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.

Professional Boiler Services Keep Your Business Running Smoothly

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 requi...

Common HVAC Pump Problems And Their Solutions

Image
Hydronic pumps are a critical part of your commercial HVAC system’s operation, keeping your building cool in summer and warm in winter. Here are some of the most common problems with this unit that we’ve dealt with at our  commercial HVAC company in NJ,  and how to solve them. Cavitation:  This occurs when there is too much air in the liquid that flows through the system and can lead to increased wear-and-tear of the pump and damage to the impeller. Vibration: Excessive vibration can be caused by out-of-balance equipment, bad bearings, an unbalanced rotor, bent shaft or a clogged impeller. The pump will have to be checked as it may have worn out, or your system will require lubrication, replacement bearings, impeller adjustment or an adjustment of the flow speed. The pump is too big: HVAC equipment is often selected without considering the size of the area the system is servicing. An oversized pump will start up and shut down more than it is designed to do beca...
