Here’s what to think about when it’s time to replace your current air conditioning system.
Cooling season is coming up, as it won’t be long until spring ends and summer begins. Even during the spring, some days will be hotter than others. This can be a problem for homeowners, but it can also be a major problem for business owners and facility managers. Here’s what to think about when it’s time to replace your current air conditioning system.
Recent Renovations
Renovations happen from time to time. The HVAC system might be left out during this process, but it can’t be ignored or overlooked. The load requirements of your building will change depending on the configuration of the layouts. The system might need to be upgraded in some way to either increase or decrease its cooling capacity if your air conditioning system depends on ductwork, then the ducts will probably need to be replaced as well.
Uncomfortable Conditions
If your building or office space is uncomfortable, then it can get in the way of how well your employees work and how your customers and clients feel as well. Other factors that could disrupt the comfort of your building such as uneven temperatures and the noise made by AC systems that are outdated and need to be replaced.
Poor Air Quality
Indoor air quality also makes a difference. The ventilation system could need an upgrade, and if these upgrades aren’t made, then the air conditioning won’t make much difference in comfort levels – your employees could be uncomfortable because they are too cold just as easily as they are too hot. Two remedies for the problem of poor air quality are HVAC air filtration systems that can remove contaminants and air purifiers that rely on UV light to destroy mold, bacteria, and viruses.
Improving Energy Efficiency
If you are worried about your energy bills, then making a change could be a positive difference-maker. VRF systems and programmable controls can help improve overall energy efficiency. Air conditioning systems equipped with VRF technology also have an unexpected bonus: they can provide heating and cooling simultaneously, depending on what is needed.
