As warmer weather settles in, consider how your business can benefit from having a rooftop commercial HVAC unit.
When you are looking to install a brand new commercial HVAC unit for your building, think about where you would like it to go. One idea is to put it on the rooftop of your building. By doing this, you can make use of even more space inside your facility without having to give that up for your extensive system. Best of all, you can directly connect it to the ductwork distributing air throughout your building. As warmer weather settles in, consider how your business can benefit from having a rooftop commercial HVAC unit.
Modular Design
Due to the modular design of rooftop commercial HVAC units, it’s incredibly simple to modify the size of the system when the need arises. The size of your building’s roof will dictate how many units it can accommodate, but a smaller building might only need one HVAC unit, while a larger building may require several of them.
However, when you have more than module, you can establish one unit for each sector of your building that will have different heating and cooling needs. For example, the conference room might need to be warm on a chilly spring morning, but the server room in the basement still needs to be kept cold to offset the heat generated by all of the equipment operating in one place.
Decreased Noise
One of the reasons to consider replacing an old and outdated commercial HVAC system is how much noise it makes on a daily basis. When you install a rooftop commercial HVAC unit, you can relax knowing that it is less noisy. You and your workers deserve to be protected from noise that can distract you and damage your hearing. New HVAC units, even rooftop ones, will still make some noise. That said, you won’t have to endure it as much, allowing you to enjoy a quieter atmosphere in which to get your work done.
Better Energy Efficiency
Another advantage you gain when you install rooftop commercial HVAC unit is a reduction in energy usage. When you don’t have to spend as much money on your energy bills, your company can focus on what matters: serving your customers. These units come with built-in settings that allow you to adjust the airflow speed and fine-tune it to your needs. For instance, the fans don’t need to run as fast. Plus, the unit will be connected to a thermostat inside the building, which means you can control the system without having to climb to the roof to do so.
Easier to Maintain
One last benefit to think about is how these units are much easier to maintain. During the annual inspection, the technician can move between the modules, diagnosing and fixing whatever problems are there. Even so, you will still need to handle basic maintenance, such as changing filters and preventing any potential leaks.
