Whats the Difference Between Commercial and Residential HVAC Service

There are some differences between residential and commercial HVAC repair and maintenance. We have technicians that are qualified to do both commercial and residential maintenance and repair. A big difference is the size of the heating and cooling units. The commercial units are larger than the residential units of course because they typically need to heat and cool a larger area. With the larger size of the systems comes more cost. The commercial units cost more than your typical home HVAC system. When it comes to inspection and repair of the commercial HVAC units they are more complicated than the home HVAC systems. When techs go to the home to inspect the heating and cooling equipment they have one or sometimes two units to look at and diagnose. When our techs go to commercial spaces to diagnose the HVAC system they will have multiple systems and units that they will have to look at in order to figure out what is wrong. It is more complex than a regular home HVAC unit. The commercial systems will have more complicated damper systems and thermostats. Commercial systems have both the outdoor and the indoor components that your residential HVAC system has but they are combined into one module instead of two. When they are packaged together, they are set up differently than residential systems and need more training to be able to install, diagnose, and repair then you would with residential systems. Commercial buildings are often under ever changing electrical codes. This means you should have a commercial HVAC technician hired to maintain your equipment each year in order to keep up with the various code changes. The last thing a business needs is to fail electrical and other codes. Bartlett Heating and Air can work with you to maintain and repair your HVAC needs so call us today!
