Businesses opt to install new commercial HVAC systems for many different reasons. Some systems simply reach the end of their lifespans and become too costly to maintain or operate, while new buildings or building expansions typically require new installations. Regardless of the situation, there are different factors to consider before selecting a specific commercial HVAC system for your San Angelo, TX facility.
1. Current Ductwork Condition
Expansions or new buildings need new ductwork when installing a commercial HVAC system. Businesses upgrading from a current configuration need to consider the state of the ducts to prevent issues down the road. Members of our team can inspect your ductwork to determine if you need to clean, repair or replace it.
2. Indoor Climate Variations
The type of commercial HVAC system you’ll need for your San Angelo, TX establishment also depends on the type of business you have. Factories and warehouses may not have an abundance of human traffic continually entering or exiting the building compared to a dining or retail facility, for example.
3. Local Weather
The type of weather conditions your business faces will also impact what HVAC system you choose. Areas that regularly see snow in wintertime may want to opt for a heat pump with added heat strips or stick to other types of heating. Conversely, areas that remain cool during summer may not rely as much on air conditioning, whereas it’s practically a requirement for businesses in areas like Texas, Florida or Arizona.
4. Indoor Air Quality Considerations
Good indoor air quality is crucial to ensure the health of your employees and clients. Different types of businesses naturally have varied air quality needs. You can add filtration to a variety of systems, but whether you’d want to depends on the air quality and type of business done on premises.
