HVAC is short for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, otherwise known as climate and air control. HVAC units come in all shapes and sizes and offer a multitude of benefits – depending on the size of your building. Each unit includes any combination of a Boiler, an Air conditioning unit and/or air ducts and moisture vents.
What is an HVAC system?
The primary purpose of a Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system is to control the environmental conditions inside a home or property, ensuring your building maintains a decent level of air quality, ventilation and filtration. But most importantly, it controls the climate of your premises, ensuring the proper temperature levels are maintained and regulated whilst ensuring the correct moisture levels are maintained.
With many HVAC systems often accounting for up to 40% of a commercial building’s energy usage, conserving energy and saving money is on everyone’s agenda whilst we find ourselves in the current cost of living crisis. With many businesses looking for ways to become more energy efficient, having an efficient HVAC operation can save you money and reduce your energy consumption, thus impacting overall spending on energy whilst improving your business’s profitability.
The Carbon Trust estimates that many UK businesses waste up to £1.6bn annually on energy that could have been saved through upgrades to heating and lighting.
