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.

Nobody likes to find insects or rodents, especially cockroaches in or around their commercial refrigerant system. Let alone these insects and other pests that enter the food storage spaces like pantries and refrigerators or your commercial establishment. Getting rid of them can become a serious issue if the place is fully infested by insects or rodents. They can find a million nooks and crannies to hide comfortably and start raving havoc on your commercial refrigerant system.

Back in 1999, there were global calls for recognition of climate change as a serious problem facing the next several generations. Companies across all sectors were called upon to investigate ways to reduce waste and cut carbon emissions. Hitachi, as one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial equipment, rose to the occasion and rolled out their own program for saving energy and improving operations for all of their customers. This program resulted in many improvements in commercial compressor installations and offered companies a clear path to operating more efficiently in the future. We'll take a look at how we got there.
