Choosing the right air conditioning system is about more than just efficiency, it can also support business operations and property management tasks, while improving employee and tenant comfort.

So if you’re in the market for a new, commercial-grade AC, call in the experts at Rainforest Plumbing & Air.
In today’s blog, we’ll go over our industry leading installation process and how our team will help you find the perfect system to meet your sizing requirements, performance needs and your budget.

Repair or Replace Your AC

Before we get too far, let’s identify if you even need to replace your commercial air conditioner. Certain component issues can be easily handled by a quick repair, but if you’re dealing with any of the following issues, replacement will be your best bet.

  • Higher utility bills and operating costs, month over month
  • Uneven cooling and air distribution
  • Strange noises and odors coming from your venting system
  • If your current AC is over 15 years old

No matter the commercial service you need, our team is ready to work. We have fully-stocked service trucks on the ground in Phoenix and the surrounding area, ready to handle any and all cooling service calls. 
Let’s dive deeper into our industry-leading commercial AC installation and replacement services.

Key Considerations During The Buying Process

It’s important to keep the following factors to help you choose the perfect air conditioner for your property.

Size and Cooling Capacity

Proper sizing might just be the most important factor when it comes to properly functioning air conditioners. 

If your AC is too small, it will struggle to provide adequate cooling throughout your property, leading to higher operational costs and more frequent breakdowns as a result of component wear. 

If your AC unit is too large for your space it will undergo something called short cycling. Short cycling happens when your space gets cooled too quickly and the thermostat shuts down the AC before the cooling cycle is complete. This constant on and off can result in extra pressure being put on components and significantly reducing the overall lifespan and performance of your commercial cooling system.

It can also lead to temperature fluctuations, and inconsistencies, where one area of your property is freezing cold and the other is struggling to find relief.

Uneven temperatures can also lead to increased humidity and decreased indoor air quality if left unaddressed.
Thankfully, the team at Rainforest Plumbing & Air has a solution! Each of our installation appointments begins with a thorough evaluation of your building. They’ll take note of the number and location of windows and doors, square footage, and the condition of your building’s ducts to ensure they only recommend units that will meet your size requirements.

Types of Commercial Air Conditioning In Phoenix

The most common type of commercial AC in our area are roof top units. They’re large and in charge and provide superior cooling performance, while remaining easily accessible for any repair or maintenance work required. 

We’re proud to be an approved Carrier dealer here in Arizona, and have access to the most efficient models and latest features.

If you have a smaller commercial space or don’t have duct work connecting various areas, zoned or split systems are also available.
