What are the benefits of commercial air conditioning?
The latest air conditioning technology offers a range of improvements versus older, leakier and often expensive-to-run units. Not only do modern air conditioners create a comfortable environment for staff, customers, visitors, residents and contractors, but they can also improve air quality for everyone using the building thanks to built-in filters that remove allergens and air pollutants.
During hotter spells, quality commercial aircon will also protect your critical equipment and assets, including hardware and server rooms. Plus, there’ll be less need to open windows and doors, improving site security for extra peace of mind.
Commercial air conditioning systems can also provide a back-up or even full-time alternative to traditional heating systems, delivering energy-efficient, year-round performance in buildings of all sizes, and potentially even saving you money in the long run.
Why spring is the right time for your installation
Spring is the best time for a commercial air conditioning installation for many reasons, the best of which is not asking your staff and visitors to put up with colder (or hotter) temperatures as you’re having the work completed.
Summer is usually the busiest time of year for air conditioning engineers, who’ll be needed to carry out planned maintenance, emergency repairs, and last-minute installs. By getting the work completed in good time, you’re likely to secure the experts you need, and give those contractors enough time and practical space to get the system up and running so it’s tested and ready for that first hot day.
Getting the system ready earlier will also help your employees adjust to how it works, before it’s used in earnest.
Utility beyond the summer
The newest commercial air conditioning systems are highly versatile and can easily provide heating as temperatures begin to dip again over autumn and winter. If your units have air filters on board, they can also help to keep air clear of allergens, whatever the season.
Servicing and maintenance
If you’re already making the most of a commercial air conditioning system, spring is also a great time to get it serviced, maintained, and – if necessary – certified. It’s always better to get this done before you need the system to be running for longer, so we’d advise you not to wait until the temperature rises to see if your system is still working effectively.
Remember, all air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of more than 12kW must be regularly inspected by an energy assessor according to UK regulations.
