If you’re a business owner or property manager in Green Cove Springs, Florida, air conditioning is a necessity for your business. Whether you are welcoming patients, shoppers, employees, or diners, maintaining a cool, comfortable environment for guests should be a top priority.
Commercial heating, ventilation, and hair conditioning (HVAC) systems are larger, more powerful, and more varied than residential units, as they typically service larger areas with varied building designs. How you choose and maintain your commercial AC system will depend on the type of building you’re cooling and the size of the space.
What are the common types of commercial HVACs?
There are six main types of commercial HVAC systems on the market, each with different layouts and capacities.
- A single-split HVAC system uses one compressor, an evaporator coil, a furnace, and a refrigerant to heat and cool individual rooms. Single-split systems heat and cool individual rooms, making them ideal for small shops, individual offices, or server rooms.
- A multi-split system operates similarly to a single-split, except that multiple indoor units hook up to a single outdoor unit. These are a better choice for large commercial spaces.
- Variable air volume (VAV) systems create constant, comfortable temperatures by varying airflow, allowing buildings to heat and cool different areas separately. VAVs are ideal for multi-room spaces, such as a building with multiple small offices.
- Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems move refrigerants to specific areas within a building to heat or cool the air. Known for being highly effective and energy-efficient, VRFs are suitable for medium to large commercial spaces such as hotels, retail spaces, or large office buildings.
- Constant air volumes (CAVs) provide constant airflow and regulate the building’s climate by adjusting the air supply temperature. CAVs work best in spaces with large open areas and few windows, such as an exhibition hall.
- A heat pump system can provide heating and cooling by removing heat from the air and moving it inside or outside, depending on whether a building needs to be heated or cooled. Heat pumps work best in mild climates, as they lose efficiency when the temperature drops below 40 degrees.
