Why it is Worth Considering a High-Efficiency HVAC System for Your Building

If you’re in the market for a new heating and air conditioning system for your business, a high efficiency commercial HVAC system is a worthy investment. For nominally more, you can achieve more comfortable temperatures with less energy use.

Why Choose a High-Efficiency Commercial HVAC System?

  1. Improved indoor air quality
    Older systems simply don’t offer the filtration and performance of newer models. Combustion-style furnaces and boilers are particularly known for indoor air quality dangers such as carbon monoxide due to cracked/malfunctioning components. With a new high efficiency system with HEPA filtration, you can improve indoor air quality, keeping your team healthy and productive.
  2. Decreased carbon footprint
    Better performance means a lower carbon footprint. 4-6% of the energy consumed in the US is from heating and cooling. Be a part of shrinking this number and protecting the earth with a new, high efficiency Energy Star System that requires less fuel to maintain temperatures in your business.
  3. Lower energy bills
    Decreased fuel use not only lowers your carbon footprint, but it also lowers your energy costs. Heating and air conditioning use can add up to half of your monthly energy costs, depending on the industry. If your business is sporting a model more than 15 years old, your savings could be significant. Commercial HVAC contractors know older systems run more frequently and use more fuel to maintain temperature, allowing you to quickly recoup your investment in a high-efficiency HVAC system.
  4. Superior temperature control
    With advancements such as smart Wi-Fi thermostats and zoned heating and cooling to address the climate in specific rooms more efficiently, you can enjoy superior temperature control and savings. Program your system on a schedule or operate it remotely from anywhere via a mobile device, adjusting settings for savings with the building is unoccupied and preventing office thermostat wars as employees battle for climate control.
  5. Quiet operation
    Today’s high-efficiency systems are not the noisy, rattling behemoths you may be used to. Constructed with noise-absorbing materials, they offer quiet, unobtrusive operation.
  6. Fewer repair issues
    High-efficiency systems experience fewer electrical and commercial HVAC repair issues than their older counterparts, which can be quite expensive to maintain and, in some cases, almost as costly as buying a new commercial heating and cooling system.
  7. Increased real estate value
    Adding a high-efficiency system to your building makes your commercial property far more attractive to business operators and investors, giving you a competitive advantage.

Replace your old system with high-efficiency HVAC and reap the benefits. Learn more about available high-efficiency HVAC options for your business. Schedule a consultation with the industry experts at H & H Commercial Services today.

Why VRF Technology May be the Right Choice for Your Building

Are you looking for the most efficient commercial heating and cooling system on the market? Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems offer 30-40% energy savings compared to conventional HVAC system designs. That’s a pretty penny when 50% of your average energy expenses come from heating and cooling your building.

What is a VRF HVAC System?

This state-of-the-art HVAC solution is relatively new on the scene and only available since the early 2000s. It is one of the best HVAC solutions for your business, known for superior energy efficiency and the ability to deliver a fast return on investment in many applications. Broken down to its simplest form, a VRF HVAC system is like a large-scale ductless system capable of performing at high capacity – though specific design varies by application.

How Commercial VRF Systems Work

VRF HVAC systems allow you to operate multiple indoor units/zones from the same commercial heat pump or heat recovery system, enjoying simultaneous heating and cooling. The ductless design of these systems distributes refrigerant throughout the building using refrigerant piping, moderating refrigerant flow to ensure superior comfort and energy efficiency.

A Versatile Solution for Nearly Any Project

VRF systems ensure a comfortable environment, supporting the productivity of workers while keeping energy costs low. These flexible heating and air conditioning systems can:

  • Heat and cool different zones in a building simultaneously
    Multiple indoor units, connected to one outdoor module, allow occupants to customize temperature settings based on their preferences. Placement determines zones. Refrigerant from the outdoor system is delivered to each zone, based on climate control needs. Refrigerant flow is adjusted as needed to maintain the desired temperature in each zone. Zones can be heated and cooled simultaneously, with heated/cooled air redirected to zones in need, reducing energy waste. VRF systems feature variable speed compressor technology, strongly recommended by commercial HVAC contractors for energy savings, which operates continuously at various speeds based on refrigerant demand for heating and cooling to optimize energy consumption.
  • Run at a low volume
    These systems operate quietly, eliminating ambient noise.
  • Fit into tight spaces
    Featuring a sleek, compact design, VRF HVAC systems are ideal for historic buildings with limited space. They also work well in modern, high-ceiling designs, featuring small piping that is easily hidden. Commercial HVAC services offer wall-mounted, ceiling-recessed, suspended, and standing options are availble to suit your needs.
  • Scale to meet the needs of any size building
    Integrate VRF HVAC anywhere, from small offices to large high-rises.
  • Install quickly and easily
    The simple design of VRF systems weighs significantly less, using fewer components and requiring less construction than ducted HVAC systems.
  • Work with your current system
    VRF technology can be combined with or retrofitted to your current system – even those with different designs.

Outfit your commercial building with the latest in cutting edge, energy-efficient VRF heating and cooling technology. Learn more about this cutting edge climate control solution from H & H Commercial Services today.
