There are two very different types of HVAC services operating in the Portland area, as well as in all areas around the country. One is a residential HVAC service, and the other type of service is for commercial properties.
Commercial properties can be large or small, but they include different types of HVAC systems. By hiring a service that is a dedicated commercial HVAC company, small businesses have an advantage over working with a residential HVAC company that offers commercial services.
Ability to Work on Complex Systems
While a residential HVAC company may offer services for commercial properties if it is not their focus, they do not work on these complex systems all of the time. On the other hand, a commercial HVAC company that does not do residential work only works on commercial systems.
Commercial HVAC systems are modular, highly complex and are typically customized to the building. By using companies with experienced technicians in commercial heating, cooling, and ventilation, repairs and maintenance can be faster and more efficient. Also, companies like MacDonald-Miller work on all models and systems, meaning everything from design, installation, maintenance, and repairs can be handled by one service provider.
Understanding Maintenance Requirements
Maintaining a commercial HVAC system is a big part of keeping the costs of operation as low as possible. A commercial HVAC company can create a custom maintenance schedule designed to address the specific system, age, and size of your current HVAC system.
Designing a System
In new commercial property construction, or when renovating or upgrading existing systems, the specialized, commercial and industrial HVAC service can be instrumental in the design, development, and installation of the system. These companies can draw on past projects and, using the latest in air conditioning, ventilation and heating technology, design a system that is the best fit for your building requirements.
