Commercial HVAC Installation in Centerville, OH

The first step in commercial HVAC installation is choosing the system configuration. If you have a large building, a rooftop unit is usually best. It saves valuable space indoors and outdoors. Plus, it protects the equipment from foot traffic, vehicles, and other potential sources of damage. You can use a traditional air conditioner with a boiler or furnace if you have a smaller building.

An alternative to an AC and furnace is a heat pump and furnace. The heat pump will provide both cooling and heating, and the furnace will serve as auxiliary heating for particularly cold weather. The initial investment will be higher with this approach, but you can save money in the end.

Another consideration is whether you want to zone your building. We’ll organize your building by zoning it into discrete areas that you can heat and cool independently. This is another upgrade that will cost you more upfront but save considerably over the life of the equipment. It’s particularly worthwhile for businesses that, for instance, use only part of the building at night and on weekends. We’ll perform a load calculation once we know the configuration you want. This calculation will account for cubic footage, the building envelope, and many other factors and provide accurate sizing in British thermal units. You can then explore the various systems that output enough BTUs.

You can also explore efficiency at that point. Both mid and high-efficiency systems are available. Mid-efficiency HVAC systems are cheaper in the short term, while high-efficiency systems are often more affordable in the long term.
