Commercial HVAC systems should generally be given service at least biennially, ideally during the spring and autumn. This guarantees that the system runs at peak efficiency and elusive defects are caught before they balloon into "major" problems. Certain buildings, or those who really work their systems over the summer and winter, may well require quarterly service. It all depends.

More often than not, commercial HVAC systems cost more than residential ones because these systems are designed for more expansive and more complex spaces. They also tend to employ more advanced—sometimes cutting edge—technologies for energy efficiency and environmental control. The installation and resulting maintenance of any expansive, complex system naturally require a specialized workforce of engineers and technicians. The actual labor of installation and the required ongoing tune-ups and repairs add a lot to the overall cost, as those in the field know. Add to this situation the necessity for compliance with a whole raft of local regulations and standards, as those in some parts of Northside can tell you. Altogether, it comes down to this: commercial HVAC systems are not just more complex and demanding of space; they also require a lot more in the way of energy and monetary resources.

A commercial HVAC unit usually lasts somewhere around 15 to 20 years, but it can last shorter or longer depending on how well it's maintained, how it's used, and the environmental conditions it works under. Regular servicing and maintenance don't just keep the unit in working condition; they also help it last much longer than it likely would if it were ignored and left to work under suboptimal conditions.
