Warehouse Heating and Air

Most people take their heating and air conditioning for granted until it is broken or missing from their lives. The cost can be exorbitant, so it is essential to research your options and get several estimates especially when you are talking about installing a unit for a warehouse or manufacturing facility where you are facing several thousand square feet.

Whether for new construction or existing buildings, when shopping for a new unit and working with a heating, ventilating, and air condition / refrigeration (HVAC/R), consider the following:

• Contact organizations around you that work in a similar industry to get recommendations for types of units and referrals for HVAC/R companies
• Carefully consider how each space within the building will be utilized
• Current and future heating generating manufacturing equipment that will impact the ambient temperature
• The size of the facility and location will make a enormous impact on equipment requirements and zoning regulations
• Will you have special clean rooms that will need to be temperature controlled?
• Will air purification be a determining factor in the unit ability because of your industry?
  

Other considerations will be such things as whether you will need to use a gas verses electric system, which will be determined by such things as how many docks and opens doors need to be covered, and if direct fired air is a better use of your investments verses infrared heaters.

As you will see, the options may seem endless. Avoid unnecessary loss of time or assessment of fines and make sure to contact a professional installer because you will be required to obtain permits and pass inspections.
