The difference in maintenance cost

As could be reasonably expected, the cost of maintenance as far as commercial HVAC systems are concerned is considerably more than the maintenance cost which will apply to residential units. In a commercial HVAC system, there are many complex components. Commercial systems make use of different mechanisms and the overall size of the system can be gigantic. Because of the size and the complexity of commercial HVAC systems, you require skilled technicians with a substantial amount of experience in order to ensure satisfactory installations. As far as energy efficiency and effective maintenance are concerned, it is also important to have technicians with unique expertise as far as commercial HVAC systems are concerned. As far as commercial HVAC systems are concerned it should be noted that there are many different systems and, therefore, it might be necessary to make use of technicians who are specialists with that particular system. Although it is certainly true that all commercial HVAC systems have been designed and manufactured to ensure a healthy and comfortable environment it will nevertheless be necessary to ensure that frequent HVAC checkups are done by HVAC specialists with extensive knowledge of your particular commercial HVAC system.

The issue of equipment

Anyone who has an HVAC system in his residential home will know that that system is considerably smaller than the majority of commercial HVAC systems available today. Very large corporate properties will require commercial systems that have been specifically designed and manufactured to ensure optimal cooling and heating. As far as residential properties are concerned, they have HVAC systems that are not nearly as thoroughly challenged as the average commercial HVAC system. HVAC systems in residential properties can easily handle the temperature and humidity needs because under most circumstances these conditions do not vary that much. Because of this, the equipment which is integrated into those systems is completely different.

The mechanisms used in different HVAC systems

A very large commercial property will require a large commercial HVAC unit in order to allow it to effectively deal with the challenges which are posed by that commercial property. It should also be understood that the installation and also the manufacturing of the majority of commercial HVAC systems are modular and complex. However, the HVAC systems in residential properties are mostly standalone systems that are relatively simple in design. Because very large commercial HVAC systems are modular and complex most of the parts and components which is used in that system will be placed in the same location. This makes it easier when upgrades become necessary or when maintenance must be done. The HVAC systems which are used in residential properties are completely different. Some of the parts will be installed indoors and others will be installed outdoor and, in most cases, it will be difficult to expand or modify those systems.

Providing effective drainage

Once again, the important issue is the size. Just about every single component which is used in a commercial HVAC system is considerably larger than those which are used in an HVAC system that has been installed in a residential property. The important thing to understand is that a much smaller area is served by your typical residential HVAC system. In most cases, the liquids are drained at a single centralized point which is placed on the outside of that property. This is completely different to how things will work as far as a commercial HVAC system is concerned. Such a system will require a considerable number of pans and pipes in order to ensure effective drainage. There will be considerably more evaporation in a commercial HVAC system and every attempt has to be made to avoid a situation where overflowing of water occurs.

Different levels of complexity

It is very obvious when considering the differences between the structure of a residential HVAC system and that of a commercial HVAC system that the last one is considerably more complex. In a large corporate property, you require a commercial HVAC system which will have to be very adaptable. There are also other factors such as the number of occupants and the specific content of the property was HVAC systems are deployed. It is also important to consider how that property is going to be utilized and whether it is in constant use or whether occupation will only be temporary or periodic. There are many other factors to consider before one can determine the level of complexity which will be necessary as far as commercial HVAC systems are concerned. Will that property is used to sell things, or will it be used as a manufacturing plant? These are only some of the critical factors which must be considered when a commercial HVAC system is designed. Your typical residential HVAC system is simply not in the same league as commercial systems.
