FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What are HVAC building services?

HVAC building services encompass the design, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems within commercial and residential structures. These services support indoor environmental quality, thermal comfort, proper fresh air exchange, and moisture control throughout the building.

What are the different types of air handling units in HVAC?

Air Handling Units (AHUs) generally fall into several categories based on their design and application: Modular AHUs are customisable units built from individual sections (fans, filters, coils) to suit specific airflows and spaces.; Compact/Packaged AHUs are pre-engineered, self-contained units ideal for smaller commercial spaces where roof or plant room space is limited.; Draw-through units pull air through coils for better humidity control, while blow-through units push air through.; Heat Recovery AHUs are equipped with thermal wheels or plate heat exchangers to recapture energy from exhaust air this reclaimed energy is then used to temper incoming fresh air.;

How often should your HVAC system be serviced?

Commercial HVAC systems should typically be serviced a minimum of one to two times per year, depending on the system type, usage intensity, and environment. Critical facilities or high-occupancy commercial buildings often require quarterly or monthly visits for filter checks, belt inspections, and performance calibrations.

What is the difference between commercial and industrial HVAC?

While both handle large-scale operations, commercial HVAC systems are designed for human comfort and occupancy in spaces like offices, retail outlets, schools, and hotels. Industrial HVAC systems, on the other hand, are engineered to control extreme process loads and protect heavy manufacturing equipment.

What is the typical life expectancy of an HVAC system?

A well-managed commercial HVAC system typically lasts between 15 to 20 years. However, individual components such as compressors, fans, and controls may require replacement or major overhauls after 10 to 12 years. Regular preventative maintenance can help maximise the lifespan of your HVAC system.

What is the most common cause of air compressor failure?

The single most common cause of refrigerant compressor failure in commercial systems is electrical or lubrication issues, often stemming from overheating, contaminated refrigerant, lack of routine maintenance, or electrical surges.
