Top 5 Commercial HVAC Issues in Winter and How to Prevent Them

Michigan winters are punishing. Low temperatures, heavy snow, and frozen precipitation can quickly turn small HVAC issues into full-blown emergencies.

By recognizing and addressing common failure points early, building owners can reduce downtime, control repair costs, and avoid large-scale damage.

1. Frozen Pipes & Coils

2. Overworked Heating Equipment

3. Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

4. Thermostats & Control Failures

5. Emergency Breakdowns During Cold Snaps

Most winter HVAC problems stem from deferred maintenance. Proactive seasonal service prevents 80–90% of emergency calls.
