We Install Air Conditioning in Cairns

There are several types of air conditioning systems suitable for commercial and industrial installations. These include: 

• Packaged Air Conditioning Systems: These units contain all the necessary components including the compressor, condenser and evaporator in a single package. They are ideal for small to medium-sized commercial spaces. 
• Split Air Conditioning Systems: Split systems consist of two separate units—an indoor unit and an outdoor unit—that are connected via refrigerant pipes. They are suitable for cooling individual rooms or smaller commercial spaces. 
• Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems: VRF systems are designed for larger commercial buildings and offer simultaneous heating and cooling. They use a network of refrigerant pipes to deliver conditioned air to multiple indoor units, allowing for independent temperature control in different zones. 
• Chilled Water Systems: These systems use chilled water to cool the air and distribute it through a network of ducts. They are commonly used in large commercial buildings and industrial facilities. 

When choosing an air conditioning system for your commercial or industrial space, consider the following factors: 

• Cooling Capacity: Assess the cooling requirements of your space, taking into account its size, insulation and heat generating equipment. Ensure the system you choose can provide sufficient cooling to maintain a comfortable environment. 
• Energy Efficiency: Look for air conditioning systems with high energy efficiency ratings. Energy efficient systems can help reduce your operational costs and have a smaller environmental footprint. 
• Maintenance & Service: Consider the ease of maintenance and availability of service for the system. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Choose a reputable supplier or service provider that offers reliable support. 
• Noise Level: Evaluate the noise level produced by the system, especially if it will be installed in an office or commercial space where noise can be disruptive. Some systems have features for minimising noise such as variable fan speeds or insulated compressors. 

Regular servicing and maintenance are essential to keep your commercial or industrial air conditioning system running smoothly. The frequency of service depends on factors such as the system type, usage and environmental conditions. Use the following as a general guideline: 

• Filters & Coils: Check and clean or replace the air filters every one to three months, depending on the level of dust and debris present in your environment. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and decrease system efficiency. The coils should also be inspected and cleaned annually to ensure optimal heat transfer. 
• Refrigerant Levels: Have the refrigerant levels checked by a qualified technician at least once a year. Low refrigerant levels can indicate a leak and affect the system's cooling performance. 
• Electrical Components: Inspect electrical connections, controls and wiring annually to ensure they are in good condition. Faulty electrical components can lead to system malfunctions or safety hazards. 
• Overall System Check-up: Schedule a comprehensive system check-up by a professional technician once or twice a year. This involves inspecting and testing the entire system including motors, belts, fans and ductwork to identify any potential issues and ensure optimal performance. 

Remember, commercial and industrial air conditioning systems may have unique requirements, so it is advisable to consult with a qualified HVAC professional for personalised recommendations and service schedules.
