Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial HVAC

How does geothermal heating and cooling work?

Geothermal HVAC systems use the stable ground temperature as a heat exchange medium. A network of pipes (a ground loop) circulates fluid underground, absorbing heat from the earth in winter and transferring it into the building. In the summer, the process reverses, A heat pump extracts heat from the home and transfers it to the cooler fluid, which is then dissipated into the ground. Geothermal HVAC is highly energy-efficient, although installation costs can be higher due to the ground loop installation. It's an environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home or business.

What is an Air Handling Unit (AHU)?

An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is a major component of many commercial HVAC systems. It's a self-contained unit that conditions and circulates air throughout the building. The AHU takes in outside air, filters it, and then heats or cools it before distributing it through ductwork.

What is a packaged HVAC unit?

A packaged HVAC unit is a single, self-contained unit. It's typically placed outdoors, either on the ground or on a rooftop. They can be less expensive than split systems.

What are the benefits of HVAC zoning for my business?

Zoning your commercial HVAC system provides greater flexibility and control over temperature regulation in different areas of your building. This allows for personalized comfort levels in various areas, accommodating diverse needs and preferences. HVAC zoning optimizes energy usage by eliminating the need to heat or cool empty spaces. By customizing temperature settings per zone, you only expend energy on areas that require it.
