Things to Consider when Purchasing a Commercial HVAC System

#1. System Size

Start by determining the size of HVAC that's best for your workspace. Proper sizing is key. A unit that's too small will work overtime to adequately cool and heat your space, increasing wear and tear as well as energy consumption. A unit that's too big for the space will also consume excessive energy, and can often increase indoor humidity. 1 Source Mechanical's commercial HVAC service in Dixon will help you identify the correct size for your property.

#2. System Type

When purchasing a new commercial HVAC system for your Dixon, IL business, you've got options! Often, you'll choose between a single or multi-split system, depending on the space, or you may consider a hybrid heat pump. Packaged units may also work with some types of properties. Source 1 Mechanical can help you decide which type of HVAC system will work best for your business.

#3. Energy Efficiency

When comparing HVAC units, take energy efficiency into account. Remember that though a less efficient system may cost less up front, you'll end up paying more for energy over time. Determine efficiency by comparing Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) or cooling capacity and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF), or heating capacity. More efficient systems have higher SEER and HSPF ratings.



#4. Specifications

Of course, you'll also need to keep certain specifications and design factors in mind. For instance, does your property already have a centralized and adequate ductwork system? How much space do you have available for all the necessary components? Will units be placed inside or outside? Will you need zone controls or use a central thermostat? These specifications, unique to your space, will determine the type and size of HVAC system you need.
