Breathe Better Specializes in Looking After Commercial HVAC Systems


Proper maintenance and cleaning of commercial HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are essential for their efficient operation and to ensure good indoor air quality. Here are some tips for commercial HVAC cleaning:

1. Regular filter replacement: Filters in HVAC systems should be checked regularly and replaced as needed. Clogged or dirty filters can restrict airflow and reduce system efficiency. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for filter replacement frequency.


2. Cleaning of coils: The evaporator and condenser coils in HVAC systems can accumulate dust, dirt, and debris over time, affecting their efficiency. Regularly inspect and clean these coils using appropriate cleaning methods and products. Consider hiring a professional service for coil cleaning.


3. Cleaning of air ducts: Air ducts can accumulate dust, allergens, and contaminants. Periodic cleaning of air ducts helps maintain good indoor air quality and system efficiency. Professional duct cleaning services can use specialized equipment to thoroughly clean the ductwork.


4. Condensate drain maintenance: Condensate drains can become clogged with algae, debris, or sediment. Regularly inspect and clean the condensate drain lines to prevent blockages and potential water damage. If necessary, use a mild bleach solution to disinfect the drain lines.


5. Inspection and cleaning of fans and fan blades: Fans and fan blades can accumulate dirt and debris, affecting their performance. Inspect and clean the fans and fan blades regularly to maintain optimal airflow. Use appropriate cleaning methods and tools recommended by the manufacturer.


6. Maintenance of outdoor units: Outdoor units can be exposed to debris, leaves, and other obstructions. Regularly inspect and clean the outdoor units, removing any debris that may hinder airflow. Trim vegetation around the units to ensure proper airflow and access for maintenance.


7. Professional maintenance and cleaning: Consider hiring professional HVAC technicians to perform regular maintenance and cleaning of your commercial HVAC system. They have the expertise, tools, and knowledge to conduct thorough inspections, identify potential issues, and provide proper cleaning and maintenance.


8. Regular system inspections: Schedule regular inspections of your HVAC system to identify any issues or potential areas of concern. Early detection of problems can help prevent costly repairs and maintain system efficiency. Remember, proper cleaning and maintenance of your commercial HVAC system are crucial for optimal performance, energy efficiency, and good indoor air quality.


Following these tips and consulting with professionals can help ensure that your system operates effectively and provides a comfortable and healthy environment for occupants.

In their latest article, Trusted Saskatoon Heating Experts at JOB share tips on HVAC unit maintenance to prepare for the upcoming fall temperatures.

Don't Fall Behind With HVAC Unit Maintenance 

Temperatures are getting lower which means fall is slowly starting to settle into Saskatchewan. Before it gets too cold from the harsh winter months, you may want to do some maintenance on your HVAC unit to ensure it is in tip top shape. The last thing you want is for your furnace to give out on you when it’s -40°C outside.

HVAC Unit Maintenance: Keep it Clean

It is important to clean out all the built up dust and debris that has gathered in your HVAC unit over the summer months. When dust is built up, it decreases the efficiency of your HVAC unit, therefore increasing your utility costs. By giving the vent a good clean in the fall, the HVAC unit will be running as efficiently as it can.

Leaves can be hazardous for your HVAC unit as they may get stuck in your outdoor unit and start a potential fire. Other particles can also accumulate in the unit, so we recommend cleaning out any particles and debris from the unit to help save you money and energy in the long run.

Test Your Thermostat

How do you know if your HVAC is being overworked? Try testing your thermostat. If you can see an accurate temperature reading displayed, it is working properly. Fall maintenance is the perfect time to double check all the settings you have set up on your thermostat. With cooler temperatures, you will want your home to be warmer so it is a good idea to change the settings on your thermostat based on the upcoming fall weather.


Schedule Maintenance

Contact JOB Heating and Air Conditioning to have an HVAC professional conduct a thorough maintenance inspection of your HVAC unit and address any problems it may be having.

In this Saskatoon furnace article,  Jeff Bolton, owner of JOB, highlights how important it is to be aware of the threat of carbon monoxide and he shares some winter safety tips for your home. 

Winter Safety Tips For Your Home From JOB Heating & Air 

What does that do and why does it matter?

I was recently in two Saskatoon residences with gas inspections to investigate the source of carbon monoxide in the homes. Thank heavens both homeowners had carbon monoxide detectors,  that in my opinion, saved their lives. Both days I went home and checked my CO detector.

When was the last time that you checked your CO Detector?

Go do it now then come back and finish reading…
So how this works is usually the fire department or Sask Energy get a call,  then they visit the home with their carbon monoxide meters to assess the level and then, if reading show and issue they red tag the furnace unit and shut off the gas. The Red Tag program provides a consistent means for gas utilities, propane distributors, gas contractors or others deemed appropriate by the chief gas inspector to report unresolved gas-related deficiencies or identify reoccurring design flaws. The issuing of red tags is only done by a licensed gasfitter.

What to do when you have a red tag.


The homeowner should then call us to come to correct the problem. We will go through the furnace and water heater with a fine-tooth comb to attempt to find the source of the carbon monoxide.

Sometimes it is a crack in a heat exchanger, however, sometimes the furnace and water heater are working exactly as they should. It is then incumbent upon us to investigate why the carbon monoxide is present in the home. In these locations we often find that the homes are drawn into negative pressure, what that means is that the homes are exhausting more air than fresh air coming into the home. As you may remember from science class,  areas of high pressure always go to areas of low pressure. So what happens is the high pressure outside finds a way into the area of low pressure (inside the home) through any possible route. If the doors and windows are closed then the only other hole in the home is the chimney. Air begins to flow down the chimney to replace the air that’s being exhausted out of the home. So why is that an issue? This becomes a problem when the furnace or water heater begins to fire and there is no draft up the chimney. This then results in the products of combustion (carbon monoxide) being vented into the home.


What can homeowners do to prevent this from happening? 


There are items in your home to prevent this from happening. In most cases, the insulated vent that runs from the outside of your home into the furnace room brings what we call combustion air. The combustion air helps to regulate the pressure of your home preventing your home from getting into a negative air pressure situation. This is also the air that is used when the furnace or water heater are firing up and sometimes this air supply can become blocked. On occasion, we have found that homeowners will purposely block the intake because they don’t like the cold air coming in.

I need to stress how important this is and that by blocking this you are putting yourself and your family at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. So please don’t block this or if you have, open it up immediately.

Another more common problem is that the air intakes themselves become blocked. These intakes appear from the outside like exhaust vents but when you bend over and look up inside them they are in fact air intakes with a screen that needs to be clear of all debris. A good rule of thumb is to walk around the perimeter of your home and look for these vent/intake hoods. Look up inside them and clean them up. This is a simple 10-minute job and this will help to protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. 

Do your intakes look like this? 


  • Go outside today walk around your home and clean these intakes.
  • Check your carbon monoxide detectors
  • Check your smoke alarms. 
These 2 devices save lives every day you just don’t hear about it. If you don’t have a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector buy them and put them in your home today. I promise you they save lives.

Then have us come out and do a furnace tune-up. We test the furnace and ensure it is functioning as it should be, in addition, we clean the parts of the furnace that you cannot.
