Commercial Heating Replacement

Is your heating system working as efficiently as it could be? Do you experience hot or cold spots throughout your building? Are you tired of repairing your system repeatedly throughout the year?

Your existing commercial HVAC system might break down in the cold of the winter. If regular maintenance isn't enough to salvage it, perhaps it is time to consider installing a brand-new system. Replacing an old commercial HVAC system is one of the most important duties a property manager has. Here is a guide to expedite the process. 

Ensure Load Distribution is Properly Accounted For

Before beginning renovations on your system, consider where it is located in your building. The renovations may call for a change in the existing floor plan, which means you may need a system that is either larger or smaller than its predecessor. Upgrades that take advantage of more up to date technology, such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), present more possibilities for improving your current system. What can these technologies do? Variable Frequency Drives allow the drive motors on commercial HVAC systems to run at a lower operating speed. With Variable Refrigerant Flow, HVAC systems can be made more energy-efficient. They also operate more smoothly, making less noise while distributing heated or cooled air more evenly throughout your building. 

If your current commercial HVAC system has been around long enough, it will likely be too massive for its location. Older commercial HVAC systems are commonly built to be too large. Systems that are too large will have to work harder because these systems will switch on and off. This constant switching on and off is known as short cycling, leading to higher energy usage and uncomfortable conditions throughout your building. Besides factoring in system size and available floor space, other design choices to consider include upgrading doors and windows and changing the room's insulation and lighting. With the proper configuration, load distribution can be achieved more efficiently. Improved load distribution allows the entire system to run more efficiently while consuming far less energy. 

Prevent Energy Waste

Saving energy and preventing energy waste is another primary concern when evaluating your commercial HVAC system for possible replacement. Maximizing energy efficiency can help lower the bills and save you money. While the local weather should be included as a factor in determining the optimal levels of energy usage inside your building, another innovative solution for energy waste is setting different heating and cooling levels for different areas of your building. Conference rooms and other similar rooms are often left unoccupied for most of the workday. Thus, consider having different temperatures set for these areas instead of other areas that see much more employee traffic. One way to achieve this setting is to install multiple thermostats.
