If you have a big office with a number of employees, your profits can be impacted by how well you take care of the office space. When the environment is hot and stuffy, your employees are going to be unmotivated to work. Good air conditioning maintenance involves getting your system serviced before you need to use it daily to keep the office cool. In addition, you will need to know how to change out air filters and have your system checked periodically for efficiency. When the comfort of your employees depends on a air conditioning, build a relationship with your HVAC contractor now so that you know who you are going to call in the event an emergency.

Keep Air Flowing

To keep your air conditioning optimized, you will want pay attention to how air flows throughout your office. Good ventilation and fans are necessary so that the temperature within your space is more even. Make sure that you don't have any large file cabinets or book cases blocking air vents. If you have copiers or printers that generate heat, make sure that the room they are in is cool enough. If they are in a small room, the door should stay open if possible.

Allow Minimal Control of Thermostats

In a large office space, you are not going to be able to keep everyone happy with the temperature. A common air conditioning setting is 68-70 degrees. If you allow to many people access to the thermostat, you are going to be dealing with temperature fluctuations throughout the day. Your employees won't enjoy the changes in temperature and your system is not going to be running as efficiently as it can.

Watch for Problems From Hot Weather

When you are running an air conditioning system to optimize temperatures in your office, windows should be closed. When a window or two is left open, your system is not going to be able to stabilize the temperature in your office. If a particular room is shut off from the air conditioning, that room is going to get excessively hot. Check that your vents are open and that equipment isn't getting too hot. 

As a business owner, the productivity of your employees will depend on how comfortable they are. Pay attention to the temperature within your office and look for ways to keep the temperature moderate. Get your air conditioning serviced to make sure it is running efficiently and to avoid emergency repairs.
