Episode 6: Whoops, It Can Happen to You: When AC Problems Chill Your Practice

Even new veterinary offices can face climate control issues that disrupt daily operations and patient comfort. In this episode, we explore two common post-construction pitfalls — missing key HVAC components and reusing outdated systems — and how they lead to uneven temperatures, inefficiency, and costly fixes. We cover the importance of proper design coordination, the risks of low bids that exclude critical work, and why ongoing oversight is vital from the first plan review to project closeout. You’ll also learn how small mechanical oversights can snowball into larger operational challenges and how to avoid them by asking the right questions early.
