Posted by Mitsubishi Electric on October 9th, 2019

Air conditioners are undoubtedly one of those innovations that have today become a ubiquitous part of our lives. Making the summer bearable, providing comfort from the humidity, and ensuring a comfortable temperature are a few perks of having an air conditioning unit in your commercial space. And since air conditioners have evolved expansively in recent years, there are quite a few things that one should look for before buying one. So, if you are planning to buy an air conditioner for your commercial space, here are some factors that you must consider:

Capacity

Depending on the size of the space or the cabin, your air conditioner should have enough capacity to provide effective cooling to each corner. Thus, if space is smaller, it is advised that you consider an air conditioner with low capacity, whereas you can pick a high-capacity air conditioner if space is comparatively more. You will have to research to identify the capacity of the air conditioners needed for your commercial space.

Energy Efficiency

EER (Energy Efficiency Ratings) is a rating label standardised by the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) that tells about the rate of efficiency of certain electronic equipment. More stars imply that a device has better energy efficiency. Thus, it is suggested that one should look out for an air conditioner that has maximum stars i.e. 5 in order to ensure lower power consumption.

Decide on the type of air conditioner you need

There are different types of air conditioning systems, such as a single split system, multi-split system, and VRF/VRV system. Each of these ACs comes with different heating and cooling capacities that are suitable for different commercial spaces; you can choose the one that can meet your requirements. Further, there are other crucial aspects that one must consider, such as installation, budget, effectiveness, efficiency and convenience.

Warranty

One of the most important factors to consider is the warranty period that an AC comes with. While this may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, it is advisable to pick an air conditioner that offers a longer warranty period. Also, be sure that the brand name is trustworthy and reliable.

When you purchase an air conditioner for commercial use while keeping all these aspects in mind, you can rest assured about your purchase decision as it is a well-analysed one.
