More and more business owners and managers are now viewing the requirement for comfort cooling in their offices as a necessity rather than a luxury.
At the same time they recognise the need to maximise the efficiency of any system installed, not only to reduce the plant running costs but also to minimise the impact on the environment.
The key to choosing the most cost-effective solution, but with the maximum efficiency, is in the preparation of a clear design brief and the application of good design practice.
What appears initially to be the “cheapest” solution doesn’t usually work out to be so in the longer term. At EMS we take the time to establish your needs, advise you of the options available, and then propose a solution tailored to those needs. Once a comfort cooling and heating system has been installed our experienced air conditioning maintenance contractors will ensure it continues to operate effectively and efficiently to ensure optimum AC efficiency.
Using air conditioning as the primary source of heating during winter months is an increasingly popular option for many businesses. Most air conditioning systems have the capability, by reversing the refrigerant cycle of providing warm air heating – such systems are commonly referred to as heat pumps.
The main advantage of using a heat pump is its efficiency. Good quality equipment has, typically, an EER (Energy Efficient Ratio) of 3.5 to 4.0. This means that for every kW of input power, 3.5 to 4.0 kW of heat is produced.
Heat pumps, therefore, provide a much more energy efficient method of heating than conventional gas or electric systems. And, when there is a demand for summer cooling, the system automatically reverts to cooling mode.
