Keep Your Place Cool, Smooth, and Compliant with Our Professional HVAC Installation
Designing a suitable HVAC system and installing it properly is crucial for a restaurant as it affects safety, efficiency, customer experience, and the overall operation and success of the place.
Aside from complying with health and safety codes, a professional HVAC installation has the following benefits.
It controls and regulates the levels of temperature and humidity to create a pleasant atmosphere for the customers and a suitable working environment for the staff to be more productive and efficient.
The ventilation provided by the HVAC system helps to remove odors, smoke, and other harmful gases and pollutants and creates healthier, safer, and cleaner air.
Modern HVAC systems significantly reduce energy consumption, making them both sustainable and economical (lower utility bills).
HVAC systems extend the lifespan of the facility equipment by preventing overheating and high humidity levels, which also means less kitchen disruption and downtime.
Factors We Consider When Designing and Installing Your Facility’s HVAC System
Commercial Facilities’ HVAC systems are composed of several smaller systems that work together to provide the benefits discussed above.
A commercial HVAC system in a commercial facility such as a restaurant may include:
Restaurants’ HVAC systems are composed of several smaller systems that work together to provide the benefits discussed above.
A commercial HVAC system in a restaurant and other food service establishments may include:
- Rooftop units (RTUs)
- Make-up air units (MAUs)
- Exhaust hoods
- Fans
- Ductwork
- Air handling units (AHUs),
- Thermostats and control systems (to manage humidity levels and air quality)
- Heat pumps
- Air filters
- Humidifiers/dehumidifiers
- Fire dampers and smoke control systems
- Economizers (to reduce energy consumption)
- and more
However, we can’t just simply install all these and expect them to work efficiently. That’s why designing an HVAC system requires expertise and experience.
Here are some of the main factors our expert professionals consider when designing the system.
Sizing
Choosing a proper size for the system is essential, otherwise, it can’t cool/heat the place properly or leads to excessive energy consumption and increased wear.
Heat Load
We consider how much heat is generated in your place from the cooking appliances, the lights, and the average number of occupants.
Zoning
The need for an HVAC system isn’t the same in different areas. Proper zoning control helps to meet various requirements in each area, such as the kitchen, the dining room, and the storage.
Airflow
We aim for a suitable air balance by managing the airflow in each area to avoid negative air pressure. Negative air pressure can cause disturbances and problems, such as door slamming or letting in unconditioned and polluted air from the outside.
Air Quality
Good ventilation is necessary to remove the odors and smoke produced during cooking and replace the exhausted air with fresh and clean air. Also, high humidity is a problem in restaurants, so a well-designed HVAC maintains a proper level of humidity to make a more comfortable environment and reduce the risk of mold growth and corrosion.
Energy Efficiency
Installing an efficient HVAC system significantly lowers energy consumption and operating costs. It also reduces your carbon footprint by saving energy.
Noise Control
As restaurants need to have a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, designing an HVAC system and ductwork that minimizes the noise level is essential.
Compliance
There are building codes as well as health and safety regulations that require restaurants to install and maintain a proper HVAC system. Our licensed professionals know about every detail of these standards and ensure compliance in every project.
Easy Maintenance
Different components of an HVAC system need to be cleaned and maintained regularly. So, easy access to these parts is an important consideration we never forget during a professional HVAC installation.
Customization
Every restaurant has its own specifications, such as layout, occupancy volume, and type of food served. That’s why it’s essential to install an HVAC system tailored to your space. This is how we guarantee optimal results and effectiveness.
