When selecting an air conditioning system for a commercial property, consider factors such as the size of the space, the variety of uses within the property, and the level of control required over different areas. Multi split systems are often preferred in commercial settings because they allow for different temperatures in different areas, such as in individual offices, meeting rooms, and common areas. This adaptability makes it possible to cater to the specific comfort needs of various occupants while also being energy efficient.
For larger commercial properties or those with open-plan designs, such as warehouses or large offices, a central air conditioning system might be more appropriate due to its capability to efficiently manage a consistent climate across large areas. Additionally, the installation of a central system can be planned as part of the property’s initial mechanical services, which can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than retrofitting. In any case, it’s important to work with a qualified professional who can assess the specific needs of the commercial property and recommend a system that provides the best balance of performance, energy efficiency, and cost.
