Building Repairs and Improvements

There are several structural attributes that can have a positive or negative impact on overall efficiency and HVAC performance.

Small hairline cracks in walls or foundations may seem like an unavoidable and minor problem, but they could indicate structural issues like subsidence, shrinkage or other disturbances. Foundation settling could also cause improper or misaligned doors or windows, resulting in drafts and air leaks. These types of issues will lead to lost heated or cooled air, decreasing comfort and increasing HVAC costs. These types of drafts also force your HVAC to work harder than necessary to maintain the proper temperature, costing you money you shouldn’t need to spend.

Inadequate or old insulation is also a common problem in older commercial structures. There are still a surprising number of commercial structures in Dallas that have asbestos insulation, which may now be inefficient in addition to hazardous. Upgrading insulation or adding it in spaces that lack insulation currently will reduce the strain on your HVAC system, enhancing indoor comfort and saving you money in the long run.

Failure to schedule routine HVAC maintenance can also contribute to increased cooling and heating costs. Some of the problems that can be addressed during HVAC maintenance may impact overall efficiency. Performance issues also indirectly influence operating costs in that the HVAC system may need to consume more fuel or energy to maintain the temperature set on the thermostat. A furnace or air conditioner that works harder than it should need to is at risk of more frequent breakdowns, which could potentially necessitate expensive HVAC replacement projects.

Temperature control and the regulation of indoor air quality are not free, but they can be made more affordable through insulation assessments and modifications, ductwork improvements and HVAC maintenance and efficiency upgrades. Tom’s Commercial has extensive experience helping Dallas businesses save money while more effectively heating and cooling their structures, and we’d be happy to assess your building’s needs. 

Enhancing Productivity and Reducing Absenteeism

Work environments that are healthy and comfortable have cascading benefits that can impact operating costs. Well-being and comfort can influence the productivity of employees. Maintaining an optimal temperature and humidity level in your business may also make it a more comfortable environment for customers or clients. A lack of predictable and reliable temperature control may negatively affect your business’s reputation and the likelihood that customers will want to visit your premises.

Absenteeism and frequent use of paid sick leave can also increase a business’s operating costs. It’s always preferable to have a worker in the office or on the sales floor getting paid for doing their job rather than paying a sick worker to stay home and recover. Respiratory issues, allergies and viruses are all potential risks when indoor air quality isn’t properly maintained. Your HVAC system plays a vital role in the health of your business, and neglecting its upkeep can negatively influence the health of your employees and increase your business’s operating costs.
