What would you do when your old commercial HVAC unit drives up the costs? One option is to replace the HVAC system, but many organizations cannot afford to install a new HVAC. You may also be moving locations and do not want to invest in a new system. There are many situations in which replacing your HVAC does not make sense. In the situation like these, the option you can choose is to upgrade your current system to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Lower energy costs
The primary purpose to upgrade or replacing the components on your commercial HVAC system is to save money on energy costs. The studies indicate that the retail businesses and the small office can be benefitted from upgrading the system through energy savings. When the weather gets slightly colder, you can see greater percent savings.
Extend the lifespan of your HVAC unit
Extending the life of your HVAC system is another benefit of upgrading. Each day that you’re able to use your system past its useful life, you’re saving money. Retrofitting your HVAC system can extend its useful life by years, helping you save money before you need to replace the entire system.
Improve conditions
Replacing the components will improve the conditions in your business and keep the temperatures and humidity in the consistent condition in your business. Some replacements can even reduce the noise and other small issues.
Return on investment
Investing in the up gradation of the HVAC system will benefit in the long run. When the system is upgraded by professional HVAC providers like Advanced Services, it gives a significant boost to the performance and allows for you to recover what you had spent in a short time.
Options for retrofitting your HVAC System
The options available to your business depend on the type of commercial HVAC system you use. It is best to understand your choices and the benefits you could receive before having your system serviced.
Chillers
The components like the reciprocating compressors and screw air compressors can be replaced with high-efficiency alternatives. The newer models reduce the power consumption and help you save money. By adding condenser fan controls, if you have the air-cooled chiller, you can allow your systems to do more work with less energy.
Heating and cooling systems
You can add an air-side economizer to your system, which allows you to let outside air in on cooler days. This reduces the work pressure on your system and will have a significant power saving as well. You can control the air movement by installing speed fan controls, and this way you can save money.
Another upgrade option is the demand-controlled systems that adjust the intake of outside air and the speed of fans. Ultimately, you can install cooling capacity controls to reduce load when you don’t need your HVAC to run at full capacity.
Should you upgrade your commercial HVAC system?
Before going for the upgrade option, have a rethink, if your system undergoes any sort of maintenance. By the process of regular maintenance, the components of your HVAC will be serviced and integrated properly. If your HVAC system runs for long periods of time then upgrading will save you more money in the long run.
