As the weather heats up, it’s never been more important to ensure your business premises has the right type of air conditioning. Whether you operate from an office, garage, factory, or warehouse, it is crucial that your air conditioning is suited to your internal environment. Every commercial space is different and has different layout requirements – which is why there’s no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to commercial air con.
Read on to find out more about the different types of industrial air con units available, so you can better understand which is best suited for your commercial property.
Different types of commercial air conditioning
At Heritage, we stock a varied range of industrial AC units from leading brands. Our diverse range of stock enables us to provide effective cooling solutions for different types of businesses. So, which commercial air con type is best suited to your business?
Wall-mounted
An incredibly popular cooling solution choice, wall-mounted air conditioning units are space-saving and designed to be discreet. The amount of space you have to work within your premises and the way the space is laid out will help determine whether a wall-mounted unit is right for you.
If your workplace is small, or has a lot of furniture or equipment on the floor, installing an AC unit on the wall will help you maximise this floor space. If you operate from an office, wall-mounted air con also looks sleek and discreet, keeping your office cool without cluttering up the place.
Commercial wall-mounted air conditioning maintains an ambient temperature in an office space, no matter what the weather’s doing outside. Each unit comes in a range of different sizes, and so can be used to accommodate to wide range of room sizes and shapes.
Ceiling cassette
Ceiling cassette air conditioning units are perfect for larger, open plan commercial spaces. Each unit is installed in the ceiling, making them an ideal choice for businesses with unconventional layouts.
Ceiling cassette units are designed to effectively cool the air throughout the entire space below them from above. They provide a central location from which cool air is dispersed evenly. Ceiling mounted commercial air conditioning is a perfect cooling solution for factories and warehouses.
Ceiling cassette AC units are also incredibly quiet, making them a great choice for offices too.
Factors to consider when purchasing commercial air conditioning
The size of your space
If you’re working with a small space, you don’t need a massive unit – this will just be a waste of electricity.
If you own a large warehouse, factory, or garage, then a larger air conditioning unit is better. Otherwise, the unit will have to run for longer in order to effectively cool your space, which won’t be as energy efficient.
Quality and maintenance
At Heritage, we only stock world-class brands that perform at optimum levels and have a long lifespan.
We also offer maintenance by our fully qualified, gas-safe engineers. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your air conditioning is operating as efficiently as possible, and to keep on top of repairs to prolong the life of your unit.
Performance and energy efficiency
All businesses are looking at ways they can reduce their carbon footprint and save money on their energy bills. A modern, energy efficient air conditioning unit from Heritage can help with this.
Another important consideration is how quiet the unit is. You don’t want a noisy unit disturbing your work and your staff day in, day out. Our air conditioning units run effectively and discreetly in the background.
