Have you ever seen commercial heating system? Everything is huge, the
ventilation systems, the boilers and the
exhaust fans.
Commercial heating requires much more experience than the residential heating
does. Many commercial heating systems are either in huge basements, on the side of the buildings or
on rooftops. A lot of space is needed for commercial heating systems; there are no real compact
units like you see in residential. Sometimes the units are so big that they need several hundred
feet to be installed.
Due to the fact that the commercial applications are bigger, more can
actually go wrong with the units. There are thousands of companies in the United States that
specialize in commercial heating. Without these companies, if something went wrong a huge amount of
people would be cold or there would be no hot water. With residential problems only a handful of
people are inconvenienced for a bit. Think residential but on a larger scale.
Another big difference in commercial heating and residential is that you as a
homeowner can go to the local Home Depot or the local plumbing
supply store and pick up a part. But for commercial
applications, these stores won’t do. It is companies such as Weil McLain, Peerless and A.O
Smith as well as local HVAC companies can supply the parts you need.
No repair for commercial heating systems is going to be very cheap. Some
parts like boilers and pumps have been with the
heating system since the beginning and if one of those parts go and the company is out of
business, you as a building owner have to think about replacing the units, which can be
thousands of dollars.
