GAS HEATING OR HEAT PUMPS? HOW COMMERCIAL HEATING OPTIONS MEASURE UP

-

Commercial buildings are slowly making the change from using fossil fuels for heating to more sustainable and renewable sources of energy and, in so doing, they are reaping the rewards in terms of energy-savings and lower emissions. The push to convert commercial heating systems from fossil fuels to electric power has meant that more facilities are looking at heat pumps as viable sources of commercial heating. So, how do heat pumps measure up against traditional gas heating for commercial boiler systems and heating systems? Our commercial HVAC contractors share some insights.

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

A heat pump uses similar technology to that used in fridges and freezers. It utilizes a refrigerant, a reversing valve (so that it operates for both heating and cooling), a coil, evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion device and ventilation system. A heat pump is an electrically-powered device that uses a relatively small amount of energy to move heat from one location to another. Typically, it pulls heat from the ground or air to be pumped into a building to warm it in winter, and it pumps excess heat out of a building into the outdoors in summer.

One of the most significant benefits of a heat pump is that it combines heating and cooling into one single system. Another benefit is that it is positioned to help facilities reach emission and cost-saving goals. This is because electricity can be provided not only from on-site and sustainable sources (through solar panels, for example), but also from off-site sustainable sources as many power stations are starting to draw from renewable energy sources themselves. This means that it burns no fossil fuels for heat production or cooling.

Heat Pumps as an Effective, Cost-Saving Alternative to Gas Commercial Boiler Systems in NJ

Heat pumps are quickly growing in popularity in the USA, and especially in New Jersey, where there are strong commercial incentives and rebate programs designed to support facilities in moving off fossil fuels over to more energy-efficient and renewable energy systems. New York State is also offering similar incentive programs, including rebates for heat pumps.

Another incentive for installing a commercial heat pump for your boiler systems is the continuing reduction in installation costs and systems costs as the technology becomes more popular and affordable to manufacture, and installation skills increase in availability.

In large commercial buildings, the preferred route is to install variable refrigerant (VRF) heat pumps, while smaller commercial facilities are choosing to utilize air source heat pumps similar to those used in residential applications.

A proper heating system is essential for every commercial building, including factories and industrial sites, and having the correct  boiler system installed  and maintained by specialists is key to operational efficiency and minimal downtime. But all commercial Boiler service companies are not created equal. Levels of expertise, experience, access to specialized equipment, responsiveness, and integrity when considering repair or replace, are also critical. What to look for in your commercial boiler contractors  Commercial and industrial experience:  If you need an existing system maintained, repaired or upgraded, or a new system built from the ground up, residential boiler specialists simply won’t be able to help you – you need a partner who understands the demands of commercial heating systems. This is because scale isn’t the only factor at play – commercial systems have to work harder, have a role beyond just heating in many businesses, and often require advanced facilit

A good commercial HVAC contractor is more than a company that you call when things start going wrong in your building – they’re a partner who works with you to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for employees, clients and tenants. Here are some tips on finding a HVAC contractor that can be relied on for professional, expert service and advice. Essential paperwork:  One of the very first steps in this process is ensuring that the company has the correct permits and licensing from the state or municipality, and that they are in possession of a contract license surety bond. This ensures that the contractor is qualified and protects you against unfair dealings or if something goes wrong. It’s also important that your contractor has worker’s compensation insurance in case a worker is injured while working on your property.

Looking for a  commercial HVAC contractor  to maintain, repair, design or install a new HVAC system for your building? Here’s some advice to help you find the right team for the job. Don’t Make These Mistakes When Hiring a Commercial Contractor  You don’t know what you need:  Of course, your HVAC contractor should be able to do a full assessment of your system and advise you on repairs or upgrades, but it’s important that you have an informed idea of the services you are seeking. Are you making energy-efficiency a priority? Is your system making strange noises and emitting unpleasant smells? What is your budget? You don’t get multiple quotes:  Unless you have industry experience, it’s very difficult to tell when a quote is reasonable or not, which makes getting multiple quotes essential. Call in at least three contractors and have them assess the situation and see what they offer before you accept an estimate. You don’t ask for references:  The best way to find out if your
