Our church building is unquestionably a converted manufacturing building with a flat roof… Originally, only the business’s offices were air conditioned… So when my pal and I bought the building, one of the first things that needed to be done was install central a/c, but a committee researched the chances by contacting local Heating, Ventilation & A/C corporations! There was the conventional type of central a/c, in which an exterior component is affixed to a forced air heating system.
The heating system would hold an evaporative heat exchanger as well as fan, while the the outside equipment would house the compressor, compressor fan as well as a second heat exchanger, however comparatively, rooftop a/cs contain the entire system on the roof.
Aside from bypassing the heating system, rooftop a/cs limit the amount of toil that the equipment needs to do, lowering energy cost. Also, since a rooftop a/c is contained in one unit, any future complications would be easy to address by an Heating, Ventilation & A/C professional! Rooftop a/cs are popular with commercial buildings, as they are more efficient in cooling large spaces. Our sanctuary holds four hundred people, so this factor is important. Once the information had been gathered, my pal and I looked at the cost of installing either of the two systems. The traditional a/c occasion wasn’t as costly to install, but the long-term costs would add up to be more than the rooftop a/c. The main reason that rooftop cooling systems are more fancy to install is that they have to be hauled up to the roof, requiring many certified Heating, Ventilation & A/C professionals. The additional professionals would be needed for an entire day in order to complete the initial set-up, then my fine friend and I did end up going with occasion two, as well as over the years my pal and I have enjoyed reliable, cooled air during our church services.
