Commercial Air Conditioning Services
Air conditioning is crucial inside commercial buildings during hot summer months, particularly if there is a high number of people there at the same time.
Not only can the presence of air conditioning increase productivity and focus among workers, it can also remove harmful pollutants and prevent mould from forming.
What is commercial air conditioning?
Commercial air conditioning can be used not only to cool a workplace but also heat it and act as a dehumidifier.
These air con systems can be used in any type of commercial property, no matter how big or small.
Thanks to its multiple uses, it is worth investing in a high-quality commercial air conditioning system because it can be used throughout the year.
Not only will it keep staff members cool and their morale high, but customers might also reap the benefits and be more willing to give you business.
A commercial air conditioning system takes air inside a property and heats or cools it depending on your settings.
It will then recycle it into the room to maintain a stable temperature throughout the day.
Why should I consider installing commercial air conditioning?
High-quality air conditioning units can be beneficial to your business because they will maintain an optimal temperature all year round, avoiding employees feeling uncomfortable and in turn impacting on productivity.
Moreover, there is a direct correlation between the environment inside your business premises and customer loyalty.
The last thing you want to obtain is a tainted reputation because your space is either too hot or too cold.
Air conditioning units can also work extremely well at removing moisture from the air, which can prevent condensation and therefore the formation of black mould.
The presence of the latter poses risks to human health and a building’s internal structure.
What are the different types of commercial air conditioning systems?
There are many different types of commercial air conditioning systems, including (but not limited to):
Split Air Conditioning Systems
Perhaps the most affordable, split air conditioning systems can provide both hot and cold air.
A simple design means they’re easy to install without impacting much on a building’s structure and can generally be up and running within a day.
You can use either one unit inside a small property or several for larger premises.
However, it is important to consider that more units require space to accommodate them.
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems
VRF systems are better suited for consumers who are driven by the running cost.
They are more efficient at heating, or cooling, larger spaces at a lower cost.
Again, they’re hassle-free to install.
A heat-recovery feature means it costs less to reach higher temperatures, as well as being able to heat and cool different rooms of the building simultaneously.
Wasted heat is taken from one room and recycled into another, a sign of the system’s intelligence and efficiency.
Other types of units include ceiling suspended, floor-mounted, ducted air, wall-mounted.ceiling mounted, and cassette air conditioning.
How do commercial air conditioning systems work?
The type of air conditioning unit you install will affect how the system works.
Smaller examples will circulate a refrigerant (a compressed gas) within a closed split system which cools the coils within and therefore any air that passes through.
The system sucks in air from outside before circulating it through the cooling process and out of ducts into your building.
The refrigerant remains condensed to ensure the temperature remains constant.
The refrigerant cools air and works as a dehumidifier.
However, your system can also be connected to a heating solution which warms inside coils to produce hot air instead.
How long will it take to install a commercial air conditioning system?
Installation is primarily a short process and workers aim to complete it within one day.
In some instances, it can take up to a week to install complex systems with numerous splits.
Another factor which could slow down the process is a building’s structure.
Several external factors can impact on the time it takes.
However, following an evaluation of your premises, the installers will be able to provide an accurate estimate.
Some will offer different solutions designed to minimise disruption to your business’ daily activity.
How much will it cost to install a commercial air conditioning system?
Again, this depends on the system you’ve chosen and how many features it includes.
The price range differs between providers, meaning you won’t truly know without obtaining a detailed quote.
Consider carefully which installers to use because they will each offer a different level of service.
Bear in mind that the more complex a system is, the more it will cost to install.
How often should commercial air conditioning units be serviced?
Air conditioning units need to be serviced often to ensure the mechanisms inside aren’t damaged or faulty.
Neglecting to service yours may cause it to falter, or break, and leave you with a bill that is higher than a service charge.
For this reason, you should aim to get your commercial air conditioning unit maintained at least twice a year.
Depending on the nature of your business, that figure could be double.
