If you own or manage an industrial facility, then you probably use commercial heating solutions rather than those meant for your average household. Residential heating is rarely strong or complicated enough to handle a large industrial facility. Meanwhile, commercial heating is more powerful, uses split heating systems, and can have modular elements installed for maintaining flexibility.

Powerful Options

One of the most important parts of a commercial heating system is the strength afforded to the larger, more complex options available for commercial buildings. There are many different types of commercial heating options, but they all heat and cool large areas efficiently. For example, some systems will try to keep temperatures stable in areas with a lot of people, while using fans in areas where the temperature is less important than airflow. Some commercial heating systems will use heat pumps for the most efficient heating available. These complicated systems require a unique set up compared to residential heating-split HVAC systems.

Split Systems

Split systems in the HVAC industry refers to heating units where the system is not centered around a single HVAC unit but split between different units. For example, the large air condenser used to cool air will be located in one place with fans in another place, while the gas burner, heat pump, or other heating element is located elsewhere. These split systems allow large heating systems to function properly, as one unit would not be strong enough to heat your average industrial facility. Meanwhile, residential systems can manage with a simple system, as they don't need one that is complicated. Additionally, split systems are easier to maintain, as they are essentially modular.

Modular

Finally, commercial heating systems are modular, meaning that each element can be maintained and repaired separately without affecting the other systems. This is a great benefit for commercial heating systems that would otherwise be difficult to repair, being large and complex. A repair technician can shut off the heat, air condenser, or fans in one area while leaving the rest of the system intact, making maintenance and repair that much easier. Plus, if the building expands, more modules can be added without needing an entire separate HVAC system.

Commercial heating systems are designed with industrial and manufacturing needs in mind. They allow large industrial facilities to be heated and cooled efficiently through split systems, where individual elements of the heating system are installed in separate locations. This set up allows for individual elements to be repaired or maintained separately, making maintenance that much easier. For more information, contact a company like Mercury Tec.
