Commercial Heat Pump Repairs

When your commercial heat pump is acting strangely or not providing comfortable temperatures, the Aire Serv of Lake Oswego service professionals can help ensure it returns to proper functioning before you need a complete heat pump replacement.

During a commercial heat pump repair appointment, our experts will thoroughly inspect your unit to diagnose the source of the problem. Once identified, we will repair and replace any components that are broken or showing signs of wear. Repairing and replacing can include examining the system’s electrical wiring, repairing parts such as the compressor or air handler, refilling refrigerant, or cleaning or replacing air filters. In addition, we will inspect auxiliary systems such as ductwork or thermostats. Once we have completed any heat pump repairs needed, we can discuss a preventative maintenance plan to avoid future problems.

Preventative Maintenance

Aire Serv of Lake Oswego recommends regular maintenance in order to prevent costly and stressful heat pump repairs. Our team of experts suggests scheduling a check-up twice a year to ensure your commercial heat pump is operating at peak efficiency. Regular preventative maintenance can not just help you avoid breakdowns but can extend the life of your commercial heat pump, saving money and time.

Commercial Heat Pump Replacement and Installation

When commercial heat pump repairs become more frequent and costly, it may be time to consider heat pump replacement. The Aire Serv of Lake Oswego team excels at managing complex commercial heat pump installations, including connecting electrical systems or ductwork and removing old systems.

Switching to a commercial heat pump or upgrading your current system involves deciding which system is best for your business. Factors such as building size, the number of individual spaces needing heating or cooling, the Lake Oswego area climate, and your business’ budget can affect the new commercial heat pump you install. Our service professionals are happy to look at your property and help you decide what works for your company’s needs.

We aim to make the task of replacing or installing a new commercial heat pump as non-disruptive as possible so you can continue to run your business. The time commitment for a commercial heat pump installation can vary. Although more complex than residential units, a commercial air-source unit can usually be installed in a single day, depending on the weather and the building’s existing heating and cooling system. If your heat pump requires ductwork installation, installation time will take longer. Geothermal heat pump system installations are also more lengthy, requiring evaluating the land and soil and digging into the ground to install loops.

Benefits of Heat Pump Replacement

Switching to a commercial heat pump or upgrading to a newer model comes with many benefits, including:

• Increased energy efficiency
• Less environmental impact
• Reduced repair and maintenance costs
• Lower heating and cooling costs
• A longer life span for your heat pump

Commercial vs. Residential Heat Pumps

Commercial heat pumps differ from residential heat pumps with a few crucial differences:

Unit size: Commercial heat pumps are larger than residential units since they need to heat or cool a larger area.

Energy use: A commercial heat pump must work harder to cover a business's more extensive square footage.

Number of thermostats: While one thermostat can usually maintain an even and comfortable temperature across a home, commercial heat pumps use multiple thermostats for zone temperature control and greater coverage.

Modularity: Many commercial heat pumps are packaged units instead of a two-part indoor and outdoor system common to residential properties. Packaged units are modular, meaning changes and upgrades to an installed system are easier.

Installation Area: Commercial heat pumps are usually installed on a building’s rooftop instead of in a yard space next to a home. Rooftop installation allows for saved space and less disruption when the unit needs maintenance.
