You can purchase the best HVAC brand for your building but if it is not well-installed, it may malfunction and cause a lot of problems. Installation of an HVAC system needs to be done based on the typical features of your building and it is for this reason that people should hire an HVAC professional.

 

Proper installation of HVAC is not just fixing and securing the HVAC system, it should take into consideration all efficiency, safety, and economic factors. Below are some of the factors that need to be considered.

 

The Size of the HVAC

 

The size of your building is the sole determinant of the size of the HVAC you should purchase. If you have a large building, you’ll need to buy a large HVAC system that would be able to serve all areas sufficiently and efficiently. The ability of your HVAC system to cool or warm air should be sufficient enough to cater for all areas of your building.

 

If you choose a larger system than what your home requires, it will be switching on and off always thereby increasing its wear and tear. A smaller system would have to work extra hard to cater to your air heating and cooling demands thereby increasing its wear and tear.

 

Electricity Consumption

 

Most HVAC has a power rating of between 8 to 11.5. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the system is. Choose an energy efficient system that will not inflate your electricity bills.

 

Besides being economical, energy efficient machines are environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful gases or chemicals to the surrounding. Besides, modern machines can be regulated so as to control power consumption. An HVAC professional can advise you on the best brand and type so that you buy the best economical HVAC machine.

 

Duct Work Required

 

Where your duct system reaches are where the impact of HVAC will be experienced. Depending on the areas where you want cooling or heating to occur, proper duct installation must be done. All joints must be sealed to ensure no leaks occur. Planning needs to be properly done ensuring all areas that the HVAC is intended to cover are well-supplied.

 

Before installing the HVAC, consult the HVAC specialist who can perfectly design your ducts and test them for competency before installing your system.

 

Location of Installation

 

One of the most important factors is the location, especially where you plan to install the Coil and Fan. The attic, garage, or crawl space could appropriate as long as the HVAC is not exposed to the outside weather and all local regulations are fully met. You can install the Fan coil unit in basement, closet, or utility room depending on what your local codes are requiring.

 

Make sure your HVAC is away from gases or areas where people move from one place to another frequently. It should be in a very isolated area where it can work without compromising the comfort of people in your home. The HVAC installation company can decide the best place to install your HVAC machine. If you don’t have a perfect place to install it, first create the space before you head to the shop to buy a new HVAC system.

 

Maintenance Requirements

 

Maintenance is needed to uphold the efficiency and safety of your HVAC system. Your HVAC professional can schedule maintenance intervals. You should be able to cater to the routine maintenance costs to ensure your machine’s efficiency is always reliable and efficient at all times.

 

If you are sure you will be able to maintain it perfectly, you can go ahead and install it in your building. Commercial HVAC is big so it requires intense maintenance so consider consulting the HVAC professional for you to know what is expected of you.  Consider looking for a durable and robust system that will not breakdown easily.

There is a life-span for every machine so ensure you inquire about it before you buy the HVAC system. A warrant must be available so that in case the HVAC system fails before the warranty expires, the manufacturer will replace all machine for free. HVAC without a warrant is a great risk because they could fail any time.

 

Conclusion

 

Do you need any add-ons? You may need some extra equipment to increase the efficiency of your HVAC system so your HVAC contractor must enlighten you on this. The extra equipment required depends on the brand and type of HVAC you want to buy. Dehumidifiers, UV lamps, air cleaners, and alarms are some of the equipment you may need.
