Spring & Summer HVAC Building Prep Checklist

HVAC System Maintenance

• Schedule Preventative Maintenance with your HVAC service provider.
• Inspect & Clean condenser and evaporator coils for optimal cooling efficiency.
• Check refrigerant levels and fix any leaks.
• Replace or clean air filters to ensure proper airflow and indoor air quality.
• Calibrate thermostats and BAS controls for energy efficiency.
• Test and balance air distribution to ensure even cooling.
• Inspect and clean cooling towers and chillers, including water treatment.
• Check and seal ductwork to prevent energy loss.
• Ensure dehumidifiers and humidity controls are operational.

Building Systems & Energy Efficiency

• Seal doors and windows to prevent heat gain and improve efficiency.
• Inspect insulation to minimize cooling costs.
• Assess ventilation system performance to maintain indoor air quality.
• Check electrical systems and connections for HVAC equipment.
• Schedule an energy audit to identify additional efficiency improvements.
• Optimize HVAC zoning controls to prevent overcooling.

Storm & Power Outage Readiness

• Test backup power systems (generators, UPS) in case of outages.
• Inspect rooftop HVAC units and drainage systems to prevent water damage.
• Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent blockages and flooding.

Facility & Staff Preparedness

• Train facility managers and staff on thermostat settings and emergency procedures.
• Encourage smart cooling practices (closing blinds, adjusting temperatures after hours).
• Document maintenance history for reference and compliance.
