When summer temperatures reach their highest in Eastern North Carolina, business owners need robust air-conditioning solutions to keep their staff comfortable and protect heat-sensitive equipment. Here are a few things to consider when choosing large commercial ACs for any type of commercial space.

Energy Efficiency

Energy costs can be a considerable drain on the budget of any business. Even minor improvements in AC efficiency can translate into lower operational costs over the life of the system. When choosing large commercial ACs for your business, look for models with the highest Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios. The most efficient systems will have a SEER of 20 or higher and will be Energy Star-qualified. The federal Energy Star program helps consumers save energy and money by identifying the most energy-efficient appliances, electronics, and more.

Warranty and Reliability

Any downtime due to a malfunctioning air conditioner can cause significant losses for a business. For the most reliable commercial AC equipment, it’s important to choose a manufacturer that stands behind the product and backs it with a generous warranty.

Equipment and Installation Costs

One of the biggest factors in any commercial AC investment is the cost of the equipment and the installation. More efficient equipment will be more expensive upfront, but it can save you money in the long run. Similarly, a reputable, well-qualified HVAC company may cost slightly more for the initial AC installation, but you can expect a more dependable system with greater performance and efficiency.

Best Commercial AC Brands

Most major brands offer large commercial ACs that can cool your commercial space effectively, but choosing the brand that is best for your needs can be a challenge. Ask your preferred commercial HVAC contractor for advice, check equipment reviews, and research online to gauge customer response to the brand.
