Selection of a HVAC system for your building is not as easy as it would appear on the surface. You need to consider the following important aspects before making a decision.

Original equipment cost – The cost of a good HVAC system varies from supplier to supplier. Normally, it is possible to select a system that is necessary for your building, with the price also fitting your budget. The installation of the system must be done by an expert HVAC contractor and the installation costs should also be ascertained.

Running and maintenance costs – All the air conditioning systems use up a fair amount of electricity. Further, you have to enter into annual maintenance contracts after the initial warranty period. You have to find out these recurring expenses. They vary from equipment to equipment and from supplier to supplier.

Type of system and capacity – You have to discuss with various suppliers to arrive at the correct capacity of the HVAC system needed for your building. A general thumb rule in the air conditioning industry is that an air conditioner of one tonne capacity is sufficient to heat or cool about 400 square feet of area. As such, you have to ascertain the total capacity required for your building. You will also have to decide whether the system should be a window or monoblock type or a split type or a packaged unit type.

Moreover, you have to be clear whether you want the system only to cool the room or heat the room or do both. You might also need to specify whether ventilation, humidification, etc. are required. You should also find out the noise level of the HVAC system. There are several models available in the market with very low amount of noise. These might be slightly higher priced but this extra price is definitely worth the headache of a noisy system.

Compliance to system architecture requirements – You will have to talk to the HVAC contractor about the essential service standards and stipulations by the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers and the local governmental authorities. Unless these norms are fully complied with at the time of installation of the system, you will face legal problems.

The easiest way to ensure that all the above criteria are met with without any hassle on your part is to consult our technical specialists. They will guide you thoroughly on these vital aspects so that you can fully relax in the matter of your HVAC requirements.
