Let me set the scene. You\u2019re on the job. Your customer is complaining of smells, strange sounds, and other things wrong with their commercial HVAC\/BAS system(s). And you know, you just know, you\u2019re about to have a close encounter of the \u201cthird kind.\u201d Except instead of UFOs, we mean animals.<\/p>\n

Almost everyone in the industry has a story where they\u2019ve found a furry or feathered menace wreaking havoc on their customer\u2019s system(s). And every time you\u2019ve encountered said menace, you\u2019re reminded of all the headaches that can occur and the damages you\u2019ll encounter and have to fix.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d be here all day if we discussed every issue that an animal in a system can cause, but here are our top five big-ticket issues that can come from an unwanted visitor:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blocked\/damaged vents, dampers, and exhausts<\/li>\n
  2. Frozen refrigerant lines due to damaged insulation<\/li>\n
  3. Damaged wiring and connections<\/li>\n
  4. Corrosion to evaporator and condenser coils<\/li>\n
  5. Damaged ductwork<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In these situations, step one is to call in the professionals to remove the animal. (We want pictures\/video if you take on the animal yourself, though we don\u2019t recommend it!) Step two is to complete a thorough inspection. Make sure to go over the entirety of the system(s) and always do your due diligence!<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re not experts in animal control but we are experts in repairing HVAC\/BAS issues! Call us<\/a> or email us<\/a> to get what you need to quickly fix issues caused by those unwanted interlopers and keep your customers happy.<\/p>\n
