Whether a structure is residential, commercial, or industrial in use, the individual(s) overseeing associated costs wants to ensure they are not overspending on energy costs. One way to do this is by taking a deeper look at alternate HVAC options. Oftentimes, the use of temporary HVAC solutions to supplement the performance of the building’s permanent system is more cost effective than one might think.
At 1 Source Portable Air, we're proud to offer an extensive range of temporary and portable HVAC rentals, including cooling equipment, heating equipment, drying solutions and much more. What are some of the key money-saving benefits of these units for many homes and other buildings? Let's have a look.
For most HVAC applications, the most important criteria is being able to achieve the desired temperature as quickly as possible. Portable HVAC equipment, given its compact yet powerful nature, can often deliver upon this much more quickly than other solutions.
This quick reaction time proves beneficial in numerous settings, both commercial and residential. For instance, in a large commercial building where temperatures need to be regulated quickly, the use of portable HVAC equipment may provide much faster heating or cooling to meet the demands of crowds of people in a given space or for specific areas within the larger structure.
In other cases, smaller structures like homes may need smaller bursts of heating or cooling. Extended heat waves and cold snaps can place excessive strain on a home’s main HVAC system and keep it from meeting desired temperature conditions. Portable HVAC units can be rented as needed to meet these occasional needs, reducing the burden on the existing system and helping to reduce long-term energy costs.
Speaking of permanent systems, they often tend to go down or require maintenance when it’s least convenient. During these instances when repairs or a replacement are required, temporary HVAC equipment provides a much-needed stopgap for homeowners and businesses alike.
Along related lines, many of today's portable HVAC equipment rentals offer improved temperature control. This is because these devices often come with digital displays and set-point controls that make it easier to adjust temperatures without needing a professional technician.
In addition, most current portable HVAC units are also equipped with sensors that can be used to detect room temperatures, as well as humidity levels. This can be very helpful in a commercial setting, as it makes it easier to maintain the proper temperature and moisture levels for different areas and materials in the building.
Unlike permanent HVAC systems, portable HVAC units generally require much lower maintenance costs. This is because they don't rely on internal parts that need to be serviced and replaced regularly, meaning that there's much less of a burden in terms of cost and labor. In addition, many portable HVAC devices are now equipped with filters that can be easily changed without needing a trained technician. This allows for greater control over the quality of air in many settings, as well as reduced costs associated with maintenance and repair.
Should you choose to rent a portable HVAC unit, maintenance needs are typically included in your rental contract, meaning you won’t incur additional costs. Reliable equipment rental companies, such as 1 Source Portable Air,also service their equipment according to manufacturer guidelines and perform regular preventative maintenance, resulting in a reduced chance of unit downtime due to a maintenance issue.
One of the key issues with traditional HVAC units, especially in any building that sees varying uses of rooms or varying numbers of people present at a time, is size. Many units are improperly sized for certain needs, and depending on a building’s design and airflow, the permanent units may never effectively - let alone uniformly - cool or heat the space.
With portable HVAC units, this isn't an issue. Different sized units are available to rent as needed, making it easier to find the appropriate size for any given need at any given time. Portable units ensure that each room or space is comfortable and temperatures are regulated properly without over or under spending on a given unit.
Portable HVAC units are often much more efficient than window units, which can require additional work to install correctly and lack the same level of control. This can be especially helpful in commercial settings, where it's not always possible or desired to put a window unit in each room - or if doing so is simply too expensive.
By using portable HVAC units instead, it's possible to achieve greater levels of control and efficiency without having to worry about extra installation costs or energy consumption.
In some older homes, the existing HVAC infrastructure may not be up to date - or it might not even exist. This can make it difficult for a homeowner to heat or cool the home effectively, which is where portable HVAC units come in handy.
These units can easily be set up in any room and don't require extensive installation work. By renting these units, homeowners can keep their homes comfortable without having to worry about major renovations or expensive HVAC upgrades.
Overall, portable HVAC equipment has become a great option for both individuals and entities looking to save money while still maintaining ideal conditions for residents, workers, and building components. With improved temperature control options, lower maintenance costs, extensive size options, , and greater efficiency than alternates like window units, it's easy to see why so many people are turning to portable HVAC equipment as a solution.
