Many companies struggle with energy costs, finding lighting systems and HVAC to be the two biggest contributors. In specialized commercial and industrial workplaces, other large-scale systems also draw significant power. Inefficient systems add substantial overhead in a year.
With a commercial HVAC system, a small difference in energy consumption can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars saved. While some factors that influence HVAC performance are out of anyone’s control, there are many elements you can influence directly.
Commercial compressors are a major cost in a variety of industries. HVAC and refrigeration systems alike rely on them. If an HVAC system breaks down in a commercial or industrial building, work might stop in a matter of hours.
Experts estimate large office buildings in the United States use an average of 20 kilowatt hours of electricity per square foot every year. Large offices are those with 100,000 or more square feet of space.
The compressor is one of the more expensive components to replace in a commercial HVAC system. However, the systems are built dynamically and will serve you for many years without breaking down, if you follow the appropriate maintenance procedures.
Installing remanufactured compressors rather than new units is a recommended green approach of renewing industrial warehouse cooling systems. By choosing a remanufactured compressor, you are essentially sidestepping the energy-intensive processes of creating the main compressor body and accessories, which typically involve smelting steel from raw materials.
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.
Remanufactured compressors are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. They provide companies with a viable option if they don't want to invest in a 100% brand new compressor from the OEM. The remanufacturing process provides you with a quality piece of equipment without the exorbitant cost associated with purchasing a brand new compressor. Because of the constant use, compressors will often exhibit signs of wear and tear much sooner than other parts within the system. Investing in a remanufactured compressor can add years to the life of your equipment.
HVAC compressors are designed to operate at maximum efficiency. Although some are organically more efficient than others simply due to how they are constructed, it's up to you to make sure they remain in good operating order at all times. Compressors draw a large amount of power because of the work they do. To maximize their efficiency, it's essential that they are serviced regularly and that qualified HVAC technicians be called in to handle any problems that may arise.
There are some things that we all take for granted, and at work, one of those is the HVAC system. When it’s cold we expect the heating to work, and when it’s warm, we turn up the air conditioner. When something stops working, it is usually when we need it most, and then it becomes a company crisis as the search for someone who can fix things at this very moment is in dire need.
