Tips For Investing In Central Air For Your Business

By Peter Demuth


I run a small business in Arizona. Over the past few years, I've noticed that my staff members get lethargic when we it gets really hot. I had been counting on portable air conditioners to try to cool off their work areas. However, they just weren't working very well. So last summer, I bit the bullet and bought central air for my entire office. Though it cost quite a bit, and the installing required a week, it was one of the smartest choices I could've ever made. Not only is the business office cooler, but also everybody appears happier and is working harder than ever before.

An air conditioner works by extracting the heat and humidity from the air inside your office building. The scientific term is "energy transfer". Essentially, the machine sucks in the warm air and cools it by running it through a refrigerant. This does a great job cooling the air.

I couldn't be more pleased with how the central air conditioner performs. We fixed the thermostat to 72 and within 15 to 20 minutes, the entire business is chilled.

Before you buy a new central air conditioner, you must think about these points:

1) Give some thought to the type of environment where you live. If you primarily deal with dry heat, you will certainly not need as effective a system as you will certainly if you live in high humidity.

2) Do meticulous computations of how many BTUs you will need to cool your company. There are web-based calculators that enable you to do this.

3) An extremely efficient air conditioner will certainly cost you more in advance, yet will certainly save you money over the long run. Be sure to ask about performance ratings when you are shopping around for your conditioner.

4) A central air conditioner can be pretty easily attached to your main heating system if you have one already installed. Because you already have ductwork, the job will be much easier.

5) We loved our HVAC specialist, but we did hear some horror stories from pals and next-door neighbors about air conditioning installation jobs. There was the person that left the work incomplete and disappeared for three weeks. Then there was yet another tale of a specialist who didn't seal the ducts correctly, costing 1000s of dollars in repairs. Overall, our experience was excellent with our contractor. I advise that you make use of an internet rating service to locate the best person for the job.
