If you own or operate a commercial business, you almost certainly rely on an HVAC system to maintain the proper climate and humidity inside the facility, whether you need it for process, comfort, equipment, or a combination of all three. 

Unfortunately, many people have misconceptions about commercial HVAC systems because they see them through the lens of the smaller and more familiar systems used to heat and cool homes. This creates several common misunderstandings about commercial HVAC systems. In this post we’re going to look at the most frequent of these misunderstandings. This knowledge will help you make better and more informed decisions about how to handle your commercial heating and commercial air conditioning in Toronto, ON

The Best Reasons to Choose a Local Commercial HVAC Contractor

Monday, June 10th, 2019

service-checkmarkWhen you own and operate a business that relies on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning on a daily basis, it’s vital you have a relationship with a commercial HVAC contractor. You can’t depend on amateurs to handle your regular maintenance service or to come to your rescue when you have a problem like a failed server room cooling system or a complete loss of warm air circulation during the winter. Even simple residential HVAC systems must have a licensed professional to take care of them—and commercial systems are far more complex and intricate.

But not all commercial HVAC contractors in North York, ON offer the same level of service. There are many large contractors who serve the area but aren’t actually local. When you need assistance or to schedule service like installations, these companies will send the work out to whatever contractor in your area is available, sometimes from hundreds of kilometers away. But you can choose to work with a real local contractor in the Greater Toronto Area, like Advantage Airtech. Here’s why going local is your best option.

Custom Sheet Metal for a New Commercial HVAC System

Monday, June 25th, 2018

 

System of ventilating pipes

A typical ventilation system set-up in a commercial or industrial facility consists of pre-fabricated duct sections that are fit together as best they can to serve the space. This allows for fast installation of ductwork during new construction, but it is almost never the ideal way of doing it. The space dictates how the ducts should be laid out, but when the ducts are all pre-fabricated there is little flexibility for putting in ducts in a design that will optimizes airflow, air balance, and conditioned air distribution.

The better route for new duct installation during construction is to have a contractor put in customized sheet metal ducts. Not all commercial and industrial HVAC contractors have the facilities, means, and training to do this job. But we do!

Understanding Tonnage in Commercial Systems

Monday, July 10th, 2017

covered-commercial-hvac-fansThe language of commercial HVAC often sounds strange to people who aren’t in the field—something that’s true of almost any specialized field. But our commercial HVAC experts take pride in working closely with all our customers. It’s one of the reasons most of our customers stay with us for life. We want you to understand what’s happening with your HVAC equipment and what it all means. That way we can maintain great communication that keeps you in the loop.

One example of commercial HVAC lingo you have heard before is tonnage, as in “How much tonnage does a business need for proper climate control?” This sounds like we’re talking about the weight of an HVAC system, but we’re not. Tonnage refers to the cooling and heating capacity of a rooftop HVAC unit or other heat pump/air conditioning system. Finding the ideal tonnage for a commercial or industrial facility is a key part of the work we do.
