The primary difference between commercial and residential air conditioning lies in the scale and complexity of the systems. Commercial air conditioning systems are designed to cool larger spaces, such as office buildings, shopping centres or industrial facilities, while residential systems are intended for smaller spaces like homes or apartments. Commercial systems are often more complex, with multiple zones and higher cooling capacities. They may also include advanced features, such as variable refrigerant flow (VRF) or rooftop units. The installation, maintenance and repair of commercial systems require specialised knowledge and equipment.

Common types of commercial air conditioning systems include rooftop units (RTUs), split systems, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems and ducted systems. Rooftop units are often used in large commercial buildings and are installed on the roof to save space. Split systems, similar to residential units, are used in smaller commercial spaces. VRF systems are highly efficient and can provide heating and cooling simultaneously in different zones. Ducted systems distribute air through ducts to multiple areas of a building. Each type has its own advantages, depending on the size and cooling requirements of the space.

Choosing the right commercial air conditioning system depends on factors such as the size of the building, the number of occupants, the cooling requirements and the energy efficiency goals. It’s important to consider whether you need a system that can handle multiple zones, such as a VRF system, or if a more straightforward solution like a rooftop unit will suffice. Energy efficiency is also a key factor, as commercial spaces often have higher cooling demands. Consulting with a professional HVAC contractor can help you determine the best system for your specific needs.
