Commercial HVAC systems rarely fail without warning — but those warning signs are often missed until costs, tenant complaints, or inspection issues force action.

This HVAC Risk Snapshot is a short, high-level screening tool designed for Toronto and GTA commercial buildings. It highlights common risk indicators we routinely see in aging or heavily used systems, helping property owners and managers understand whether HVAC risk may be building beneath the surface.

​

What this tool does / does not do (important framing)

• What this snapshot helps identify

• Early signs of elevated HVAC risk

• Conditions commonly linked to unplanned service calls

• Situations that often create budget or compliance pressure

• When it may be time to validate system condition professionally

What this snapshot does not replace
This tool is not an inspection, condition assessment, or engineering review.
It does not provide pricing, equipment sizing, or replacement recommendations.

Its purpose is to help you decide whether further professional review is warranted — before HVAC issues become disruptive or expensive.

​

How to use it:
Answer each question based on your current knowledge. If you’re unsure, select Unsure — that uncertainty itself can be an important risk indicator.
The snapshot takes approximately 1 minute to complete.
