Seattle doesn’t have many days that you need to run your HVAC. Most homes get by with just a few days a year when they need to keep cool. However, commercial buildings are a different story. Multistory buildings, large manufacturing space, hospitals, churches, and other buildings have entirely different HVAC needs from homes. When it stops working, there is a lot more at stake than just a warm night or two.
Different Energy Profiles
The Energy Information Administration released a report that shows space heating, ventilation, and constitute 44% of commercial building energy use. This does not take into account the age of the building or the age of the HVAC system. As with any machinery, like HVAC systems age they become more prone to breaking down. Because they are so much larger and more complex than home HVAC systems, breakdowns have a wider impact. HVAC repair for commercial buildings in Seattle demands a contractor who is well-versed in commercial systems.
Choosing the Best Contractor
Will getting an older system repaired alleviates the current problem, future problems may still arise. Choosing a contractor that not only does HVAC repair, but can design, build, and optimize rent system is one way to take care of the present while planning for the future. Efficiency is everything when it comes to commercial of all types, and a building performance survey should be undertaken as soon as possible. More often than not, the low bid is not often the best bid. It pays to look at the value being offered rather than the bottom line.
Go Local!
Local businesses understand local conditions better than anyone else. They can work with microclimates, understand local architecture, local weather patterns, and deliver a system that keeps everyone comfortable all year round while saving energy and money.
