4 Ways Businesses Can Reduce Heating & Cooling Costs

Commercial property owners and facility managers will benefit from an integrated HVAC system that can improve working conditions while reducing overall climate control costs. Then again, the equipment alone won’t provide maximum efficiency.  For consistent comfort without worrying about overpaying for heating and cooling, business owners and managers must keep the following in mind:

Preventive Maintenance

HVAC maintenance ensures the equipment’s continuous operation. Scheduling inspections at least once or twice a year helps reduce long-term repair costs by identifying issues ahead of time. Small problems won’t impact performance or costs at first, but they can result in extensive damage if not addressed promptly.

Smart Technology

Another way to save on HVAC costs is to invest in HVAC systems with smart technology capabilities. Instead of manual control, you can have smart thermostats and sensors installed in your commercial property or facility which utilize pre-programmed comfort levels to automatically set and regulate the desired temperature levels. These set-and-leave devices take habits, weather and actual temperatures on the property into account.

Personal Climate Control

Having a well-maintained HVAC system is important, but it can rarely accommodate the climate needs of everyone involved. HVAC repair contractors recommend investing in portable indoor heaters and ACs to supplement centralized climate control within the property or facility. To ensure airflow and venting in areas that don’t receive much air circulation, high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans can likewise be installed.

Enhanced Insulation

Implementing a proper insulation strategy is a great way to maintain HVAC efficiency within the commercial property or facility. This way, the heating and cooling equipment won’t run longer and use up energy keeping indoor temperatures within acceptable levels. Proper insulation results in cost savings.
