The Right Air Conditioning Unit For Your Business
Finding the right air conditioning unit for your business can be a difficult task, especially if it is the first time you are purchasing an aircon system. Luckily here at D-Mec Services, we are here to provide you with the advice you require to help you identify the perfect air conditioner for your workplace. So, after reading this article you will be more educated in finding an air conditioning unit for your working environment.
Consider Where Your Air Conditioning Unit Will be Installed
The first thing you need to think about when finding an air conditioning unit for your business is to consider where the AC system will be installed. This step is important because you need to identify the right system for your workspace. If you have a larger working area you may require multiple units whereas if you are operating in a small office having one unit will be more suitable. So, you should make sure firstly, that you assess your working environment.
If your workplace has multiple rooms or has an open plan layout you will need more units to cover your space. You should also think about the height of your ceilings as higher ceilings will make your system work harder. High ceilings also lead to air pockets which creates areas of rooms which feel slightly warmer than other spaces. This, therefore, means that you will require a more powerful air conditioning system to allow the aircon to effectively circulate around the whole space.

Recognise What Your Business Requires
When it comes to air conditioning systems there are many different types of units to choose from. The type of which air conditioner you will require will depend on several factors including how large your area is, and the total heat generated inside the enclosed area. Luckily for you when you have air conditioning units installed by D-Mec we consider all of the relevant parameters and are able to recommend the most suitable system for your workplace.
Below we have listed the types of air conditioning units and some of their benefits to help you identify the right type for your space:
Wall Types – Wall-mounted devices are highly regarded due to their quietness as they can create the perfect room temperature without disrupting operation at your workplace. The timeless design of these units makes these devices suitable for many different settings.
Floor Types – Floor AC units are suitable for working environments where high-level wall space is not available as they feature a superb low-level design. These devices offer high performance and highly effective in areas with less wall space.
Floor Ceiling Types – Floor ceiling air conditioners offer the best flexibility as they can be set up in either an under ceiling position or at a low-level wall position. So, if you are looking for a more open option, this type of device would be ideal for your business.
Ceiling Types – For areas that require a higher cooling or heating capacity, ceiling air conditioning units offer the most powerful solution. These devices are ideal for areas with less wall or floor space available, such as I.T. rooms.
Ceiling Cassettes – Ceiling cassette units provide multi-directional air distribution. These devices create the perfect air-conditioned environment in larger spaces. These units are ideal for large retail areas or open-plan offices.
Multi-Split Systems – If you need to provide air conditioning to several rooms independently, multi-split systems are the ultimate option. These devices have the ability to supply multiple rooms with air conditioning with the use of one outdoor unit.
Duct Types – Duct type units can provide multiple areas with air conditioning from a single system. Duct air conditioners are suitable for larger areas such as retail units, warehouses and big office environments. These high-performance units can be installed above a suspended ceiling as they have a low installation height. This will provide you with a wide variety of grilles and layouts to allow you to supply more areas with air conditioning.
Think About Efficiency
When it comes to aircon, efficiency is essential. If you have a sub-standard air conditioning unit you may find that it has a higher energy consumption which will lead to greater utility cost. This is why it is important to select an air conditioning system which is both energy and performance efficient. Identifying an AC unit which is effective in circulating cool or hot air to your areas of need is the most important aspect as this will allow you to create the perfect environment both efficiently and effectively.

Consider Maintenance Requirements
Once you have had your air conditioning unit installed you shouldn’t just forget about it and leave it to run. Many businesses make the mistake of avoiding maintenance and servicing which leads to the lifespan of their AC system shortening. Here at D-Mec, we will ensure this doesn’t happen as we offer a planned preventative maintenance programme. Our maintenance service is carried out by expert technicians which will check the coils and filters, by cleaning and replacing them regularly. This will allow you to get the most out of your air conditioning system and will keep your working environment clean and comfortable.
