Introduction
HVAC systems are the heart of residential and commercial buildings. Proper and periodic maintenance of these systems not only extends the life of the equipment, but also optimizes energy consumption and reduces costs.
In this article, we have prepared a comprehensive and practical checklist for periodic servicing and maintenance of engine rooms and ventilation systems to ensure the optimal performance of your systems.
Service and inspection of hot water and steam boilers
Boilers are the most important part of the engine room, and their proper functioning has a direct impact on the heating of the building.
Daily/Weekly Inspection:
- Checking the boiler’s operating pressure and temperature
- Water level control and safety valve
Monthly inspection:
- Cleaning interior surfaces and checking for leaks
- Flame and burner inspection
Result: Regular boiler maintenance reduces fuel consumption and prevents damage to components.
Pump and mechanical equipment checklist
Pumps and mechanical equipment provide the flow of water and air in HVAC systems.
Weekly inspection:
Oil and grease level control
Hearing unusual noises or vibrations from the pump
Monthly inspection:
Checking the couplings and pump shaft
Checking valves and pipes
Result: Smooth operation of pumps reduces electricity consumption and extends the life of equipment.
Inspecting and cleaning ventilation systems and ducts
Air conditioning systems play a key role in building air quality.
Monthly:
Cleaning the filter and dampers
Checking air flow and duct pressure
Seasonal:
Complete cleaning of channels and vents
Checking the performance of fans
The result: healthier air, optimized energy consumption, and better HVAC system performance.
Checking and inspecting the electrical system and controls
Electrical and control systems play the role of commanding the HVAC system.
Monthly inspection:
Check wiring, relays, and fuses
Testing thermostats and controllers
Result: Preventing sudden failures and reducing energy consumption
