How to Choose the Right Air Conditioning System for Your Office

An air conditioning unit is a crucial component of any functional office space. It keeps your employees comfortable, helps improve the air quality, and regulates humidity levels. But how do you decide which air conditioning system is right for your office? In this quick guide, our climate control engineers in the South East of England will show you the top things you need to consider when choosing a commercial climate control system.

The Quality of the Unit

Installing a new air conditioning unit is a hefty investment, so you want a system that’s high quality and will last for years. The better system, the less ongoing maintenance it will require and the less likely it is to break down, saving you money down the line.

At ACS Air Conditioning, we are approved installers for all of the leading brands. We’ll talk you through your options and make sure you get the best, high-quality AC unit for your office.

The Installation Process

Different units will need different provisions for the installation. You’ll need to choose an appropriate location for the unit, and it will likely involve electrical work and wiring to install. All of this needs to be taken into account, which is why we provide free site visits beforehand.

Warranty and Service Package

When it comes to investing in a large electronic product, the warranty is crucial. If the AC unit breaks down quickly, you need a warranty to protect you against high repair costs.

Luckily, all of the units our engineers install come with extended warranties, so you’re fully covered against breakdowns and faults.

The Size of Your Office

Air conditioning systems come with different capacities, so you need one large enough to handle your office space. If you have a very large office, you might even need two units to cope. As a guide, you’ll need 25 BTU (British Thermal Units) per square foot to give the minimum cooling capacity.

Number of Staff

As well as the size of your office, we’ll need to think about the number of people that use the space every day. This also plays a factor in the capacity of an air conditioning system. For a large office with many staff, you’ll need a larger unit. Fewer people occupying the space means a smaller unit will likely suffice.

Noise Levels

The last thing you want is a noisy AC unit interrupting staff while they’re working. Modern air conditioning units are quiet, but it’s also best to look into this before having one installed.

Reliable Engineers

Finally, you’ll need a reliable team to carry out the air conditioning installation process in your office. Ac units require specialised training and an experienced team to install well, so it’s best to trust the experts.
