Running a restaurant is a big job, and keeping your customers comfortable is part of that. A huge part of restaurant comfort comes from having the right cooling setup. When it comes to commercial air conditioning systems, size and placement really matter. These two things can affect not only how cool your restaurant feels but also how much money you spend on energy bills. Let’s dive into why picking the right size and perfect spot for your system is so important!
Why Size Matters for Cooling Systems
Imagine trying to cool a giant room with a tiny fan. It just doesn’t work very well, right? The same idea applies to commercial air conditioning systems. If the system is too small, it can’t keep up on hot days, making your customers and staff uncomfortable. But if the system is too big, it turns on and off too often. This wears it out faster and uses more electricity, which means bigger bills for you.
Choosing the right size ensures your restaurant stays cool without wasting energy. Professional commercial air conditioning system installers, like our team at Putnam Mechanical, know how to calculate the perfect size for your space. We take into account the size of your dining area, kitchen heat, and how many customers you usually have.
Why Placement Is So Important
Now, think about where you put a fan. If it’s stuck in the corner behind furniture, the air doesn’t get where it needs to go. Placement for commercial air conditioning systems works the same way. You need to make sure cool air flows evenly across the restaurant.
Poor placement can lead to hot spots where some customers sweat while others freeze. Our team carefully picks spots where the cool air spreads out just right, making everyone comfortable. The kitchen also needs special attention since all the cooking creates a lot of heat. We make sure to design systems that balance the kitchen’s needs without affecting the dining area.
Energy Efficiency and Savings
Getting the size and placement right doesn’t just keep your guests happy, but it saves you money. Efficient commercial air conditioning systems don’t have to work as hard, so they last longer and cost less to run. Plus, a well-placed system can help lower your energy bills.
