You may have heard the term retrofit regarding parts of commercial facilities, such as a “lighting retrofit” or “electrical system retrofit.”
Is a retrofit the same as upgrading equipment or replacing older units with newer ones? And if it’s different, what are the benefits of choosing a retrofit over other options?
We’re worked on commercial cooling and heating in Pickering, ON and the Greater Toronto Area for more than thirty years, so we understand all the goes into making beneficial changes for commercial and industrial HVAC systems.
We’ll explain what retrofitting means and the ways it can benefit your commercial operation.
Commercial air conditioning systems consume a great amount of energy. Compared to the standard residential AC systems, a commercial system costs 150% to 200% more to run on average, and that doesn’t account for how much 
When people think about the work commercial HVAC contractors do, they usually think of climate control. But our HVAC services concentrate on indoor air quality as much as heating and cooling. Creating clean air for commercial buildings is a large task that requires the best in technology and skill. 
October is the ideal time to arrange for heating maintenance services for your commercial or industrial facility. The winters in Toronto are intense, and no matter the type of facility you operate, the heating systems necessary for the process, comfort, and the protection of equipment need to work reliably every day through the season.
A standard commercial business space usually requires only sufficient heating for comfort for its employees, clientele, etc. during the winter months and sufficient warmth to protect equipment and allow for process. Standard ducted systems are the most common way to heat these spaces. Industrial facilities, however, are another story, and they often need a variety of heating systems to provide the right indoor climate control.
