Your HVAC keeps your business comfortable and cool year-round, which is why you need a reliable system. Whether you’re building a new office or replacing an existing air conditioner, background knowledge about HVAC design will prepare you to select the right system. Cornerstone Air Conditioning in Honolulu, HI, shares a basic guide on what to look for in an HVAC for your property. 

Size 

No two businesses are identical, and neither are their HVAC needs. The business space and holding capacity will determine the size of the air conditioning system you need. One that’s too small will have to work harder than it should to cool the space, which could lead to premature wear and tear and breakdowns, while a too large cooling unit will waste energy and money. An HVAC contractor will tell you what size you need based on square footage.

Energy Efficiency

Choosing the right size will minimize energy waste, but selecting an Energy Star®-rated model can maximize efficiency even more. The Energy Star certificate indicates the appliance is at least 30% more energy-efficient than alternatives, saving you money and reducing your carbon footprint. Energy-efficient air conditioners and other appliances can also add resale value to the property, as eco-friendly upgrades are a significant selling point among modern buyers. 

By investing in high-quality, energy-efficient HVAC design and professional installation, you can save a significant amount of energy and money in the long-term.
