If you’re a business owner or homeowner in Charlotte, NC, then you probably know how hard it is to maintain your heater and air conditioner year-round. Luckily, there’s a solution. With an all-in-one HVAC unit, you can take the hassle out maintenance and improve energy efficiency.The next time you want to upgrade or change your HVAC, consider an all-in-one unit to save time and money. Here are a few reasons.
Save Room
Saving room is, by far, one of the top considerations for making the transition to a packaged or all-in-one unit. Typically, business and home design plans automatically assume that all HVAC systems are split systems, meaning that there are components on both the interior and the exterior of the building. However, in tight quarters, this often consumes way too much space, and as a result, takes valuable square footage that’s suitable for something more important, such as floor space in a business or man-cave room in a home.
With a packaged unit, you can forget all about that. Everything is in the single unit, which is then installed either on the roof or adjacent to the home or business, freeing up space for whatever you need.
Flexible Options
In addition to saving room, an all-in-one unit also gives you flexible heating and cooling options. Unlike a split air conditioning system, a packaged unit is modular, giving you the ability to add to it. What this means is that if you expand your business, you can also expand your HVAC system to suit your needs. Multiple units on the roof allow you to control temperatures in different parts of the building, unlike a single HVAC unit. This is especially important if you have goods that require exact temperatures.
More Accessibility
If your HVAC unit ever breaks down, you need a technician to repair it. What this means for your home or business is an undefined period of time where you won’t have heat or air conditioning, which makes for a terrible situation, especially when temperatures are at their extremes. Split systems also have a lengthier repair time because a technician has to go back and forth between the interior and exterior of the building. That’s not the case with an all-in-one unit. Instead, all the components are right there for the repairs, lessening the amount of time necessary to fix the unit.
More Secure
With optional roof installation, a packaged unit is out of harm’s way. This means that it stays out of the way of possible threats such as debris or vandals. Many times, vandals and thieves look to strip the copper wire out of split units and sell it for scrap. It’s also much more susceptible to dirt and debris that’s found on the ground. On the roof, the unit is free from any such catastrophe, meaning you can sleep easy knowing that it’s fully secure from danger. This is especially true for commercial buildings, as there is rarely someone to monitor the property around the clock.
Increased Performance & Versatility
The increased performance of an all-in-one HVAC unit is far more observed in commercial properties than residential, for the simple reason that most businesses are much larger. However, these units come with sizes ranging from three to 20 tons, allowing only the maximum size needed to cool or heat the area. Many units also have new, advanced features such as dampers and thermal wheels to make the system more efficient. Also, when used with the proper thermostat, these units are instant money-savers and give you excellent control from the touch of a button.
