5 Ways to Cut Your Commercial HVAC Energy Losses

Mark J. Biel • March 8, 2023

Commercial HVAC systems are essential for maintaining comfortable indoor environments in retail stores, office complexes and other similar establishments. Unfortunately, these systems can also be a significant source of energy consumption, which results in high utility bills. Fortunately, there are several steps that business owners in Farmington, NM, can take to reduce the energy losses associated with their commercial HVAC system while still ensuring they have comfortable indoor temperatures all year round.

5 Ways to Cut Your Commercial HVAC Energy Losses

1. Improve Building Insulation

The  insulation of a building makes all the difference in making sure HVAC systems use only the necessary amount of energy to provide indoor comfort. Ensuring an adequate level of insulation can drastically reduce the heating and cooling costs associated with your  new air conditioning  while also making indoor temperatures more comfortable and consistent no matter the season.

2. Seal Any Air Leaks

Sealing air leaks in a commercial building can significantly reduce HVAC energy losses. Leaks in the ductwork, windows, doors, and walls allow outside air to infiltrate and conditioned air to escape. This can cause people to use their HVAC systems more to compensate for the lack of comfort, which can lead to higher energy bills and more carbon emissions.

3. Utilize Smart Technology

A commercial HVAC system’s energy efficiency can be improved with many types of smart technologies. Smart thermostats provide accurate temperature management. Smart scheduling allows commercial buildings to pre-program preferred temperature settings based on occupancy hours. Thanks to sensors in different rooms, automatic changes, and better airflow help save energy.

4. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient HVAC System

Many commercial buildings have outdated HVAC systems that consume far more energy than necessary. The  new heating system installation  and upgrade to a more efficient system will reduce overall energy consumption. It also supports a healthier environment both indoors and outdoors. 

5. Invest in Regular HVAC Maintenance

Maintaining a commercial HVAC system helps ensure its longevity and performance while also saving time and money spent on frequent repairs. By keeping up with scheduled tune-ups, the system’s components can run smoothly and lower the chances of a malfunction. Service appointments should include filter changes, coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, and more.
