As Wisconsin prepares for another cold winter, keeping commercial HVAC systems running safely and efficiently is top of mind for many business owners. Insight on Business recently featured Hurckman Mechanical Industries, Inc. in a Guest Insight article highlighting expert advice from Chris Shefchik, HVAC Service Sales Representative at Hurckman.
In the article, “Prepping HVAC Systems for Winter: What Business Owners Should Know,” Chris discusses how preventative maintenance helps businesses avoid costly downtime, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce emergency service calls when temperatures drop. He explains that proper HVAC preparation—such as inspecting heat exchangers, testing safeties, replacing belts, and cleaning components—can make all the difference during a Wisconsin cold snap.
Whether a facility relies on rooftop units, boilers, or forced-air systems, Chris emphasizes that early maintenance is the best protection against midwinter breakdowns. Planning service in late summer or early fall ensures systems are performing efficiently before the first freeze.
“Routine upkeep extends the life of your equipment and saves energy,” Chris notes in the article. “By far, it’s the simplest way to avoid the crisis calls I’ve gotten too many times.”
Hurckman is proud to partner with Insight on Business to share valuable insight that helps Wisconsin businesses stay warm, safe, and productive through the winter season.
