How Does Commercial Heating Work?

Maintaining a comfortable temperature in your commercial building is crucial for the well-being of your employees and customers. At Hassler Heating and Air Conditioning, we understand the complexities of commercial heating systems and can help you find the ideal solution for your specific needs.

Commercial heating systems typically involve three key components:

  1. Heat generation: Furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps are common methods for generating heat in commercial buildings. Furnaces burn fuels like natural gas, while boilers heat water or produce steam. Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative by extracting heat from the outside air.
  2. Heat distribution: Once heat is generated, it needs to be efficiently distributed throughout your building. Forced air systems use fans and ductwork to circulate warm air, while hydronic systems rely on pipes to transport hot water or steam.
  3. Temperature control: Thermostats play a vital role in monitoring and regulating the temperature. Advanced zoning systems allow you to customize temperatures in different areas of your building, optimizing comfort and energy efficiency as needed.

What Is the Average Lifespan of a Commercial HVAC Unit?

The lifespan of a commercial HVAC unit can vary depending on several factors, including the type of system, its usage, and how well it’s maintained. However, most commercial HVAC systems last between 15 and 20 years.

Factors that can influence the lifespan of your system include:

  • System type: Different systems have varying lifespans. Geothermal heat pumps, for example, are known for their exceptional durability and longevity.
  • Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your system running efficiently and extending its lifespan. Neglecting maintenance can lead to premature wear and tear and costly repairs.
  • Usage: The frequency and intensity of use can also affect the lifespan of your HVAC system. Systems in high-demand environments will likely experience more wear and tear.
  • Installation quality: Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. A poorly installed system may develop problems and require frequent repairs.
  • Building conditions: Factors such as air quality, humidity levels, and proper ventilation can all affect the lifespan of your HVAC system.

We can help you assess your needs and recommend the right system for your building and usage patterns. 

Types of Commercial HVAC Systems

Commercial buildings can use various HVAC systems to meet their unique heating and cooling needs. 

Some of the most common types include:

  • Packaged rooftop units (RTUs): These self-contained units are conveniently located on a building’s roof, offering efficient heating and cooling with zoning capabilities for customized comfort in different areas. 
  • Split systems: Like residential heating and cooling systems, split systems have separate indoor and outdoor units. They are often used in smaller commercial spaces or to condition individual zones within a larger building. 
  • Variable air volume (VAV) systems: VAV systems intelligently adjust the amount of conditioned air delivered to different areas of your home based on their specific needs. This optimizes energy efficiency and fosters consistent comfort. 
  • Heat pumps: Providing both heating and cooling, heat pumps transfer heat between indoor and outdoor environments. They are highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, reducing your carbon footprint and utility bills. 
  • Geothermal systems: These systems harness the stable temperature of the earth to provide heating and cooling. While they require a higher upfront investment, geothermal systems offer significant long-term energy savings and exceptional environmental benefits.

What Type of Air Conditioning System Is Most Commonly Used in Large Commercial Buildings?

For large commercial buildings, packaged rooftop units (RTUs) are often the preferred choice for air conditioning. 

These self-contained units offer efficient cooling, convenient rooftop installation, and zoning capabilities to customize temperatures in different areas. While other systems exist, RTUs provide a practical and effective solution for maintaining comfortable temperatures in large commercial spaces.

Signs Your Commercial HVAC System Needs Repair

A malfunctioning HVAC system can disrupt your business operations and create discomfort for employees and customers. 

Watch for these signs that your system may need repair:

  • Inconsistent temperatures
  • Poor airflow
  • Unusual noises
  • Increased energy bills
  • Frequent cycling
  • Unpleasant odors

If you notice any of these signs, contact Hassler Heating and Air Conditioning promptly. Our technicians can diagnose the problem and provide the necessary repairs.

Common Problems for Commercial HVAC Systems

Like any complex mechanical system, commercial HVAC systems can experience various issues. 

Some of the most common problems include:

  • Refrigerant leaks: Leaks in the refrigerant lines can lead to reduced cooling capacity and increased energy consumption. 
  • Electrical faults: Problems with wiring, motors, or control boards can cause the system to malfunction or shut down completely. 
  • Thermostat issues: A faulty thermostat can lead to inaccurate temperature readings and improper system operation. 
  • Dirty air filters: Clogged filters restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and can even damage the system. 
  • Ductwork problems: Leaks or blockages in the ductwork can disrupt airflow and create uneven temperatures. 
  • Frozen coils: Ice buildup on the evaporator coils can prevent the system from cooling properly. 
  • Wear and tear: Over time, components like belts, bearings, and motors can wear out, leading to decreased performance and potential breakdowns.

Regular maintenance is crucial for preventing many of these problems. Hassler Heating and Air Conditioning offers comprehensive maintenance agreements to keep your system running smoothly. Our proactive approach includes thorough inspections, cleaning, and tune-ups that help us find potential problems before they escalate into issues that require costly repairs. 

With regular maintenance from Hassler Heating and Air Conditioning, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your HVAC system is in top condition, providing optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
