Providing air conditioning for a commercial or industrial facility is much different than air conditioning a residential home. Most houses use the same type of refrigerant-based split systems to provide cooling. There are some variations in design, such as ductless mini splits and packaged units, but they still operate on the exact same principles.
With commercial and industrial facilities, air conditioning can mean several different jobs with different goals. Rooftop units may handle comfort needs in a way similar to residential air conditioning, but commercial facilities also have cooling requirements for process and for equipment, such as server room cooling. The air conditioning system for a business often encompasses several types of cooling systems—such as the chiller, which we’re going to look at closer today.


Commercial HVAC is a complex field that requires years of training and experience. Most business owners and commercial facility managers don’t have specialized knowledge of this field, and that’s the reason they rely on contractors like us for their commercial air conditioning and
One of the most important commercial HVAC services we offer for our customers is cooling for a relatively small area of a facility. But it’s one of the most vital areas: the server room (also computer rooms and IT rooms).
At no other time have people been more aware of the need for improvements to indoor air quality in both homes and businesses than now. We often work with
Yet another harsh winter in Toronto is getting started, and we can expect temperatures to drop much lower than the 3°C we’re currently experiencing. If you own or operate a commercial business, this is the time of year when you’ll have your facility sealed off from the outside weather as much as possible, both for the purposes of comfort and protection of equipment and safety, and to keep energy bills from rising exponentially.
The way you use
You don’t want your commercial facility to suffer from any interruptions during the harsh Toronto winters because of a heating system failure. This applies to almost any type of commercial operation, from manufacturing to retail.
Although people connect the word “refrigerant” to devices that produce cooling, such as air conditioners and refrigeration equipment, refrigerant is often an essential part of the heating and cooling systems for commercial spaces. The standard rooftop units that most facilities use for climate control use refrigerant to both move into and out of the space. Under normal circumstances, refrigerant-based equipment will use the same charge of refrigerant through its service life—refrigerant circulates in a closed loop and does not dissipate through the heat exchange process.
