Smart Cooling Insights: Choosing the Right System

  1. Central vs. Rooftop AC – What’s the difference? Central AC systems are great for smaller commercial units, or those with internal ductwork.
    Rooftop units (RTUs) are preferred for larger buildings or spaces needing zone control, energy savings, and easy maintenance access.
  2. How do I know when it’s time to replace my commercial heating and air conditioning?
    If your system is over 15 years old, makes noise, leaks, struggles to cool evenly, or causes high energy bills, it may be time to upgrade. We offer full load assessments and efficiency audits.
  3. Can I control different zones independently?
    Yes. We install multi-zone systems that let you control temperatures in specific areas, ideal for businesses with varied usage throughout the day.
  4. Are Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) a good option for commercial spaces?
    PTAC units are ideal for hotels, care homes, and multi-tenant buildings where individual room control is needed without central ductwork. They’re easy to install, energy-efficient, and allow independent temperature control per room. They can be heat pumps for comfort all year, or air conditioners with electric heating strips.
  5. Are modern AC units more efficient?
    Absolutely. New commercial units feature variable-speed compressors, better refrigerants, and advanced thermostats that significantly lower operating costs.
  6. Are there rebates for upgrading commercial AC?
    In some cases, yes – especially when part of a broader HVAC energy-efficiency upgrade. We’ll help you determine what programs apply.
