Replacing your air conditioning? Consider a VRF HVAC system

If you’ve been living with uncomfortable temperatures, humidity issues and repeated breakdowns, you know you’re going to need to replace your air conditioning system before summer gets here. And if you’re smart (which of course you are as a business owner or manager!) then now is the right time to think about it.

That’s true for a couple of reasons:

  • Get ahead of high demand and possibly long wait times when the hot weather hits.
  • You can get a great deal. Many suppliers will have equipment on hand that didn’t sell over last summer that they’re happy to sell for a discounted price to make room for new models.
  • Experts recommend replacing your heating system at the same time as your air conditioning system.

Now is an ideal time to replace both systems without disrupting your business.

How does all this change impact HVAC system design? Read on for some important strategies.
