Types Of Commercial HVAC Systems To Consider
There are several different types of commercial HVAC systems to consider.
Most AC units have an outdoor unit with an indoor handler, and a packaged unit is fitted in a cabinet or casing. To provide you with more storage and office space, simplify maintenance options and to keep the noise levels down, the packaged unit can be placed on the roof or outside on a concrete slab.

A ductless system has an outdoor unit and can have more than one indoor air handlers. The system allows you to make use of zoning to control the temperature for certain areas in the building and it can avoid contaminants such as dust, paint fumes or dirt from spreading throughout the building. This system is aesthetically more appealing as the ducts are usually installed on the ceiling.
When considering commercial Sunshine Coast air conditioning services, you can also contemplate having a heat pump installed for allowing heat to escape from your commercial building during the hot Spring or Summer months. During the colder fall or Winter months, the direction can be reversed to keep your business warm. However, you may need to use extra heating sources on frigid days. A heat pump works exceptionally well in large factories or warehouses that have lots of other equipment that generates supplemental heat.
You can also opt for a variable speed system that has a separate furnace installed to allow you to choose between multiple settings to stay comfortable during hot or cold conditions.

Size Of The HVAC System Required
- The best way to determine which size of HVAC system you’ll need for your business, is to take these considerations into account:
- The size of the building.
- The number of employees working in your building.
- The number of windows the building has.
- The type of work the company performs.
When the HVAC system is too small, it will not proficiently keep the building’s temperature at the desired rate, and the system’s life expectancy can be affected due to the additional wear and tear. When the unit has too much capacity for the building size, it can result in temperature fluctuations, undesirable humid control and extra wear on the system.

The Efficiency Of The HVAC System
Efficient systems such as the ducted HVAC system are more expensive, but the long-term savings are worth the investment as you can save on your monthly utility bill
Installation
Ductless and packaged systems are the easiest to install. If your building already has ductwork, all air registers will be sealed when a ducted system is installed. The most significant benefits of this system are that the ducts won’t have to be checked for leaks or cleaned, which means very little or no maintenance is required plus you keep your building free from pollutants and pests.
Most packaged HVAC systems are assembled at the factory and can be installed within a few days by a reputable professional.
