The HVAC system for a commercial facility is one of the major sources of energy use—sometime the biggest source of energy use. It can be a challenge to find ways to lower operating costs and finding opportunities to save energy.
There are different strategies for improving commercial HVAC energy efficiency. On the extreme end, you can have an aging system entirely retrofitted with the latest in heating, cooling, and ventilation technology and special high efficiency units. This is the most expensive route, but for older facilities it may be the best option. Our technicians at Advantage Airtech Commercial can perform this retrofit so you receive the best results.
For a newer building, we recommend investigating commercial energy management in Toronto, ON.
The best time to have the maintenance done for your commercial air conditioning system is during the cool weather of early spring. Most commercial facilities rely on cooling equipment of some type, whether it’s to provide comfort to employees and customers, or to stop the loss of vital data from equipment overheating. You may think more about your heating system because of the harsh winter in Toronto, but caution year-round can pay off in many ways—particularly in preventing loss of revenue because of a cooling system failure. 
You might believe that it doesn’t really matter what contractor you hire to handle the heating, air conditioning, and ventilation needs of your commercial facility. As long as the company is licensed, it should be fine, right?

There are several ways to provide central heat to a commercial building. The most common one is the rooftop HVAC unit. These packaged heat pump are useful for providing both heating and air conditioning around the year, and because they are located on the roof, they are easy for technicians to work on without creating disruption in the facility space.
If you aren’t familiar with the specifics and the terminology of commercial and industrial HVAC systems (which is no problem; that’s why you have professionals like us!), then you may not understand what a “ton” is when it comes to heating and cooling.
A winter in Toronto can be tremendously stressful on the heating systems for homes, let alone commercial facilities. Almost any commercial or industrial building requires extensive heating systems with proper ventilation to maintain an environment that protects equipment and keeps any employees, customers, or other people in the building from freezing.
We’ve been working on commercial heating, cooling, and ventilation for more than three decades here in the Greater Toronto Area. We’ve seen it all when it comes to HVAC troubles for commercial facilities and buildings, from the routine and common to the very weird.
