If you manage a commercial property, there’s a good chance you’re spending more on energy than you need to—especially when it comes to your HVAC systems. Heating, cooling, and ventilation account for a significant portion of a commercial building’s energy use, and hidden inefficiencies can quietly drain your budget.
At Schaible’s Mechanical, we help businesses throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania get a clearer picture of where their energy is going—and how to keep more of it working for you—with professional HVAC energy audits.
What Is a Commercial HVAC Energy Audit?
A commercial HVAC energy audit is a comprehensive evaluation of your building’s heating and cooling systems. Its goal is to identify performance problems, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement. If your property has uneven temperatures, rising utility bills, or older equipment, an audit can uncover exactly where energy is being lost and what steps you can take to fix it.
Our licensed technicians conduct a detailed performance review of your entire HVAC system, assessing how well each component is functioning and whether it’s meeting the building’s needs efficiently. This process often includes airflow analysis, ductwork inspection, equipment condition checks, and thermostat control evaluations. By the end of the audit, you’ll receive clear, actionable insights that can translate directly into cost savings.
Common Issues We Uncover
Commercial HVAC systems are complex, and even small inefficiencies can add up quickly. Some of the most common issues our audits reveal include outdated or oversized equipment, poor duct insulation, malfunctioning thermostats, and systems that run unnecessarily during off-hours. These problems don’t just waste energy—they also contribute to unnecessary wear and tear, shortening your system’s lifespan.
We’ll also assess whether your current systems would benefit from smart controls or retrofits that can bring them up to modern efficiency standards. These upgrades can significantly reduce your monthly utility costs while improving comfort and system performance.
