Saving on Energy Costs

To maintain the comfort of customers and employees alike; the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of commercial establishments are typically used day in and day out. Some business owners may be anxious about running the HVAC system all day long because of rising utility bills, but what really affects energy consumption is the condition of the equipment.

There are measures that allows the system to provide comfort without the excessive use of energy. The system can be set at least 1 point down, as long as the temperature is still comfortable for people to continue with their daily tasks. A 1°C difference can give an 8% reduction on the annual heating bill. Ventilation fans should not be running unless they are needed as this accounts for 30% of heat loss and wastes energy.


Proper maintenance is also another way to conserve energy. The simple act of cleaning heating and cooling systems can help save on energy consumption and can even ensure that utilities are in good working condition for a long time. Investing on routine maintenance of commercial HVAC systems can also help owners avoid further damages and costlier repairs. Like all machinery, a well-maintained HVAC system performs better and consumes less energy—definitely a good investment for commercial establishments.
