Energy-Efficient Cooling Solutions
The HVAC industry in the U.S. uses the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2) to gauge energy efficiency over a full cooling season. The higher the SEER2 rating, the less electricity a system will use. While high-SEER2 systems generally cost more, they can save money over time. That’s due to lower electric bills, rebates, and other energy incentives.
Our team installs both ducted and ductless HVAC systems for our commercial clients. Ductless systems usually cost more upfront, but their design makes them more energy efficient.
Mini-splits have an outdoor condenser unit connected to many indoor units, allowing you to create as many zones as needed. We also install variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems that are like mini-splits but even more efficient. A VRF system can adjust the flow of refrigerant to each indoor air handler without relying on a centralized control.
With both ductless and ducted systems, you have the option of either an AC or a heat pump. A heat pump is a two-way AC that provides heating. Central ACs maintain a uniform temperature throughout an entire building.
Our team can also put in place zoning to provide energy savings, like a ductless system. By organizing the commercial space into zones, you will avoid wasting money on cooling areas that do not need it.
Smart thermostat controls can help reduce annual cooling costs by up to 10% on average for both ducted and ductless systems. A zoned system can increase those savings to as much as 30%. Upgrades for zoning central AC include smart thermostats. Also, a variable-speed air handler, and either duct dampers or smart vents.
Commercial AC Installation & Replacement
If you’d like to upgrade your commercial HVAC system, we recommend an in-person consultation. We’ll provide that consultation to you at no cost and without obligation.
Our installer will perform a custom load calculation to determine the cooling output you need. That will account for your floor plan, cubic footage, and building envelope. Getting the right size is key to saving money. If a system is too small or too big, it won’t last long and will be more expensive to fix.
Once we know the necessary cooling output, we can explore all your options. That can include weighing ducted versus ductless and single-zone versus multi-zone. We can also help you explore tax credits, rebates, and other energy incentives that may be available. Incentives can make a commercial AC more affordable and help you recoup your investment sooner.
Another decision we’ll help you make is whether you’re better off with a split or packaged system. Split systems consist of both indoor and outdoor equipment in central ACs. Packaged systems have the HVAC equipment in a singular cabinet that we install outdoors. That would include your AC, but also your furnace, ventilation, humidity control, and so forth.
Rooftop units (RTUs) are the most common example of a packaged system in the commercial HVAC space. RTUs take up no valuable space and instead occupy areas you wouldn’t otherwise use. They also make it much easier to integrate more systems, such as air purifiers and UV lights, into your commercial system. Zoning is an option with RTUs as it is with split systems and requires the add-ons discussed above.
