A commercial HVAC compressor is a vital component of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It is responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant throughout the system, which allows the unit to cool or heat the air as needed.

The compressor is typically located in the outdoor unit of a split system HVAC system, or it is incorporated into the self-contained units of packaged or rooftop systems. It consists of a motor and a pump that work together to compress the refrigerant and move it through the system.

Compressors can fail for a variety of reasons, including age, overuse, and lack of maintenance. Some common symptoms of a failing compressor include loud noises, poor performance, and insufficient cooling or heating.

If you are experiencing issues with your HVAC compressor, it is important to address the problem as soon as possible. A faulty compressor can cause other components of the system to fail and can lead to costly repairs.

At Century Commercial Service, we are qualified to repair or replace commercial HVAC compressors. Our team of trained technicians has the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and fix compressor issues, ensuring that your HVAC system is functioning properly and efficiently. We offer both emergency and preventative maintenance services to meet the needs of commercial property managers and owners. So, if you are experiencing issues with your HVAC compressor, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

Infrared testing (also known as thermal imaging or infrared thermography) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that involves using a specialized camera to detect and measure differences in temperature on the surface of an electrical panel. This can help to identify issues such as overheating, loose connections, and other problems that could potentially cause electrical failures or fires.

There are several reasons why you might want to conduct infrared testing on an electrical panel:

  1. Early detection: One of the main benefits of infrared testing is that it allows you to identify problems early, before they become more serious or costly to fix. This can help to reduce the risk of electrical failures, fires, or other types of damage.
  2. Increased safety: Infrared testing is a non-invasive and non-contact method of testing, which means it does not require you to touch or disassemble the electrical panel. This can help to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries during the testing process.
  3. Improved efficiency: By identifying and addressing problems in the electrical panel, infrared testing can help to improve the efficiency of the system and reduce energy consumption.
  4. Cost savings: Infrared testing can help to reduce the cost of maintenance and repairs by identifying problems early and allowing you to fix them before they become more serious. It can also help to reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, which can be costly for businesses.

Electrical Infrared Testing

Overall, infrared testing is an important tool for maintaining the safety and reliability of electrical panels in commercial and industrial environments. It can help to identify problems that might not be visible to the naked eye, and it can help to reduce the risk of electrical failures and other types of damage.

Century Commercial Service suggests that every Commercial Property perform this service at least every 2 years.  Assuring that your Electrical Panels are in an operationally safe state is incredibly important for properly maintaining your Commercial Property.

Commercial storm drain maintenance is crucial for ensuring the proper functioning of a commercial property’s storm drain system and preventing costly repairs. Storm drains play an important role in directing water away from a building and its surroundings, protecting it from flooding, and preventing damage to the property.

Regular inspections of a storm drain system should be done to check for any clogs, debris, or other potential issues that could cause problems in the future. During these inspections, a professional CCS plumber will check the inlets, grates, and pipes for any blockages and remove them. This will help to prevent water from backing up and causing flooding, which can lead to severe damage to a commercial property.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of a storm drain system helps prevent progressive damage and deterioration to the system’s pipes, grates, and other components, and helps prolong the life of the storm drain system.

Contact Century Commercial Service today to learn more about our preventative maintenance plans for all your commercial property storm drain system needs.

Exterior high reach lighting refers to lighting systems that are mounted on the exterior of buildings or other structures, typically at heights greater than 20 feet. These lighting systems are used to illuminate large areas, such as parking lots, sporting facilities, drive aisles and building exteriors, and are an important aspect of building maintenance and safety.

Proper maintenance of exterior high reach lighting is essential to ensure that the lighting systems are functioning effectively and safely. Under the CCS Exterior Lighting Maintenance Program, we will perform the following service for maintaining your exterior high reach lighting systems:

  1. Clean the fixtures: Over time, exterior lighting fixtures can become dirty and covered in grime, which can affect the performance of the lighting. To maintain the performance of the fixtures, it is important to clean them regularly; especially LED Fixtures.
  2. Check the bulbs: Exterior lighting systems typically use high-wattage bulbs, which can burn out over time. It is important to regularly check the bulbs and replace any that are no longer functioning. A CCS High Reach bucket truck is utilizing to perform this service.
  3. Check & Test the Ballast: The lighting ballast is the component that regulates the power being provided to the bulb / lamp. The proper function of this component is essential in the functionality of the lighting fixture.  Once failed, these need to be replaced immediately.
  4. Inspect the wiring / sockets: Wiring and socket problems are a common cause of lighting failure. To prevent this, it is important to regularly inspect these components and ensure that they are in good condition. Any damaged or frayed wiring should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
  5. Test the lighting system: Regularly power cycling and testing the lighting system can help to identify any problems or issues that need to be addressed. This can be done by turning on the lighting system at different times of the day to ensure that it is functioning properly.
  6. Use a proactive maintenance provider: A proactive maintenance service, through a qualified vendor, can help to ensure that all aspects of the lighting system are being properly maintained. CCS performs this service by providing scheduled night time lighting inspections and reporting along with a customized lighting fixture location map of your property. By having your property visited and inspected on a monthly basis, you will reduce the amount of high dollar repairs due to system negligence.

An electrical breaker is a device used to interrupt the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit. It is designed to protect the circuit from damage caused by excess current, such as that caused by a short circuit or an overloaded circuit. When the current in a circuit exceeds the breaker’s rating, the breaker will trip and interrupt the flow of electricity, preventing damage to the circuit.

In a commercial application, electrical breakers are typically used to protect the electrical circuits within a building or property. They may be used to control the flow of electricity to specific areas or systems within the building, such as lighting circuits, HVAC systems, or appliances.

There are several types of electrical breakers available for commercial use, including:

  • Circuit breakers: Circuit breakers are used to protect the circuits within a building or property. They are available in a variety of sizes and ratings to match the specific needs of the circuit they are protecting.
  • Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs): GFCIs are used to protect circuits that may be exposed to water or moisture, such as those in bathrooms or kitchens. They are designed to interrupt the flow of electricity if a ground fault is detected, reducing the risk of electrical shock.
  • Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs): AFCIs are used to protect circuits from arc faults, which are electrical discharges that can cause fires. They are designed to detect arc faults and interrupt the flow of electricity before a fire can start.
  • Surge protective breakers: Surge protective breakers are used to protect circuits from voltage spikes, which can damage electrical devices and appliances. They are designed to interrupt the flow of electricity when a voltage spike is detected, protecting the circuit and its devices.

If you have questions about electrical breakers or need assistance selecting the right type for your commercial property, don’t hesitate to contact Century Commercial Service. Our team of experienced electricians can help you choose the right breaker for your needs and handle the installation process.

As a Commercial Property Manager, you know the importance of maintaining your property in good condition. But did you know that regular maintenance can also have a number of benefits beyond just keeping the property looking nice? Here are just a few reasons why regular maintenance is important for a commercial property:

  1. Safety: Regular maintenance can help identify and address potential safety hazards, such as faulty wiring or broken equipment before they become serious problems. This can help protect employees, customers, and visitors from accidents and injuries.
  2. Energy Efficiency: By performing regular maintenance on systems such as HVAC and lighting, a commercial property can improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs. This can help save money on utility bills and make the property more environmentally friendly.
  3. Cost Savings: Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs by identifying and addressing potential problems before they become major issues. For example, replacing a small, worn valve in a plumbing system before it fails can save money on repair costs and downtime caused by a major failure.
  4. Property Value: Regular maintenance can help maintain the value of a commercial property by keeping systems and equipment in good working condition. This can be important for attracting tenants and maintaining the property’s value as an investment.
  5. Tenant Satisfaction: Proper maintenance can help ensure that tenants are comfortable and satisfied with the condition of the property, which can help retain tenants and attract new ones. Happy tenants can lead to increased revenue for the property.
  6. Regular maintenance is essential for the Safe, Efficient, and Cost-effective operation of a Commercial Property.
