Commercial Air Conditioning Installation & Replacement

 Installing a commercial air conditioning system is a vital investment for any business in Miami area, ensuring that employees and customers remain comfortable during our hot and humid Florida summers. The success of any AC installation is built on a foundation of careful planning, proper system selection, and overall adherence to HVAC industry standards 

 Choosing the right commercial air conditioning system is essential. Your commercial AC system should correspond with the size, design, and cooling needs of your building based on its usage. The most prevalent systems utilized in Miami include:  

• Central Air Conditioning Systems: This system employs a central unit to cool the air, which is subsequently distributed throughout the building via ductwork.  

• Rooftop Units: RTUs are well-suited for larger buildings that have limited indoor space.  

• Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems: VRF systems provide exceptional energy efficiency and adaptability.  

• Chilled Water Systems: These systems are highly efficient for larger structures such as hospitals, educational institutions, or office complexes.  

• Split Systems: These systems comprise an outdoor condenser and one or more indoor air-handling units. 

 Prior to installation, our technicians conduct a load calculation to ascertain the suitable equipment required for cooling your building. This procedure considers various factors such as the size of the building, occupancy levels, the existence of heat-generating equipment, and any additional heat sources. We understand that an accurate load calculation is essential for designing a system that effectively addresses your cooling requirements while minimizing energy waste. 

Experienced and expert AC design is crucial for optimizing both performance and energy efficiency. The following factors play a significant role in commercial AC planning:

• Zoning Requirements: Zoning allows different parts of the building to have varying temperatures, which can improve energy efficiency by directing cool air only to where it’s needed.
• Ductwork Design: Proper ductwork layout is essential for proper airflow and energy efficiency.
• Ventilation and Fresh Air Intake: Adequate ventilation maintains indoor air quality and improves occupant comfort.
• Energy Efficiency Standards: We follow state and local regulations regarding energy efficiency to reduce environmental impact and lower your operational costs.
• Noise Control: In some settings, noise levels from AC systems can be disruptive. Various measures can help reduce noise.

The installation of commercial air conditioning in Metro Atlanta typically follows these steps:

• Site Preparation: This might involve structural modifications, such as reinforcing rooftops for RTU installation or preparing areas for outdoor condensers.
• Ductwork Installation: The system’s ductwork is installed to distribute cool air. In cases where existing ductwork is used, modifications may be necessary to accommodate the new system.
• Electrical Setup: Proper electrical work is essential to power the system, and certified electricians will ensure that all wiring and connections comply with safety standards.
• Refrigerant Line Installation: For split systems or VRFs, refrigerant lines are installed between the outdoor condenser and the indoor air-handling units to facilitate cooling.
• Drainage System Setup: A drainage system is necessary to remove condensate produced by the cooling process, preventing water damage and maintaining air quality.
• Placement and Control System Setup: The cooling units are installed and secured, followed by setting up control systems, such as programmable thermostats, allowing for easy temperature control.

Adhering to the building codes and energy standards of Metro Atlanta is crucial for the safe and efficient installation of commercial HVAC systems. Our extensive experience in the region has equipped us with knowledge of the necessary permits. Furthermore, we are committed to following energy ratings to minimize energy expenses and support sustainability efforts. Following installation, the systems are subjected to thorough testing and commissioning to verify their proper functionality, which includes assessments of airflow, refrigerant levels, and thermostat precision.
