A commercial HVAC tune-up is a comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and optimization of your building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. A certified technician evaluates every major component of your rooftop units (RTUs), split systems, and package units to identify inefficiencies, mechanical wear, and operational issues that are driving up your energy costs.
Under Maryland's EmPOWER program, this service is fully funded by your electric utility. The program was created by state law (the EmPOWER Maryland Energy Efficiency Act) and requires BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, and SMECO to invest in energy efficiency measures for their customers. Commercial HVAC tune-ups are one of the most popular measures because they deliver immediate, measurable savings.
The typical commercial building wastes 15-30% of its energy through poorly maintained HVAC equipment. Dirty coils, faulty economizers, incorrect refrigerant charges, and worn belts all reduce efficiency gradually enough that most building owners never notice until they see the tune-up results. After service, businesses typically see a 5-20% reduction in energy consumption.
