A commercial HVAC system must be robust enough to accommodate large spaces and a high volume of people. Factors like the type of business and the size and orientation of the building affect what air conditioning systems are most efficient for a given facility. The following guide describes the available options and the commercial environments best suited to them.

Single-Split

Single-split HVAC systems are prized for their affordability and reliability. They consist of two main components: one located outdoors and one inside on either side of a wall. The exterior unit draws in and cools air through its condenser coils, while the interior unit forces the air into the room and cycles out warm air. This is the perfect choice for smaller business buildings like coffee shops, individual offices, and boutiques.

Multi-Split

Multi-split HVAC systems operate similarly, but it connects several indoor units to a central outdoor unit through a series of ducts. Doctor's offices, restaurants, and larger retail stores benefit most from these systems. These systems also allow you to have multiple temperature settings in each zone to save energy and maximize comfort.

VRF

Large buildings like hotels, office complexes, and big box stores typically use Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) HVAC systems. Using either a heat pump or heat recovery, VRF units can simultaneously heat one room while cooling another. They may have either one central outdoor compressor or multiple units containing refrigerant piping, which connect to indoor units through communication wiring.
