No matter how well built your HVAC system is, at some point it will fail and require replacement. This can be a very time consuming and expensive process that should only be performed by licensed professionals. In some cases, retrofitting commercial HVAC systems can be a cheaper investment. This can improve your existing system without the cost of full replacement.
The interior layout of commercial buildings can frequently change based on the needs of the occupants. Retrofitted systems permit occupants to tailor the system to their design.
You will notice a huge improvement in comfort with a retrofitted system compared to older systems. No matter how well you have maintained your old system, over time it will decrease in performance. It is more cost effective to retrofit your system rather than maintaining it past a certain age.
Return on Investment For Commercial Ductwork
A retrofitted system will cost much less than a full system replacement. A retrofitted system will be more efficient and save a substantial amount of energy. This savings will exceed the initial installation cost very quickly. Your HVAC system will need to be replaced one day, but a retrofitted system is an excellent short term alternative.
Retrofitted systems offer the latest technology and function more consistently, efficiently and independently. This will decrease maintenance cost and make the system more durable. HVAC technology is frequently changing and your system is most likely old and outdated. This leads to wasted energy and increased operating cost. Retrofitted systems typically reduce energy consumption in commercial spaces by 35-40%.
Retrofitted systems can extend the life of your system by several years or more by replacing defective parts. The retrofitted parts will be newer and last much longer than your original system parts.
It is very important to remember that a retrofitted system must be installed by licensed professionals. You will not enjoy the benefits of a retrofitted system if you do it yourself or hire untrained cheap contractors. An improper installation can lead to system damage. This could cost you more money in the long run because the entire system may have to be replaced.
