In the southern United States, where temperatures tend to be high year around, the indoor air temperature in homes and commercial buildings must be properly regulated. Although they have the same goal, namely cooling a space, there are several differences between a commercial and residential HVAC system. The differences are significant enough that being competent in the repair of a residential unit does not necessarily mean that the same technicians are equally competent when called upon to carry out commercial AC repair in Lake Charles. The comparison of one system to the other may help commercial property owners and managers understand the importance of hiring a contractor with the knowledge and experience needed to repair a commercial unit.
Commercial space is usually considerably larger than a home. Not only is the area larger, but there are also more people in the space. Air conditioning systems that are installed in a commercial building must be sized to account for the number of people in the building at peak hours. AC systems meant for residential use are smaller and have far less cooling capacity. This is not to say however, that correct sizing is not important. A residential unit that is undersized will not maintain the desired level of comfort. Due to the operating expectations, commercial HVAC systems are large. The equipment is located on the roof of the building. A rooftop location makes it easy for Calcasieu Mechanical Contractors, Inc. technicians to undertake routine maintenance and repair.
Technicians employed by a commercial HVAC company in Baton Rouge know precisely what to look for when there is a system failure. A technician trained in the complexity of commercial systems has specialized knowledge and tools. A skilled technician, one with specific knowledge of commercial HVAC is in a far better position to make an accurate diagnosis of the problem. Once the problem has been identified, the system will be back in service in the shortest possible time.
