Immediate & Long Term Savings

Savings

Commercial HVAC equipment represents a major portion of any construction budget, frequently comprising as much as ten percent of the total project costs. With the added expenses associated with operating and maintaining heating and air conditioning systems, the need to select and specify reliable equipment built by a reputable manufacturer is readily apparent. Engineering assistance from Unitech, especially during the planning stages, can yield design alternatives that save tens of thousands of dollars in equipment first costs while still providing high-quality, efficient units. On new structures, architects and engineers who specify Unitech equipment have more design latitude because the unit capacity, size, arrangement and controls can be specified to match the building, not the other way around. The cooling capacity can be precisely matched to the facility, resulting in decreased energy consumption. This change is welcomed by engineers who are accustomed to choosing between oversized or undersized units. Our customers also have the option of purchasing one large unit rather than several smaller ones to do the same job. The fewer the number of units needed, the lower the installation and rigging costs. Secondary costs, such as electrical service and ductwork, also decrease proportionately.

Just as important as reduced manufacturing and installation costs is the fact that design simplicity, serviceability, system reliability and system efficiency all increase with larger unit designs, saving additional money in operational costs over the life of the building.

Cabinets can easily be configured to fit unusual spaces – under narrow roof beams, around tight corners and on existing roof curbs – flexibility that is especially important in retrofit applications. When the cabinet weight needs to be minimized, optional lightweight materials can be specified without compromising the structural integrity of the unit.
