ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADES FOR COMMERCIAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

-

The best time to upgrade your building or facility’s commercial air conditioning system is in the last few months of cool weather, before the heat – and the rush – sets in. With one of the largest electrical loads in residential and commercial buildings, it makes sense to invest in energy-efficient upgrades that can help reduce running costs. Here are a few projects to consider, from leading NJ commercial HVAC contractors.

4 Upgrades for Commercial Air Conditioning Systems for Energy Savings:

1. Building Envelope Improvement 
The condition of your building makes a significant impact on both cooling and heating efficiency. So, it’s a good idea to have a professional building envelope inspection before making any upgrades. Check for areas where poor insulation can be improved and where air leaks can be blocked. Once these improvements are made, you’ll lessen the workload on your current system for immediate efficiency improvement.

2. Adequate Air Conditioning Capacity
Excess cooling capacity is not a good thing, despite sounding like it. Buildings with oversized air conditioning systems suffer from a range of costly issues. Not only is the equipment more expensive to purchase, but running and maintaining them is more expensive too. That’s because an oversized air conditioner has so much spare capacity that it operates on short cycles, causing faster mechanical wear. Instead, aim to install a commercial air conditioning system with adequate capacity so that your unit runs the way it was designed to.

3. Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems 
One major upgrade for any building is the installation of a VRF system. Older air conditioning systems have a blanket approach to cooling and limited ability (if any) to cool designated zones. VRF systems, however, are all about zoning because they can be programmed to only cool where it’s needed, resulting in significant energy savings.

4. Programmable Thermostats and Smart Technology 
Buildings and facilities management is becoming more customizable and more connected every day, with the benefit being that buildings are becoming more efficient with technology and enjoyable to use. Technology like Wi-FI  programmable thermostats and Building Automation Systems with Direct Digital Controls help facility managers allocate energy resources more effectively. Many smart systems use BAS with remote sensors to self-regulate, automatically adjusting cooling and heating for unoccupied to occupied spaces as people come and go.

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...
