Single Zone Vs. Multizone– Multizone commercial HVAC systems are ideal for larger spaces like warehouses, factories, office buildings, and even larger restaurants. They allow each area of a building to have its distinct climate. It’s generally advisable for businesses to go with a multizone system, as different areas of your facility require different temperatures and different levels of heating and cooling.

Constant Volume Vs. Variable Volume–Applying specifically to air conditioning systems, the question of variable volume vs. continual volume is whether you want a continuous air flow at the same speed or irregular flows based on the time of day. Variable speed flow is changed periodically through internal pressure sensors. They are ideal for businesses that have particularly variable internal climate conditions.

Radiant or Forced-Air Commercial HVAC Systems? – This is, perhaps, one of the most important and immediate questions residential HVAC installers ask themselves, even when they don’t realize It. This generally exemplifies the “better and quicker performance vs. energy efficiency” debate.

Ducted or Ductless System?– Most commercial HVAC systems require complex and involved ductwork to channel and distribute air throughout your building. There are, however, ductless commercial systems that use air handlers that blow air separately in each room. These systems are ideal for spaces with no existing ductwork or room to run in the building. Ductless systems are also helpful for adding a new room to your commercial building and when you want multiple zones.
