Commercial HVAC systems are designed to be extremely efficient, conserving energy and operating in the most effective way possible. They are designed using energy-saving technology that reduces the amount of energy used and lowers the company's operating costs. Over the years, energy-saving technology can be used to maintain and upgrade the systems for continued optimum performance. There are several things you can do to maintain your commercial HVAC system so that it continues to work efficiently for many years to come.

Early in 2018, the Department of Energy instituted new rules for energy regulations and efficiency across the nation. While some of the rules affect homeowners, it is commercial HVAC customers that will really feel the impact. With the announcement of new Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER) ratings, businesses large and small need to start making some big decisions about their HVAC remanufactured compressor energy efficiency. Read on to learn more about how things are changing and what steps you need to take to be in compliance.

The longer your compressors are in service, the more worn down they get. Out in the field, you may not recognize the loss of efficiency that happens over time because the change is so subtle and it takes such a long time to reach troublesome levels. In fact, it is not uncommon to see teams using compressors that are working at only 20-30% of their original efficiency because they have just gotten used to the system aging. The good news is that remanufactured compressors offer a simple way to regain energy efficiency overnight.

HVAC systems deliver some of the best solutions for managing the summer heat and winter cold effectively. However, these systems represent a major source of energy consumption, accounting for about 35% of the total energy used in commercial buildings. Considering this aspect, a simple way to reduce energy usage and decrease your utility bills is to identify and address the causes of energy waste in your HVAC system. This blog post discusses the most important ones.

HVAC/R Compressors Affect SEER Ratings. System sizing and compressor technologies are two of the aspects business professionals should consider before replacing a commercial or industrial HVAC system. Proper system sizing combined with the right compressor technologies will allow you to get the SEER rating you’ve paid for and keep your indoor environment comfortable for your customers and employees.

If you’re in the market for a commercial or industrial HVAC system, there are a number of factors you should consider before making the final purchase decision. One of these factors is the SEER rating. Why is this rating so important when selecting an HVAC system? Read on to find out!

What is SEER? Before the SEER rating was developed, central cooling systems were rated based on the amount of energy consumed while running at full capacity in controlled environments. Because this method wasn’t accurate enough, the SEER rating was adopted. The acronym SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Basically, it represents the ratio of a unit’s capacity to the power it consumes in order to provide a specific cooling output during typical day-to-day use.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, energy consumption in the industrial sector accounts for about one-third of our nation’s energy use. Considering the rising demand particularly for air conditioning and refrigeration systems in industrial facilities as well as in commercial and public buildings, energy waste as well as energy bills will continue to increase over the next few years.

When you talk to experts in the compressor industry, the name "Danfoss" is bound to come up. This company is currently one of the world’s leading manufacturers in various components and control systems for the following industries:
