Commercial Air Conditioning Buyer’s Guide
A quality commercial air conditioning system not only improves the comfort of your office space, but it is important to control overhead costs as well. If you are using an old air conditioning unit, then it is likely that your utility expenses are high, and you are spending a lot of money on repair work. Instead of wasting your cash on repairs and utilities, consider an investment in a new air conditioning system.
The problem is that most business owners don’t know a lot about the HVAC industry. When it comes time to replace the system, it can be hard to know where to start. Not only do you need to hire the right contractor, but you need to choose the materials that are built to last. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
Pick a Contractor with a Good Reputation
The quality of your contractor will have an impact on the overall results of the installation. When you pick a reputable HVAC contractor, then you can rest assured to know that you will receive trustworthy advice about the type of system that is needed and the best equipment for your office. Always research the reputation of the contractor before signing the work agreement paperwork.
Compare Services in the Area
It is important that you choose HVAC services that match your needs. For example, if you have a big commercial building, then a contractor that specialises in residential systems won’t be the best choice. Choose a local Auckland company that specialises in commercial air conditioning servicing and installation.
Manual Load Calculation
Now that you have chosen a contractor, the next step is to choose equipment that will be powerful enough to manage the climate in your business. An HVAC system calculation can be done so that you are confident in the performance of the new system. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that you should buy new equipment to match the same size as the old system. It is possible that the old system wasn’t designed to fit the building properly.
Complete On-Site Inspection
In addition to installing a new air conditioner, it is a good idea to have a certified HVAC team inspect the entire system. For example, old ductwork should be checked for leaks and potential issues that need to be repaired. These seemingly small problems can have an impact on the efficiency of your air conditioning unit.
