There\u2019s a few different methods, and you can choose the one that works best for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure what type of commercial AC sounds right for your business? Let\u2019s help you run through the options before you call for <a href=\"\/commercial-services\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commercial air conditioning installation in Sussex County, DE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Central Air Conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the AC that you most likely have in your home already. Ductwork runs from the air conditioning system through various parts of your business, then those connect to vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s called <em>central AC<\/em> because it\u2019s a centralized source. These systems help you cool your entire business down with the flick of a switch (so to speak). But it\u2019s not the only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While central AC is great for many businesses with tons of space, such as warehouses or buildings with large rooms, there are other ways to cool your business that may be a bit more to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Split Air Conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smaller commercial settings, like an office or a small storefront, could benefit from split air conditioning instead. Whereas central AC can help cool big areas, split systems are used to temperature control smaller areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also energy efficient, so you don\u2019t have to endlessly pump cool air into a space to cool it off. That\u2019s one of the problems with central AC\u2014those machines are effective, but split AC is more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These small units can be installed in various areas of your business. They don\u2019t rely on ductwork, so there\u2019s less to install and maintain. This is ideal for smaller businesses that still need a commercial cooling option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>VRF Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A variable refrigerant flow system feels like a hybrid of the other two options we\u2019ve discussed, but they\u2019re definitely their own thing. VRF systems have one major outdoor unit, just like central AC systems do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they connect to multiple indoor units with direct lines of refrigerant. The word <em>variable<\/em> refers to the fact that these units only circulate the bare minimum amount of refrigerant needed to perform the action, whether during a heating or cooling period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the difference may sound negligible, the small differences matter. These systems are great in commercial environments where space is key and you don\u2019t want to waste it. There\u2019s no ductwork to worry about or care for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>So Which Option Is Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on your specific commercial needs. While we can\u2019t tell you what the best option is over a blog post, we can help by scheduling an appointment to have a technician size a unit that would work best for you, and provide feedback based on your current commercial setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>It\u2019s Up to You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The power is in your hands: which commercial AC system will you choose? We\u2019ll help you size the right unit for your business and set up twice-annual maintenance on top of it so you don\u2019t have to worry about it breaking down on you constantly.
