If you are undergoing home renovations, have you thought about upgrading your HVAC system? You may think your HVAC system can remain untouched during the renovations, and this could be the case, but here we look at some reasons you should consider investing in a new HVAC system when renovating your home/
Change of Building Usage
If your renovation is to accommodate different projects, activities or purposes, then your air condition needs will change. Depending on the new use, your needs will vary. For example, incorporating a gym into the space will require sufficient cooling. A kitchen that is running all day will also have unique ventilation requirements. A massage room will need adequate heating, and so on.
Another point to mention is odours. This particularly applies to those in the food or fitness industry. You must ensure that unpleasant smells do not linger in your building, which requires the correct airflow. You must modify your airflow according to the layout of your building and your business needs.
Change in the Number of Occupants
If the renovations to your property lead to fewer occupants or an increase in occupants, your cooling and heating needs will change. If you renovate a business property, it is often due to business growth, meaning more staff and customers. Therefore, it is more important than ever to ensure your setting has a comfortable temperature.
Interior Layout Alterations
A ventilation system comprises air ducts. These take the heated and cooled air to different parts of your building. When the system is installed, it will be done so to ensure maximum comfort according to the layout of the building. If the interior layout changes, ductwork likely requires changing too. If windows, walls or doors are moved, it will affect the airflow, meaning a new layout could lead to hot and cold areas of your building. The layout of your ductwork should always be tailored to the layout of your building’s interior.
Modifications and newer materials could mean your property is heated or aired differently. Draft proofing and insulating are things that are forever evolving in construction. Therefore, your HVAC system must be assessed to ensure it is suitable for your new setting. Speak with an HVAC specialist, such as Franklyn Air, for professional advice.
