Does the Quality of Your Commercial HVAC Unit Affect Employee Productivity?

There are several factors that influence employee productivity – compensation, workplace culture, management… and the quality of a commercial HVAC unit. You heard that right! If you’ve recently been noticing lower engagement and output at the office, your HVAC system may be to blame.

If you’re scratching your head wondering just how this is possible, keep reading to find out.

• Employee Discomfort. Faulty HVAC systems that don’t properly regulate temperature and airflow create an environment where workers are more focused on their discomfort rather than their tasks. As a consequence, their performance becomes stifled.
• Poor Employee Health. When a commercial HVAC unit is incapable of regulating indoor air quality efficiently, it exposes your employees to a myriad of health risks. For instance, a high humidity level exceeding 60% creates a prime breeding ground for biological contaminants like mold and other pathogens. These contaminants may have a significant impact on some of your employees’ health, resulting in more sick days and lower overall productivity.
• Too Many Distractions. Old or low-quality HVAC units usually generate disruptive noise levels while running. The noise can stem from rickety fans, compressors, duct rattling, or other performance issues. This noise pollution tends to hamper your employees’ concentration and divides their focus. In this case, your best option for restoring a peaceful, productive workspace is to upgrade to a commercial HVAC system with state-of-the-art sound-dampening technology.

As you can see, investing in a high-quality HVAC system will not only melt productivity issues away, but also show your employees that you value their wellbeing.
