How To Save Money With an Efficient Industrial HVAC System

Features of an Industrial HVAC System

Some features that may be found in an industrial HVAC system include:

  • Heating systems such as electric heat, boilers, furnaces and heat pumps
  • Ventilation and dust collection
  • AC units including rooftop units, direct expansion units, chillers and heat pumps
  • Thermostats
  • Sensors
  • Automation systems

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems play an essential role in industrial operations. They condition the air for worker comfort and to safeguard mechanical and electronic equipment. The ventilation system is vital for filtering out dust, dirt, chemical and other contaminants from the air. Dust collection systems are frequently integrated into the overall HVAC system to improve and maintain air quality. By separating the air filtering, it allows the HVAC system to work more efficiently.

Ductwork is a critical component in any industrial HVAC system. Materials can include galvanized, stainless or rolled steel. The design, fabrication, operation and maintenance must consistently and reliably meet the regulations for air quality standards, as well as building codes. It also plays a role in maintaining a safe workplace. That’s why it is critical for you to choose from knowledgeable, experienced local HVAC contractors.

Sensors, thermostats and automation systems provide energy efficiency. Requirements for heating, cooling and ventilating an empty building can vary significantly from times when the facility is fully staffed and operating normally. Sensors can monitor air quality, temperature and occupancy, as well as air pressure to optimize system operations and notify maintenance when there is a problem.

Benefits of Using Experienced Local HVAC Contractors

The cost of using inexperienced installers can be significant. Poorly designed, fabricated or installed HVAC systems can use more energy, reduce productivity and result in low air quality. Substandard air quality can not only impact employee health that results in more frequent absenteeism, but if left unchecked, it could endanger lives and put your business at risk.

Advantages of using an industry-leading provider for sheet metal fabrication, installation, service and preventative maintenance needs include:

  • Cost savings
  • Improved air quality
  • Superior energy efficiency
  • Optimized design for your facility
  • Certified, licensed professionals
  • Adherence to regulatory requirements, building codes and industry standards

What to Look for in an HVAC Contractor

Industrial HVAC systems can be very complex, depending upon the functions and the size of the facility. When your business is at stake, you can’t afford to take the lowest bid.
