Pump Service and Pump Replacement

Expert Commercial Pump Service and Replacement

The pumps within your commercial HVAC system are the heart of your operation, responsible for circulating the water and glycol necessary for effective heating and cooling. When a pump fails or its performance degrades, the impact is immediate and significant, leading to system shutdowns, uncomfortable building environments, and potential disruptions to your business. At B&B Mechanical Inc., we provide specialized pump service and replacement solutions designed to restore your system’s integrity, improve its efficiency, and ensure its long-term reliability.

With over 50 years of hands-on experience, our Family Operated business understands the critical role these components play. We approach every pump-related issue with a solution-oriented mindset, combining deep technical expertise with a commitment to craftsmanship to resolve your immediate problem and fortify your system against future failures.

Recognizing the Signs of a Failing HVAC Pump

A pump issue can manifest in various ways, and early detection is key to preventing a catastrophic failure and costly downtime. Being aware of the warning signs allows you to seek professional service before a minor problem escalates. Contact a professional technician if you notice any of the following symptoms:

•  Unusual Noises: Grinding, whining, or rattling sounds are often the first indication of internal wear, bearing failure, or cavitation.
•  Visible Leaks: Any water or fluid pooling around the pump housing or its connections signifies a seal failure or cracked casing that requires immediate attention.
•  Loss of Water Pressure: If your system struggles to reach set points or you notice a significant drop in flow, the pump may no longer be generating adequate pressure.
•  Vibrations: Excessive vibration during operation can point to misalignment, an unbalanced impeller, or worn-out bearings, which can cause damage to the entire system over time.
•  The Pump Fails to Start: A pump that frequently trips its breaker or simply won’t turn on indicates a critical electrical or mechanical failure.
•  Increased Energy Consumption: A sudden spike in your utility bills without a corresponding change in usage often means a pump is working harder than it should to circulate fluid, signaling inefficiency or an impending breakdown.
