Considerations During a Commercial HVAC Retrofit

Does your commercial building need a new HVAC system? Adding a new system can be more complicated than just replacing one or two components. An HVAC retrofit can involve changing many aspects within your structure. The result can improve the efficiency of your business’ HVAC system, saving substantial money and improving productivity. But before you begin a HVAC retrofit project, here are a few factors to consider:

  • Will you need changes to your building structure? Your HVAC retrofit can require some changes to your building, including the roof, windows, walls and even masonry. You need to have the construction aspect covered to ensure the project goes smoothly in conjunction with the new HVAC system installation.
  • Are their electrical requirements for your new HVAC system? If you have an older commercial building, there is a good chance the electrical may need to be updated for your retrofit. This upgrade will need to coincide with construction work without delaying the entire project.
  • Do you have a project coordinator? You have a business to run; you can’t afford extensive downtime caused by hiccups during your retrofit. You need a project coordinator that can schedule and organize all the different contractors to ensure your project is completed on time and within budget.

One option to cover all these factors is to find a commercial HVAC service that offers complete HVAC retrofits from start to finish. There are experienced commercial HVAC services that can manage the entire process, including coordinating the different contractors required for a smooth, efficient project completion.

A new HVAC system for your older commercial building can have a positive impact on your bottom line with improved efficiency. Make sure you have an experienced HVAC service on your side for problem-free retrofit.

Could Insulating Your Home Save You Money?

Does it seem like your energy bill is too high? It may be due to poor insulation inside your home. Many homes are built without adequate insulation that can lead to open airways that impact the temperature of the home. It is never too late to add insulation to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Retain better heat in the winter and keep cool in the summer by investing in insulation in your home.

Insulation uses a poor conductor of heat to create a barrier between the interior of your home and the weather outside. Most insulation is created from fiberglass that is made from spun glass fibers. Glass is one of the best options for insulation since it is naturally a poor conductor of heat and is safe for home construction. It is used in blown and rolled insulation, creating a barrier that keeps homes cool or warm as needed.

When adding insulation to an existing home, blown insulation is often the most efficient option. It can be added into walls, attics and crawls spaces to block airways that let in the heat or cold from the outside. Once in place, insulation will perform for decades, making it a worthwhile investment. The savings on your heating and cooling bill can easily pay for this improvement to your home in a matter of just a few years or less. It also puts less stress on your HVAC system, saving you money on maintenance, repairs and replacement.

Stopping wasting energy and money in your home. Call your local HVAC expert that offers insulation installation to improve the energy efficiency of your home.
