In the bustling environment of Brisbane, where the climate can range from humid summers to mild winters, an effective HVAC system is not just a luxury but a necessity for businesses. A well-functioning commercial air conditioning unit creates a comfortable workspace, improving productivity and overall morale. However, choosing the right system can be a daunting task given the myriad of options available in the market. This is where the HVAC service providers at Air-rite Solutions come in, offering expert advice on the type of system that best fits your business needs.
Yet, buying the air conditioning unit is only half the battle. Regular commercial air conditioning maintenance is vital to ensure that your system operates at its peak performance. Scheduled maintenance not only increases the lifespan of the unit but also helps in energy conservation, reducing overall operating costs. Neglecting this aspect can lead to frequent breakdowns, disrupting work and causing inconvenience.
Investing in commercial air conditioning installation from Air-rite Solutions is equally crucial. A poorly installed system can result in inefficiencies that would cost your business in the long run. Our professionals ensure that the installation process is carried out meticulously, taking into consideration various factors like the size of the office, number of employees, and specific cooling requirements.
In this article, we delve deeper into what you should look for when purchasing HVAC in Brisbane. We’ll cover a variety of factors including efficiency, budget, and different types of systems available, so you can make an informed decision that ensures comfort and productivity in your workspace.
It’s recommended that wall-mounted split systems are used for small businesses as it is easier to install and is specifically designed for a much smaller space. In addition, there are many different brands who offer similar wall-mounted split systems on the market. Though this all depends on your budget and what works for you. Before you purchase a split-system air conditioner, ask yourself a few questions: What type of wall-mounted split system should I install? What size is the room/workspace? Which brands have the best wall-mounted split systems for my small business?
Most small businesses use air conditioners that are suitable to their budget but also to boost productivity in the workplace. If you feel uncomfortable at work due to the heat, this can lead to poor workmanship, produce heat-related illnesses or allergies and can even cause conflict within a toxic environment, Most air conditioners are fitted with specialised filters to reduce the amount of bacteria released into the air whilst helping to purify the air circulation. So, when having an air conditioner installed, this then prevents all theses factors plus it adds comfort to the workplace making it easier to breathe and work.
Do you remember the three questions mentioned earlier? When you finally do have your Split-system air conditioner installed, it’s important to know what temperature is suitable for your workplace. Canstar Blue suggests that the best temperature to use here in Queensland is around 21-23 degrees. Depending on your cooling capacity (ranging from 2.5 -14kW), setting you air conditioner to the recommended temperature can cost you from 16 cents to $1.34 per hour. If you have a small business, you’ll need to be wary of how many Kilowatts your unit has in order to be cost conscious. Small businesses usually have smaller rooms, it wouldn’t make sense to have an air conditioner that has high Kilowatts and a high cost consumption.
When researching for the best wall-mounted split system aircon, there is a lot to consider such as the size, capacity, an energy rating and of course, the cost. However, if you require more information about the codes of practice and how they work, check the Australian Safety Standards under Aircon/refrigeration units.
