Commercial HVAC systems maintenance can take many forms. One of the easiest methods to consider implementing is what is known as retrofitting. Retrofitting can serve as a temporary measure to prolong equipment service time without need a total overhaul. As the overhaul or complete replacement process can be long and costly, it should generally be avoided until it becomes absolutely necessary. Here is why you should consider retrofitting your commercial HVAC systems.
Save Energy by Retrofitting Commercial HVAC Systems
If you have noticed that your energy bills are constantly increasing, something must have gone wrong. After diagnosing the problem, the best course of action could be to begin retrofitting your commercial HVAC systems.
One concrete example of how retrofitting can benefit your commercial property is that, overall, smaller office buildings and retail stores cut back their energy usage by 35% by retrofitting. Weather and climate make a difference too – properties in colder climates could see their energy reduced by as much as 40%.
Extend Overall Lifespan of Your Systems by Retrofitting
The longer you can keep your current systems running, the less you will have to invest in upgrades later. However, upgrading is still hugely beneficial. Another way retrofitting can help improve the performance of your commercial HVAC systems is by extending their overall lifespan. This new lease on life is rather substantial – months and years can be added onto the term of service for your equipment. In that time, innovations in research and development could lead to newer technology.
Integrate Newer Technology Into Your System
Integrating newer, more efficient technology into your system can be achieved through retrofitting. The essence of retrofitting is adding new components to systems that originally did not include those components.
Boost Indoor Air Quality and Environmental Conditions
Lastly, consider the positive effects retrofitting can have on your building. Boosting indoor air quality and improving environmental conditions will help everyone who spends time on your property. Regulating and controlling humidity levels is even more important during the hot summer months.
