—spring and fall.

  • Detects potential electrical issues

  • Ensures gas and refrigerant lines are sealed and secure

  • Keeps warranties valid

2. Change Filters on Time

Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder.

  • Replace filters every 1–3 months depending on building use

  • Improves air quality and reduces fire risk

3. Keep Equipment Areas Clear

Never block vents or crowd mechanical rooms.

  • Maintain at least 2–3 feet of clearance around HVAC equipment

  • Reduces risk of overheating or accidental damage

4. Inspect Ductwork and Electrical Connections

Loose or damaged ducts and wires can waste energy or create hazards.

  • Look for signs of fraying or corrosion

  • Call a professional if anything appears damaged

5. Test Safety Controls and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Safety sensors and CO detectors must work properly to protect occupants from leaks or malfunctions.

6. Train Staff on HVAC Awareness

Educate employees or tenants to:

  • Report strange noises, odors, or leaks

  • Avoid tampering with thermostat settings or equipment panels
