One of the most obvious differences between residential and commercial air conditioning is not only the size of the system, but the location. Commonly, rooftop air conditioning units are how commercial locations take care of the cooling needs in their building. There are many benefits to have a rooftop air conditioning system, from ease of access to saving space in the building and more. In this article, we explore some of the top benefits and the reasons why.

Why Choose a Rooftop Air Conditioning Unit?
When talking about industrial and warehouse commercial spaces, there are several reasons why having a rooftop air conditioner is the better option in terms of comfort and efficiency.
Some of the more prominent reasons we recommend a rooftop air conditioning system are:
- Accessibility – The location of these units make the maintenance easier for our technicians to handle without causing any delay or disturbances to the work in your building. We can access all of the units at once, without needing access to different apartments or units throughout the building. You probably won’t even notice we are there.
- Space Saving – Commercial HVAC systems can be rather huge and utilizing the rooftop for your air conditioning saves a lot of space on the building’s interior. This means more room for your business needs.
- Less Noise – Rooftop systems are appreciated by those working inside commercial buildings because they mean the noise of the system stays outside, allowing a better working environment on the inside.
- Choice in Power – Whether gas or electricity is your preference, a rooftop system can accommodate either.
- Avoidance of Dirt and Debris – A ground unit in a commercial building can see buildup a lot quicker, making it necessary to clean more often. A rooftop unit is designed specifically to be outside and is thus better equipped to handle the natural buildup of dirt and debris.
- Security – The system’s rooftop location means it is a lot easier to limit access for those that don’t require it.
- Cost-Effective – Rooftop air conditioners are less costly to install because of the ease of installation.
- Energy Efficiency – These systems have a great range of energy efficient features that will benefit your building’s carbon footprint as well as your quarterly budget. They consume less energy than their ground-based counterparts and make better use of the outdoor weather to heat or cool the building accordingly.
These are just a handful of the benefits of a great commercial HVAC system. If you are considering commercial HVAC system installation, make sure to speak with a professional to help measure your building to ensure the system you choose will suitably meet all the needs of your building and business accordingly.
