Anyone owning a building and paying an electrical bill knows that commercial HVAC systems can be expensive even when running perfectly.  Now take that system and add in a couple service issues that make the system less efficient and now you have an even more expensive propisition. 

If you have are running a system more than 7 years old, you should look and compare the new systems.  With some of the tax breaks offered, it may make sense to upgrade to a newer system.  The newer system will be more efficient than your current one and should save you a nice chuch of money off your current electrical bills. 

Additionally there are mnay low cost to no-cost methods of reducing your energy usage for your company.  One the best ways to reduce your energy use is to have your commercial HVAC system properly maintained to insure all parts are working correctly and as efficiently as possible.  This one step could save you a great deal of money.  It is well known that if your HVAC system has a problem and goes without maintenance, that problem can get worse and lead to really high repair costs and major equipment replacement.

You can contact a commercial HVAC Systems service specialist to come out and inspect your equipment and insure all is running properly and you have no problems.  When the service specialist comes out to your business location, make sure to ask them about reducing the amount of outside air that the system brings to heat or cool.  The more air you bring in from outsite, the more you will pay in electrical costs. 

Additionally you can ask them about any upgrades to your equipment and the cost savings that should be seen with from the reduction of engery usage.  You can compare the cost of equipment (minus incentives) verses the reduction in engery costs.  This way you can make a much more informed decision. 

When your service specialists comes to your location, ask them to read the flow measurements of fresh air being brought into the building.  You can ask the service specialists for their recommendation to reduce the flow from outside and use more inside recirculated air.  Using more recirculated air and reducing the amount of air brought in from the outside can assit you in bringing your engery costs down substantially.

HVAC controls have made great strides in assisting in the reduction of engery usage by better management techniques.  One such technique used is to use inside air recirculation during the day (hottest parts of the day) and use outside air at night.  This allows your company to miss peak times and reduce the amount of energy required to cool the building.  Over air conditioning is a common mistake within businesses. 

There are HVAC systems that are very affordable investments and can make a huge inpact on the amount of electricity required to heat or cool your building.  If you have old thermostats, you should upgrade these immediately as they are costing you excessive money.  The new thermostats allow you to cool rooms by tempature.  This can be a great cost savings for your business.
