Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between commercial and residential AC systems?
Commercial and residential systems differ in size, placement, complexity, drainage, equipment composition, expense, and energy use.
What refrigerant is used in commercial ACs?
Existing commercial air conditioners likely use R-22 or R-410A, both of which are being phased out because they’re harmful to the environment.
You can use stockpiled R-22 or R-410A or retrofit your commercial AC to use modern refrigerants. Residential and light commercial ACs will use R454B or R-32 after Jan. 1, 2025.
What size are commercial AC units?
Air conditioner sizing is based on a formula using:
- Your business’s square footage: Divide the square footage by 500, then multiply by 12,000 to determine the British Thermal Units your system needs to remove to cool the space.
- The number of windows: Add 1,000 BTU for each window.
- The number of workers: Add 380 BTU for each employee working in the space on a given day.
Air conditioners are rated in tons, so divide your BTU by 12,000. For example, a 5,000-square-foot space with just four people working and three windows would need a commercial AC size with 124,520 British Thermal Units, or 10 tons.
