Important Qualities for Your Commercial Air Conditioner Thermostat

Posted on

Although commercial air conditioning systems are vastly different from their residential counterparts, there is one component that both these systems need. That component is a thermostat. The mistake that business owners make when picking out a thermostat for their commercial air conditioning system is choosing any device, since they assume the selection process cannot be that different from buying a residential thermostat.

However, what these business owners are not taking into consideration is that the thermostat of a commercial air conditioning unit will be used by exponentially more people than it would in a household setting. Therefore, a few features need to be at the forefront of your decision-making process if you are to purchase a thermostat suitable for your premises. Here are a few important qualities to look for when buying a thermostat for your commercial air conditioner.

User-friendliness

Irrespective of the type of business you run, everybody in your office will have different acuity. Thus, you need to invest in a user-friendly thermostat that will be easily understandable by everyone who interacts with the air conditioning unit. The reason for this is that if people cannot decipher the temperature of the thermostat, it is likely that they will choose to change the settings anyway, possibly wreaking havoc in the process.

As a result, your air conditioning system may be in a constant state of shifting temperatures, and this will decrease the efficiency of your unit. When the thermostat is user-friendly and the temperature displayed conspicuously, employees do not have to fiddle with the settings constantly and instead will wait for the space to reach the desired temperature.

Wi-Fi capabilities

Another important quality to prioritise when scouring for a new thermostat for your commercial air conditioner is Wi-Fi capabilities. When you have a smart thermostat, you can easily connect it with your office's network. Once this is done and you download the required apps, you now have full control of your air conditioning system from your smart devices. This may seem like a minor advantage, but it can come in handy when the air conditioning system is left on and employees are out of office for a while.

By being able to turn the system off remotely, you can save a substantial amount of money in your overhead costs since the AC system will not be wasting energy. Moreover, if you do not want your employees tampering with the settings, a smart thermostat will ensure that only you can control the temperature in the office.

Take these considerations into account when you purchase a thermostat for your commercial air conditioning system.
