Providing air conditioning for a commercial or industrial facility is much different than air conditioning a residential home. Most houses use the same type of refrigerant-based split systems to provide cooling. There are some variations in design, such as ductless mini splits and packaged units, but they still operate on the exact same principles.
With commercial and industrial facilities, air conditioning can mean several different jobs with different goals. Rooftop units may handle comfort needs in a way similar to residential air conditioning, but commercial facilities also have cooling requirements for process and for equipment, such as server room cooling. The air conditioning system for a business often encompasses several types of cooling systems—such as the chiller, which we’re going to look at closer today.
The weather is still cold, but next week is the first week of spring, and spring means businesses need to start planning for the warmer weather and the changes it brings. For many facilities, that means ensuring that the cooling systems necessary to maintain proper temperature during the often hot and humid Toronto summers are working in peak condition and have the necessary adjustments, cleanings, inspections, and tune-ups to prepare them to handle the seasonal shift.
One of the most important commercial HVAC services we offer for our customers is cooling for a relatively small area of a facility. But it’s one of the most vital areas: the server room (also computer rooms and IT rooms). 
The task of providing cooling for a commercial facility is complicated. There are many more types of HVAC systems for commercial cooling than for residential. Residential homes favor the simple split system with an outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator with a blower and network of ducts. The wide range of types of businesses with their different needs requires a similar variety of commercial AC systems. 
If your facility is like most modern ones, it uses packaged rooftop AC units to provide it with cooling. For a small retail business, you might only need a single unit to meet your needs. Larger companies may use many of these modular units to deliver the proper climate control within the building. 
Air conditioning for commercial facilities takes many forms: it’s not just about providing comfort to the people inside the building, and in many cases its main purpose is to protect equipment from overheating. 
What is the best thing you can have done for your 
You keep a close watch on the budget for your commercial facility, no matter the time of year. During the hot and humid Toronto summers, you expect to see an increase in energy usage in your facility because of the high energy demands from the cooling system. Keeping temperatures controlled inside a building is necessary for almost every type of business, whether it means providing comfort to the people inside or preventing damage to equipment and a slow-down in process. Even a medium-sized office space must have effective cooling for the server room or it will suffer from data loss.
If you’re reading this post, you probably think you could do better for your commercial facility when it comes to its cooling system. There are many reasons you may think this: perhaps higher bills, loss of revenue from equipment failing due to overheating, complaints from employees/clients/customers, or a general realization you have an HVAC system that’s old and outdated.
