Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

If you own or manage a commercial building and are in the market for a new HVAC system, you are probably researching the different equipment types available in the market and their respective pros and cons. There are countless brands in the market, and choosing one needs time and a lot of careful consideration.

Choosing the right system is just one part of the process. The second part, which many people rarely consider carefully, is selecting the right person to handle the installation. You could choose the best system in the market, but if you install it incorrectly, you still end up with poor heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Here are the three most common mistakes people make during commercial HVAC installation, and how to avoid them.

1. Choosing and Installing the Wrong Size

The biggest mistake homeowners make when choosing a furnace for their commercial HVAC system is thinking that a bigger unit is better than a smaller one. Often, building owners rely on the HVAC systems supplier or expert to recommend the best unit. 

The best way to choose an HVAC system furnace is by inviting an HVAC installation expert to measure the area the furnace will be heating. They will then use the measurements to determine the HVAC system whose capacity will provide the most effective heating.

2. Poor Installation of the Ductwork

The ductwork determines how efficiently the cold or warm air will flow from the central heating unit to the rest of your commercial building. The materials used to make the ducts should be firm and durable.

Similarly, the installation technique used will determine the success of the system. Hire an installation expert who understands the importance of quality ductwork. They will use the ideal design and install it correctly to meet your HVAC needs.

3. Poorly Designed Exhaust System

The design of your HVAC exhaust also determines the quality of air that will circulate inside your building. If the installer makes a mistake, you might end up with toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, circulating inside your building.

All these are common problems that occur during commercial HVAC installation. To avoid them, hire a competent and experienced HVAC installation expert. Check their credentials and the units they have installed for previous clients to ensure you get value for your money.
