What Types of Commercial HVAC Systems Exist?

There are about six heating and cooling systems you can install for your building. Which one is suitable for your space depends on the local climate, building design, insulation and air quality. Talk to us to help you determine which type of heating and cooling system to install for your building.

Commercial HVAC System Types, Advantages and Disadvantages

Below are the different HVAC systems you can install. Talk to us if you need more information or assistance to help you decide which type of system is right for your building. 

Single-Split System

If you're running a larger commercial space, this type of system may not be right for you. A single-split system has a furnace, one compressor, a refrigerant and an evaporator coil. It's ideal for small offices or commercial buildings. A single-split system can only heat or cool individual rooms, so it won't be ideal for shopping malls or larger buildings. Go for a multi-split system instead. 

Multi-Split System

With a multi-split HVAC system, you will have one outdoor unit and several indoor units can be connected to it. The multi-split system is ideal for larger buildings, and you'll be able to control the temperature of each room.

Variable Air Volume

VAV systems are ideal for small offices as the system allows different rooms to be separately cooled or heated. Its key components include the supply ducting system and zone temperature control. It also includes the VAV terminal box, which consists of the damper, airflow sensor, filter, fan and system controls. A few of their advantages include reduced noise, longer parts life and energy efficiency. 

When it comes to maintenance, the VAV system may require more because it consists of more parts. Talk to us if you need more information about the different types of HVAC systems; our technicians are happy to discuss this with you.

Variable Refrigerant Flow

This type of HVAC system uses a refrigerant when heating and cooling commercial spaces. With VRF, you'll have a single compressor that serves multiple indoor units. This lets you individually control the temperature of each room in the building. Its biggest benefit is energy efficiency. This type of system is also quieter and less bulky. Although the VRF system is easy to install, we recommend you get in touch with us to install the unit correctly. If you're running a small commercial space or mixed-use offices or facilities, this type of system might be ideal for you. 

Constant Air Volume

One of the most affordable HVAC systems you can install for your commercial space is the constant air volume. However, CAV units aren't best for commercial spaces with multiple cooling or heating zones. If your building has fewer windows, this type of system might be best for you. 

Talk to us if you can't decide what type of HVAC systems to install for your commercial space; our experienced technicians can help you make an informed decision. 

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are installed outside of the building, and the single unit can both cool and heat your property. These types of HVAC systems are usually ideal for sports facilities or schools. Heat pumps aren't ideal for commercial spaces in areas that get almost freezing temperatures.
