FAQ
What is the best type of air conditioning system for a commercial building?
The best air conditioning system for a commercial building depends on several factors including the size of the space, number of zones, usage patterns, and energy efficiency goals. Common options include ducted reverse cycle systems, split systems, VRV/VRF (Variable Refrigerant Volume/Flow) systems, and chilled water systems. VRV/VRF systems are popular for multi-zone control and energy efficiency, while ducted systems are ideal for evenly cooling large open areas. For industrial or specialist environments, packaged units or customised solutions may be required. It’s essential to have a professional assess the building’s layout, insulation, and cooling demands to recommend a system that’s cost-effective, scalable, and compliant with Australian standards.
How often should commercial air conditioning systems be serviced?
Commercial air conditioning systems should typically be serviced every 3 to 6 months, depending on the system type, building usage, and environmental conditions. For example, systems in high-use environments such as shopping centres, offices, or schools may require more frequent maintenance to ensure efficiency and air quality. Regular servicing includes inspecting and cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, and inspecting ductwork or condensers. Routine maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns, prolongs the life of the system, improves energy efficiency, and ensures compliance with workplace health and safety regulations. For optimal performance, many businesses opt for a preventative maintenance program tailored to their site and equipment.
How much does a commercial air conditioning system cost to install?
The cost to install a commercial air conditioning system can vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the building, the type of system, and any custom requirements. Basic split systems for smaller commercial spaces may start from $3,000–$5,000, while large-scale ducted or VRV/VRF systems for multi-zone buildings can range from $15,000 to over $100,000. Costs include system design, units and parts, labour, commissioning, and sometimes structural work or electrical upgrades. It’s important to also consider long-term operating costs, as energy-efficient systems can save significantly over time. The best way to get an accurate cost is through a professional site inspection and quote based on your specific requirements.
